There is a pregnant woman at home

After the beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the hard-working children sleeping on the balcony can finally spend the whole night peacefully without being woken up by the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night.

Today is Saturday again, and it's rare that I don't have to go to work, so I lie comfortably in the sun and take a good time to get lazy.After a while, I got up to wash up, and made a simple breakfast as quickly as possible.

I habitually go to knock on Ji Luojue's door first. I always get up late on weekends, but I can almost match her biological clock, so most of the time, we can sit together and have breakfast together for the first time.

He raised his hand and knocked a few times, but there was no response.Are you still asleep?

I have always been very conscious not to wake up Miss Ji who is sleeping. Usually when encountering such a situation, I would go to eat breakfast honestly by myself, and then lie on the sofa and play with my mobile phone - the sound of watching TV is too loud, or Play mobile phone insurance a little.

Normally, around ten o'clock, she would always get up, sometimes ask me to have a hot breakfast, and sometimes simply wait for lunch.But today was very strange. She didn't come out of the room until eleven o'clock.

Puzzled in my heart, I dropped my phone and went outside the bedroom door again.

"Luo Jue, are you awake?" I knocked on the door, but there was still no movement.

This situation was strikingly similar to the time she ran away from home before, and I was startled: Didn't she play some trick of running away from home again?

But it seems that nothing has made her angry recently, so what's the trouble?

After much deliberation and no answer, I simply raised my hand and pushed the door, and rushed in.Hastily looked over to the bed first, fortunately, Miss Ji was lying down obediently, her body under the ultra-thin silk quilt twisted slightly, it seemed that she should be awake.

I'm already awake but I don't speak, it's really... nothing to worry about, isn't this...

I sighed helplessly in my heart, and once again felt that Ji Luojue, who was pregnant, was unpredictable and really difficult to serve.

"Are you awake, do you want to get up and have some breakfast?"

As I spoke, I walked around to the head of the bed, just about to raise my hand to shake her, but when I lowered my head, I saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the person on the bed.

Ji Luojue's face was pale, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, her temple hair was slightly disheveled, her teeth were biting her lower lip, and her eyes were tightly closed.

I was startled, squatted down and called her softly: "Luo Jue, Luo Jue? Are you okay?"

After a while, she gently opened her eyes, her eyes were a little blurred, as if she looked at me for a while before she replied in a low voice: "It's okay. But... I seem to be contracting..."

ah?There was a momentary blankness in my mind, and it took a moment for me to suddenly come back to my senses.

"You mean, you're going to give birth?!"

She nodded slightly, and I immediately became at a loss: "Then...then should we go to the hospital right now? Or...shall I call Xiao Xiao first? How are you doing now, can you get out of bed, or should I Just call an ambulance... Didn't you say there's still half a month left, why..."

I don't know if it's because my hands and feet are too funny, or the pain caused by the contractions has just passed, but Ji Luojue twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled.

"Why call an ambulance? You're exaggerating too much."

I looked nervous: "How can this be called an exaggeration, what if you can't wait to be born at home, and there is another accident?"

"The contractions have only started for an hour or two, not as fast as you think."

At this time, she can still calmly speak to comfort me, there is really no one else.

"Then...then I'll help you change your clothes now, let's go to the hospital quickly."

"Don't be so anxious," Ji Luojue smiled slightly and looked up at me: "Go and find out what Xiao Xiaorang prepared before, and then call her and tell her about the current situation."

"okay."

I agreed in a daze, and then ran out in a hurry. A moment later, I came in holding the phone and put it in her ear: "Xiao Xiao said he wanted to talk to you."

She nodded slightly, and then concentrated on answering a series of questions raised by Xiao Xiao. After a while, she indicated with her eyes that it was okay, and then I put the phone back to my ear.

"How is it, Xiao Xiao, is Luo Jue about to give birth?"

"En." Xiao Xiao agreed, and then said: "But you don't need to worry, her contractions have just started not long ago, and it's still early before the official delivery. I have an emergency operation next, and I may not be able to take care of you."

"Then... what should I do then? Shall I drive her to the hospital first?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a while before continuing: "You can come here now, but I asked Luo Jue just now, everything is normal for her, and she is only in the first stage of labor now, and there is still a day or so before the formal delivery. You You can discuss it with her, if you feel uncomfortable in the hospital, it’s okay to stay at home temporarily, and come back when the contractions become more intensive.”

I was taken aback: "Can it still be like this?"

Xiao Xiao smiled lightly: "Well, because of the special environment of the hospital, pregnant women are prone to nervousness here, and it may be more comfortable at home. But if you are worried about something wrong, you can come here now, but..."

"But what?"

There was a hint of embarrassment in Xiao Xiao's voice: "Because her due date is suddenly advanced, and the previously reserved bed has not been vacated, I can only ask the nurse to arrange it temporarily, maybe... it won't be as good as the predetermined condition... "

ah?Although such a result was somewhat unexpected, I know that given the popularity of Xiao Xiao's hospital, it must have taken her a lot of effort to temporarily arrange a hospital bed.

"Then we..." I subconsciously went to look at Ji Luojue, just happened to see her look up at me, and said, "You can stay at home first, let Xiao Xiao prepare for the next operation with peace of mind, I have no problem here."

I parroted Ji Luojue's words truthfully, Xiao Xiao thought about it after listening, and then said: "That's all right, I'll let Xiaocai arrange the hospital beds first, and then go to pick you up. You stay at home and watch Luo Jue , if anything happens, just call Xiaocai at any time."

"okay."

Xiao Xiao worriedly explained some precautions and how to observe and calculate the frequency of uterine contractions, until someone else's voice could be vaguely heard on the phone, as if urging her to enter the operating room, and then hung up the phone in a hurry .

When I returned to the bedside, Ji Luojue's face was calm, and her eyes were not as painful as before. It seems that now is not the time for contractions.

"Help me to sit up first." She said suddenly.I froze for a moment: "You lie down well, what are you doing now?"

She looked at me amusedly: "If I don't change my clothes and wash up now, how can I go to the hospital with you later?" She tugged on her fat pajamas while talking: "Just wear this to go out?"

In fact, I don't think it matters what I wear when I go out, but...Miss Ji, who always pays attention to her own image, must be determined not to go out in her pajamas...

I could only help her up obediently and carefully, changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.There was another contraction in the middle, Ji Luojue covered her stomach and bent down to lean on me, and it took a while before it passed.I took the opportunity to quickly take out my mobile phone, call out the stopwatch, and start counting the time and frequency of contractions as Xiao Xiao explained.

After washing up, she ate something at my insistence, and then lay back on the bed with her stomach supported.

In fact, the interval between contractions is still relatively long, and Ji Luojue is also relatively relaxed, and even started chatting with me in a good mood.

"You don't have to be so nervous. Didn't Xiao Xiao say that everything is normal now?"

I was unmoved, holding the phone and looking down from time to time: "You said it was easy, can you not be nervous?"

When Ji Luojue heard this, she laughed "puchi", "It's as if you are the one who is giving birth."

I was embarrassed: "The accompanying child is also nervous, okay, it's not at all easier than your childbirth."

"Yes, yes, you are right."

I don't know if it's because I was so moved by seeing me so nervous, but it's rare for Miss Ji not to refute me, and for the first time in the world, she echoed me aloud.

"Do you feel any discomfort now, do you need me to rub or massage for you?"

"It's okay, it's okay when the contractions don't come."

In the past, she would always ask me to rub her shoulders and legs when she had nothing to do, but now when she really feels uncomfortable, she doesn't call her anything. A woman's heart is stabbed in the bottom of her heart. I really can't figure out what Ji Luojue is thinking.

But of course, I can't really think that she doesn't have any discomfort in her body now. After thinking about it, I put my hands on her waist and started to rub gently with moderate strength.At the same time, he did not forget to ask: "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it."

She nodded with a smile, and asked me suddenly after a while: "Xiao Er, are you looking forward to the birth of this child?"

What kind of problem is this? Whether I expect it or not, I can't stop it, or even affect his birth.

I nodded, and the smile on Ji Luojue's lips became bigger, and she looked down at her round belly with joy and anticipation.

"I'm also looking forward to it. I want to know whether he is a man or a woman, whether he is fat or thin, whether his eyebrows and eyes are pretty, and whether he looks good when he smiles..."

Her words stopped suddenly, and my subordinates keenly felt that her abdomen suddenly became hard, which seemed to be another round of contractions.

"A newborn baby can only cry, how can he laugh?"

I deliberately opened my mouth to divert her attention, and after a while the contractions stopped, and the abdomen became soft again, Ji Luojue breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not forget to raise her head to refute me.

"I'm not just talking about the time when he was just born. He will always laugh in the future. Could it be that he cries all day?"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard from my mother that I often cried when I was young and seldom laughed."

"Really?" Ji Luojue was taken aback for a moment, and then she said something that baffled me.

"Then my baby must be very naughty after birth."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment: "Why?" The child was born by her, not me...

Ji Luojue had a somewhat unnatural expression on her face: "Well... I heard that babies generally... resemble aunts more, so..."

Is there such a saying?I was suspicious, but I didn't refute her aloud.

We just chatted again and again, and the time passed quickly. During the period, I went to the kitchen to make a meal for Ji Luojue. In the afternoon, when her contractions became more frequent, Bai Xiaocai At Xiao Xiao's request, he came over and took us to the hospital.

The beginning of the year is also the peak time for childbirth. Bai Xiaocai and Xiao Xiao spent a lot of effort to arrange a bed for Ji Luojue. Although it is not comparable to the single ward we booked before, we can arrange a double ward in such a stressful time. , it is not easy.

The clinical pregnant women arrived earlier than us. I heard that the uterine contractions have started for a long time and they are about to give birth.I don't know if it's really like what Xiao Xiao said, the atmosphere in the hospital is too tense, or it's because of the constant "ouch" of the pregnant woman next door who is in labor. Ji Luojue, who arrived at the hospital, looked much more serious than when she was at home. .

Another round of contractions came, Ji Luojue closed her eyes and clenched her lower lip, her face became a little paler.According to what Bai Xiaocai taught me, I gently massaged her abdomen and waist, hoping to relieve some of her physical pain.

The pregnant woman in the next bed seemed to be about the same age as Ji Luojue, but her ability to endure pain was not a little bit worse.When the contractions came, she held her husband's hand and cried and shouted: "Honey, it hurts so much, please call the doctor and give me an injection..."

Her husband turned around and looked at us embarrassedly, and lowered his voice to persuade his wife: "Honey, the doctor said that these pains are inevitable, and it is for the baby to be born early, bear with it, it will be fine soon..."

"It'll be fine soon, I've been in pain all day, but you said it was easy, why don't you try it..."

Her husband looked embarrassed, but he still comforted him with a good temper: "I'm a man, so I can't do it for you even if I want to. My wife is good, just bear with me, it will be fine when the baby is born..."

The pregnant woman refused to give up, but she became anxious after hearing what her husband said.

"You just care about the child and don't care about me, right? As long as the child can be born, it doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't matter if it hurts to death?"

"My wife, what are you talking about? How could I think so..."

The husband was still racking his brains to think of words to persuade his wife, but my heart was "thumped" by the words of the pregnant woman, and I suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Although the medical technology is very advanced now, there are still pregnant women who accidentally die during childbirth. Among other things, the medical trouble at the end of last year was just...

I looked down at Ji Luojue's pale face covered with beads of sweat, and hurriedly wiped her off with a towel while asking softly, "Luo Jue, how are you? Are you feeling particularly uncomfortable? How about you?" Tell Xiao Xiao to come over and take a look?"

Ji Luojue lost her strength, shook her head slightly and said nothing.

I couldn't stop feeling distressed in my heart, and I remembered that Bai Xiaocai had told her to let her eat as much food as possible during the contractions, otherwise, even if she survived the first stage of labor, she would not have the strength to give birth.So, he hurriedly took the porridge aside, squatted halfway in front of the bed and looked at her: "Let's eat something, okay?"

Ji Luojue froze for a moment, then opened her mouth and took a sip from the spoon in my hand.However, she only took four or five mouthfuls, so she covered her mouth with one hand and shook her head gently.

I sighed helplessly, put the porridge bowl back to its original place, sat back on the edge of the bed and continued to gently massage her waist and abdomen.

Even though the time of pain was hard, before I knew it, the sky turned dark.

The pregnant woman in the next bed had frequent uterine contractions, as if there was no gap between them, she cried out in pain one after another, and it hadn't stopped since the night. Ji Luojue frowned tightly, and she didn't know if it was because she was uncomfortable or was annoyed by her.

The labor pains have lasted for more than ten hours, and Ji Luojue's body was sweating layer after layer, and the sheets were changed several times, but she just gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.The interval between uterine contractions has become shorter and shorter, but the time of pain is getting longer and longer. She didn't open her mouth for several hours, only occasionally forced to eat something under my persuasion.

Xiao Xiao's operation has been completed, and he came over to see it a few times, but thinking that he might soon need to save his energy for Ji Luojue's delivery, he asked Bai Xiaocai to watch here, while he went back to the office to recharge his batteries.

I kept rubbing the bottom of Ji Luojue's huge belly with my hands, but suddenly I felt her body tense up, even the hands hanging on her waist were tightly clenched into fists, and her abdomen became as hard as a stone again.

"Has it started to hurt again?" I asked softly in my ear, but Ji Luojue didn't respond.After a while, her body slowly relaxed, and she was short of breath, and it took a long time to catch her breath.

"Xiao Er," seeing her open her mouth suddenly, I hurried up and asked, "What's the matter, do you need something? Or is there something uncomfortable?"

She gasped and shook her head: "It seems that the water has broken, please call Xiaocai for me to take a look."

I was startled, nodded after a while, and quickly took out my phone to call Bai Xiaocai.She came very quickly, and she may have been paying attention to the situation here all the time, not daring to relax for a moment.

After listening to what I said, Bai Xiaocai lifted the quilt, directed Ji Luojue to lie flat with her legs apart, buried her head in her crotch to check carefully, and then raised her head and said: "Well, the water broke, and it should be gone soon. Can enter the second stage of labor."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at me: "Miss Cheng, you should try to let Sister Luo eat as much as possible, and at the same time conserve her energy. I think she will be able to enter the delivery room soon."

I nodded quickly, and when I turned around, I saw Ji Luojue curled up, as if she had a new wave of contractions, so I hurried back to the bed and continued to massage her.

Sure enough, after the water broke, the labor pains were obviously more frequent and more intense than before.At the back, Ji Luojue gripped the bed sheet tightly with both hands, and even began to groan and groan uncontrollably.

"Luo Jue, if you feel really uncomfortable, you can yell out, it will probably make you feel better."

The pregnant woman in the next bed had just been pushed away to the delivery room. Seeing that her cry of pain didn't stop, or even weakened at all, I thought that this cry might save more energy than trying to bear the pain.

She shook her head slightly, subconsciously rubbing her huge abdomen with her hands, trying to relieve the unbearable pain on her body.There is no other way to do it, and I can only rub her as much as possible, hoping to get over this round of pain as soon as possible.

After another hour ticked, Ji Luojue was finally pushed into the delivery room.Before going in, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed my arm, with a rare tension and vulnerability on her face.

"Little Er, can you go in with me?"

I froze for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Xiao who was fully dressed.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao winked at the accompanying nurse: "Go and help her change the isolation suit, and come in together after disinfection."

When the nurse and I were ready to enter the delivery room, Ji Luojue had already been safely placed on the delivery bed, and she was stretching her neck to look towards the door. When she saw me coming in, her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand subconsciously.

I ran two steps forward and grabbed her hand. Although I didn't know what to do in my heart, I still didn't forget to comfort her first.

"Luo Jue, I'm here, it's okay, the baby will be born soon."

In fact, I also know that it can't be as easy as I said. Among other things, the pregnant woman in our clinic was pushed in for an hour, but she hasn't seen her out yet.

Just as I was thinking, a scream suddenly came from the left side: "Ah...husband, I won't give birth..."

I turned my head and looked: I was really afraid of something, the pregnant woman next door who seemed to have a much louder voice than energy was giving birth right next to her?Her husband was sweating all over his head and face, and he seemed to have worked harder than her.I don't know if I was frightened by my wife's shouts, or I was tired of racking my brains to think of all kinds of words to comfort the pregnant woman.

"Honey, hold on tighter, the doctor said it will be fine soon, isn't the baby all in the basin, if you work harder, it will be successful soon."

"Ah... I'm bored, husband, you should discuss it with the doctor and cut it off for me..."

Her husband didn't know what to say, so the doctor next to him said with a cold face, "You're doing well, what are you doing? Why don't you spend more energy on giving birth if you don't have the time to yell. "

After speaking, as if he was afraid of affecting our side, he winked at the nurse beside him and pulled up the curtain between the two delivery beds.

The distance between the two delivery beds was actually not that close, but even with the curtains drawn, her shouts could still be heard.

"Ah...it hurts to death...Doctor, why don't you give me an injection of anesthesia..."

I frowned and turned back, but when I turned my head, I saw Xiao Xiao's face didn't seem very good-looking, and I was about to ask if she was not feeling well, but she suddenly said softly: "Cheng Er, I'm sorry, these few days There are too many people giving birth every day, and I tried my best to help Luo Jue to arrange a single delivery room..."

It turned out that it was because of this... I waved my hand hastily: "What are you talking about, Luo Jue's due date is an emergency, and it is already very good that you can arrange these things, so there is nothing to be sorry about."

Ji Luojue, who was lying on the bed, heard the words and echoed: "Xiao Xiao, don't say that, I am already very grateful for your help in giving birth to my child, you must not..."

Before she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed. At the same time, she held my wrist with her backhand and held it firmly.

I was taken aback, and before I could speak, Xiao Xiao lowered his head and poked his head between her open legs. After a while, he raised his head and said: "The cervix is ​​basically fully opened, you can follow what I said before." Yes, adjust your breathing slowly, hold your breath when the contraction comes, okay?"

Ji Luojue nodded her head indiscriminately, took a break between the contractions, and then straightened her body little by little under Xiao Xiao's instructions.
