Chapter 265 Giving birth
With her sisters accompanying her during the rest of the delivery process, Bai Lu felt more confident. She could even joke a few words when she wasn't in pain, but her face would immediately contort when the pain came. She repeated this state for three hours.
"My water broke!" Bai Lu shouted in a hoarse voice, and an uncontrollable hot stream gushed out.
"Be good, remember to take deep breaths and conserve your strength. It will be soon. When the analgesia is very intensive, you will be born. Remember, take a deep breath first, and then push, just like you would push hard if you are constipated!" Yanan described it this way. After all, she is the eldest sister and the only one among the three sisters who has accompanied someone during childbirth. When her elder sister who married far away gave birth, she was the only one who could fly to accompany her.
"Uh~ Will you stay with me?" Bai Lu said pitifully. She was already in pain and numb and just wanted to unload as soon as possible.
"I'm here. Yiyi's belly is too big and she's outside. I'm afraid she won't be able to control herself and join in the effort..." Yanan joked to make everyone relax.
"Haha~hiss~oh my god, is there a minute in this gap?" Bai Lu's face distorted again while laughing.
"Everyone get ready. Ah Heng, come in and feel her pulse. I'll tell her the rhythm!" Yanan summoned her husband to serve her. In this way, Bai Lu would have someone protecting her from all sides. With her by her side to give her courage, there shouldn't be any problems.
So, Bai Lu's three men, Xiao Liu hugged her from behind, Xiao Jiu wiped her sweat at her side, and Ye Xiao was in charge of delivering the baby in front of her. And Hua Heng acted as a human fetal monitor, taking her pulse, observing the changes in her pregnant belly, and facilitating first aid.
Once the biological equipment was ready, two quarters of an hour later, Yanan's voice was mixed with Bai Lu's increasingly rapid screams. "Take a deep breath when it hurts, push your feet down on the bed, remember to use long force, don't push hard when it doesn't hurt, rest and conserve your energy!"
"Hiss~ Here it comes again, my stinky baby, come out quickly! Ah~" Bai Lu was in such a mess and anxious that she forgot to hold back her strength. Her loud screams scared everyone in Xiaoyao Garden so much that they trembled all over!
"If it doesn't hurt, stop shouting and it's a waste of energy. Remember to use your strength after you breathe! One or two deep breaths ~ use your strength ~" Yanan had almost mastered the rules while watching. She shouted slogans and directed Bai Lu to follow her rhythm and use her strength. Not only Bai Lu, but others also followed the rhythm of the slogans, one or two deep breaths ~ use your strength, one or two deep breaths ~ use your strength! It was right for Yiyi to be driven out early. It was too magical, and people couldn't help but follow her!
"My dear, the head is out, keep trying!" Ye Xiao had already seen the baby's wet black hair, and he shouted excitedly.
"Good job! Bailu, keep taking deep breaths and use force. This time use less force than before. Use gentle force and push out little by little..." Yanan was very happy watching the baby's head move out little by little. She instructed Bailu to use gentle force because she was afraid that if she was too hasty it would cause tearing.
Bai Lu whimpered and exerted force under Yanan's guidance. With the last uncontrollable push, she felt something sliding out of her body. How painful the previous experience was, how relieved she felt now!
"Wuwaa~ Wuwaa~ Wuwaa..." The sweet and melodious sound of a baby crying finally reached everyone's ears.
"You're quite self-aware. You didn't get spanked for crying. Hurry up and bring the baby here to be cleaned!" This time, Yanan was directing the new dad Ye Xiao. The baby was wrinkled after being soaked in the amniotic fluid for so long, so he had to be cleaned no matter what.
"Husband, is Bailu okay? If she is, come over and cut the umbilical cord and bandage it!" Yanan began to direct Hua Heng again.
"Xiaoliu, Xiaojiu, bring in some hot water to wash your wife and change her into warmer clothes. And make the bed again!" Yanan directed Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu who were still in a daze.
"Okay, let's go right away!" Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu came to their senses and said hurriedly.
After a flurry of cleaning up, the baby was washed, the umbilical cord was cut, and the baby was wrapped in a soft cloth. The wrapped baby seemed to feel safe, and the crying finally stopped. On the other side, Bai Lu's bed was replaced with new bedding, and she also washed herself again and changed into long-sleeved and long-pants home clothes. She lay down on the bed again, and the baby was placed next to her. Feeling the little meat ball squirming next to her, Bai Lu exuded the radiance of maternal love from the inside out. This was the baby she had given birth to with half her life's love!
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Yiyi's voice came from outside the door.
"..." Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. They realized that they were so busy that they had forgotten that one of the steps in childbirth was to announce the baby's gender. Several people in the room couldn't help but laugh. They were so busy that who would remember to announce the good news to the outside world!
"Is it a boy or a girl? I don't know either." Bai Lu also asked. Look at this midwifery team that is so amateurish that even the mother doesn't know the gender of the baby. It's such a failure.
"We don't know either!" Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu said in unison.
"..." Yanan and Huaheng exchanged a speechless look. They knew it, and so did the baby's father! Of course, it was up to the baby's father to perform at this moment!
"It's a boy!" Ye Xiao said loudly. This was his first time being a father. He followed the whole process and delivered the baby himself, so of course he knew. However, he was more concerned about his wife's condition and the baby's health, so he didn't think of informing his family of the baby's gender as soon as possible.
"Wow! There's someone to take over! Let's go, take our seats and have a drink!" Excited cheers came from outside the house, and people said that they could start the feast without any worries!
"Bai Lu, you can drink some soup, eat something, and rest for a while. You have to learn to breastfeed, otherwise you will be anxious when your baby is hungry, so drink as much soup as possible! Your family is reunited, and I have to go down and rest for a while!" After all, Yanan is pregnant, and after several hours of encouragement and command, she is also tired! Hua Heng, who was beside her, took Bai Lu's pulse and also took Yanan's pulse, so that he could rest assured that she would accompany her throughout the rest of the delivery process.
"Okay, big sister, I get it. You're tired too, so go and rest!" Bai Lu was a little weak due to excessive physical exertion, but she would still follow Yanan's advice and try her best to supplement nutrition in preparation for breastfeeding. She had risked her life to give birth to the baby, so she had to raise it well. In this era, breastfeeding is the basic guarantee for raising a baby!
"Let me, an old man, take your pulse too!" Old Hua and Master Wang came in after Hua Heng and the others left. One took Bai Lu's pulse, and the other took the baby's pulse.
"Well, not bad, not bad! Very strong! If there is enough breast milk, it will grow better!" The two old men have limited energy, and they went to rest halfway through the night. They are too old to be as good as young people. They didn't wake up until the baby was born, and then came to check the results.
"..." Bai Lu, who had not yet secreted a drop of milk, felt a little embarrassed. Of course, she understood the hidden meaning in the words of the two old men.
"Do you two genius doctors have any good prescriptions that can quickly heal my body?" Ye Xiao also understood the hidden meaning in their words and asked hurriedly.
"Third brother, you are smart. Yes, your wife is in good health. But giving birth to a child has consumed a lot of energy. She should be taken good care of. We don't have much else, but we do have some health-preserving recipes. Just use diet therapy, which will not hurt the body and will not affect breastfeeding!..." The two old men talked for a while, and finally left a piece of paper full of diet recipes, and repeatedly explained how to make and eat it, and then left with satisfaction, with their hands behind their backs.
"Husband, they told me I'm hungry!" Although Bai Lu was very tired, she still insisted on eating something before resting. The baby beside her closed his eyes and didn't cry or make a fuss, but that didn't mean he would be so obedient when he was hungry.
"Okay, let's eat together as a family!" Ye Xiao agreed with a doting smile on his face.
