People say that carrying twins may lead to an early delivery, and so might even deliver a month in advance.
So, the closer it got to the end, the more anxious Lin Yuan beca.
However, according to Lady Liu, although Lin Yuan often felt the twins moving closer to her lower abdon, and although various signs seed to indicate that she was about to give birth, she had been waiting eagerly for several days without any progress, truly driving her crazy.
Sotis, Lin Yuan even got impatient waiting and specially asked Lao Fan if there was a thod like a cesarean section, but every ti, Lao Fan would scold her with glaring eyes.
There was no way around it; ancient people valued bodily integrity, and unless one was on the brink of death, who would willingly cut open their own belly with a knife?
So, after waiting for several more days, Lin Yuan spent her days either eating or sleeping, enjoying the last bit of couple’s world with Xia Zheng before the delivery.
Finally, half a month before the due date, Lin Yuan went into labor.
That night, the two of them chatted as usual and then went to sleep. Unusually, Lin Yuan, who typically struggled to sleep, slept soundly tonight and didn’t feel any chest tightness or weakness in her back and knees.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yuan was awakened by the urge to urinate and got up to run to the latrine three tis in a row, each ti with little result, leaving her quite frustrated.
Upon the fourth trip, Lin Yuan discovered she was bleeding, and her belly began to tighten and ache.
Bleeding and belly pain were signs of impending labor.
Having done her howork long ago, Lin Yuan was both excited and nervous, but she didn’t panic.
Shui Xian hurried to notify the midwife, while Yin Xing rushed to prepare the delivery items.
"Is it really ti to deliver?"
Xia Zheng carefully helped Lin Yuan back to sit on the bed, not even realizing his voice had beco particularly dry and hoarse.
Perhaps because she was carrying twins, Lin Yuan’s contractions ca unusually fast, with two or three already occurring in just a short while.
"Yes, it’s indeed close."
After that wave of pain passed, Lin Yuan weakly bit her lip and nodded.
No wonder they say won suffer level ten pain during childbirth; it’s truly so!
She had just started and already felt overwheld. If the pain continued, who knows how cruel it would beco!
The midwife arrived quickly, followed by Princess Anle, Tian Hui, and even Xia Yuan and Xia Zhen all rushed over.
Lao Fan was dragged by Xia Hen, arriving still complaining about Xia Hen disturbing his sweet dreams.
Given how he kept smacking his lips, he must have dreamt about so delicious food again.
Xia Zheng was politely ushered out by the midwife. Though extrely reluctant, since Lin Yuan insisted he leave as well, he begrudgingly waited outside the door.
The midwife checked on Lin Yuan and nodded happily, saying, "The young lady is in excellent condition; you’ve dilated to one and a half fingers. Do not worry, Madam; I will take good care of you during the delivery."
"Only one and a half fingers? Why, it’s so little!"
Upon hearing the midwife’s words, Lin Yuan was truly exasperated. She had endured such intense pain, expecting to have dilated to four fingers, yet not even up to two!
The two midwives assisting Lin Yuan were recruited by Xia Zheng from various parts of the Capital city, known for their exceptional skills and reputation.
These two won were veterans, having handled nurous twin births before, making Lin Yuan feel at ease letting them attend her delivery.
The pain grew increasingly severe, and Lin Yuan had little ntal space to think about anything else, only hoping she could smoothly deliver these two little buns.
Previously, watching TV, Lin Yuan often saw scenes of won giving birth, where invariably the mothers scread like they were being butchered.
Yet now, experiencing childbirth herself, Lin Yuan realized that TV had been deceptive!
Won expend so much physical effort during childbirth; if all their energy were spent screaming, how could they possibly have the strength to give birth?
The midwife knowing it was her first pregnancy and twins, dutifully taught her many breathing techniques to conserve energy, which she followed diligently.
The delivery room was bustling, while outside, the tension was palpable.
Xia Zheng stood rigidly at the door, unmoving, with his eyes chanically fixed on the opening and closing of the door, chanically watching as the maids carried out one basin after another of appalling blood water, and brought in clean hot water.
