Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming Chapter 186 - 125: A Cute Little Cub Is Born
Gou Ni’s pained screams filled the room until she was too exhausted to make a sound. Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were blurry with tears, unable to speak.
The few Beastn surrounding her were in a frantic panic.
Chi Li was also at a loss. He was more adept at treating Beastn’s internal and external injuries; this was his first ti delivering a baby.
Although he knew the theories passed down by his predecessors, putting them into practice was proving difficult.
"All of you, quiet down! Don’t shout. You’ll only make Gou Ni more agitated."
An Jin looked at the clamoring Beastn, and the group imdiately fell silent. She then walked to the bedside and took Gou Ni’s hand.
Hiding the worry on her face, she said in a calm voice, "Nini, it’s going to be okay. A first birth can be quite painful, but it’s normal. Your life isn’t in danger."
A pregnant woman’s ntal state affects her contractions and the progress of labor. Anxiety, tension, and impatience were very likely to cause a difficult birth.
An Jin needed to calm Gou Ni’s emotions as quickly as possible.
"Ngh..." Gou Ni gritted her teeth and nodded weakly. Her small, round face seed even paler, and beads of sweat soaked her dark hair.
Beside the bed, Hu Che and Hei Xuan were absolutely heartbroken. Their own faces were even paler than the weakened Gou Ni’s.
’I never imagined childbirth would be this difficult. If we had known, we wouldn’t have wanted a cub.’
An Jin turned her head. "Is there any dicine that can lessen the pain?"
"Yes, I should have so herbs in my room, but they’ll take a while to brew." Without another word, Chi Li left.
Hu Che knelt beside her and tried to feed Gou Ni a few sips of goat’s milk, but she barely drank any. Most of it trickled from the corners of her mouth.
Gou Ni rested for a mont, gradually regaining so strength. "It hurts so much—"
Clutching her swollen, aching belly, she started screaming again.
Screaming restlessly during contractions would not only deplete the mother’s energy, but also impede the progress of her labor.
"Nini, bite down on this." An Jin gently stuffed a piece of animal hide into her mouth.
Gou Ni bit down on the hide, and her screams turned into muffled whimpers. Her body trembled faintly.
Although An Jin had never given birth, she knew the pain of childbirth was rated as a level 12 on the dical pain scale—the highest level. One could only imagine the extent of Gou Ni’s suffering.
It was impossible to stop her from crying out—shouting loudly during intense pain is an effective way to alleviate it.
But this ant they had to act fast and help Gou Ni give birth safely as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when she eventually scread herself hoarse and had no energy left, it could very well lead to a difficult delivery.
While Chi Li was away, An Jin had Hu Che and the others leave the room and wait outside to prevent anyone else from entering.
Many won feel a lack of security during childbirth and want their partners present. However, the process is incredibly gory, and the psychological toll is not sothing an ordinary person can bear. Even the most ntally resilient n can be left with so degree of trauma.
Childbirth is also when a woman is at her most vulnerable: her face contorted in pain, bleeding heavily, sotis even losing control of her bowels and bladder.
Gou Ni was clearly not one of those won.
After Hu Che and the others left, her expression visibly relaxed. She turned her tear-filled eyes to An Jin, clutching a belly that felt fit to burst. Her face was still so pale and weak it was heartbreaking.
An Jin remained kneeling by the bed, holding her hand tightly. She kept her own expression relaxed and tried to distract Gou Ni as much as possible with lighthearted chatter.
At the sa ti, she was observing Gou Ni’s condition. There were no signs of major hemorrhaging or her water breaking. It was likely just a difficult birth caused by her cervix being too tight, which was common for a first delivery.
She let out a huge sigh of relief inwardly.
"Try to take deep breaths and gently rub your lower abdon with both hands," An Jin said, helping her with the motions.
Although An Jin wasn’t a professional doctor or an experienced midwife, she had learned basic first-aid skills during her sixteen years of compulsory education in school.
In the 23rd century, where An Jin ca from, the education system was nearly perfect. It no longer focused on lengthy textbook dissertations or armchair theorizing, but instead integrated practical knowledge into the curriculum for everyday life.
Ti crawled by agonizingly. The animal-hide door flap was pushed aside, and Chi Li returned with several pitch-black pills.
An Jin took the pills and fed them to Gou Ni with so warm water that had been prepared in advance.
After she took the dicine, the pain on Gou Ni’s face quickly subsided, and her breathing grew deep and even.
The grip of her cold, sweaty hands on An Jin’s loosened. "Sob... Ah Jin..."
"I’m here. Don’t be afraid."
Beastman midwifery had few techniques; it mostly consisted of telling the female to push hard. With that, Chi Li also withdrew, leaving only An Jin in the room to accompany Gou Ni.
