Chapter 140 Giving birth
Chapter 140 Giving birth
As soon as Shang's mother entered the ward, she knew what the situation was like. Seeing her son-in-law's extreme anxiety, she could only ask him to do more work.
"Mmm~ Honey, I'm hungry." Shang Yanfang looked at her husband's anxious expression, even though she was in pain, and had to endure it.
"Okay, okay. Eat, wife, let me feed you." Shang Yanfang could clearly feel that her husband's hands were trembling.
"Honey, I want to eat some sunflower seeds," Shang Yanfang said, looking at Gao Jianguo who seemed to be getting all excited again.
"Sunflower seeds, sunflower seeds. I'll go buy some." Gao Jianguo got up, looked around but couldn't find any, so he decided to go to the state-run restaurant to buy some for his wife.
He was so nervous that he forgot to think and rushed into the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
"Mom, it hurts~" Shang Yanfang gave up enduring the pain after Gao Jianguo left and looked at her mother with a pained expression.
"Darling, take a deep breath. It won't hurt in a bit." Shang's mother held her daughter's hand, giving Shang Yanfang some strength.
"Huff...Huff...Mom, I need to walk around. The doctor said that will help me give birth faster." With her mother's help, Shang Yanfang walked out of the ward, taking each step with great difficulty in the corridor.
"Darling, don't rush. If it hurts, just stand for a little while." Shang's mother really felt sorry for her little daughter, who was far away from home and was now at the brink of death.
"Wife, Mother. Why did you come out?" Gao Jianguo had gone out for a while, and the cold wind had sobered him up. He knew that if he was too nervous, his wife would be very worried. So when he came back this time, he was like a different person.
"Jianguo, let's go out for a walk, that way the baby will be easier to give birth to." Shang Yanfang was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Mom, put your things back in the ward. I'll walk with Yanfang for a while." Gao Jianguo handed the melon seeds he was carrying to Shang's mother and then helped Shang Yanfang up.
"Okay, you two walk slowly and be careful." Mrs. Shang glanced at the two of them with concern.
"Wife, what should we name our baby?" Gao Jianguo asked, trying to distract his wife from the pain on her face.
"Oh dear! I forgot, didn't we forget to name the babies?" Shang Yanfang had been feeling like she had forgotten something but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Now, hearing Gao Jianguo's words, she finally realized that she had forgotten to name the babies.
"It's alright, it's alright. We can get it now." Gao Jianguo quickly comforted his wife when he saw her getting agitated.
"What should we name them? Gao... Gao... If we have a girl, we'll name her Gao Zixuan or Gao Zihan! If we have a boy, we'll name him Gao Zichen or Gao Zixi!" Shang Yanfang thought for a long time before coming up with four names.
"Zixuan, Zihan, Zichen, Zixi. They sound very nice. No wonder she's my wife," Gao Jianguo said, silently repeating her names a few times in praise.
"Ah~ Jianguo. I really think I'm going into labor this time." Shang Yanfang stood there, not daring to move, afraid that the baby would fall out.
"Doctor, my wife is about to give birth!" Gao Jianguo shouted to the nurses' station, and several nurses and doctors appeared in front of them.
Dr. Wang hadn't planned to go home today because he was busy delivering Shang Yanfang's baby, and he came over at this time as well.
Shang Yanfang stood there. After Dr. Wang examined her, he said, "Jianguo, hurry up and take your wife directly to the operating room."
There was no time to have the nurses bring a gurney, so Gao Jianguo simply carried his wife into the operating room at the end of the corridor.
Shang Yanfang only felt afraid when she lay on the cold operating table. "Wife, don't be afraid. I'll be waiting for you at the door."
"Comrade, please go out." Nurse Xiao He followed in to maintain order.
"Nurse, can I come in and stay with my wife?" Gao Jianguo looked at Nurse Xiao He with a sincere expression.
"We'll ask the pregnant woman if she needs it later," Nurse Xiao He said businesslike as she pushed Gao Jianguo out.
Gao Jianguo saw Dr. Wang change into a sterile surgical gown and walk into the operating room. He didn't go up to talk to him, but instead exchanged a glance with Dr. Wang from a distance.
He saw the determined look in Dr. Wang's eyes, and that put his mind at ease.
The night was very long. Shang's mother and Gao Jianguo sat at the door, waiting without daring to blink.
Inside the operating room, Shang Yanfang was in so much pain that she lost her mind and kept screaming.
"Comrade, keep going, the baby will be out soon. Follow my rhythm, inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale, push now." The doctor responsibly instructed Shang Yanfang on what to do next.
"Ah~"
"Wow wow~ Wow~"
With Shang Yanfang's shout, followed by the wailing of a baby, Shang's mother and Gao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief at the door.
"It's alright, everything will be alright. After the first one comes out, the next one will have an easier delivery." Shang's mother murmured outside, it was unclear whether she was comforting herself or Gao Jianguo.
"Big brother, boy, five pounds three ounces." The nurse glanced at the baby and said to Shang Yanfang.
Shang Yanfang thought to herself: Gao Jianguo is definitely going to be disappointed this time; he won't have two identical little girls to dress up for him.
"Comrade, concentrate, the second one is about to be born." Shang Yanfang's wandering thoughts were successfully pulled back by the nurse.
Shang Yanfang then felt another wave of pain.
"Comrade, relax. We've had experience with this before, it'll be quick." The nurse's words of comfort had no effect.
Pain. All Shang Yanfang felt now was pain. She felt she couldn't hold on any longer; she had almost no strength left.
"Comrade Shang, Comrade Shang. Wake up, the baby will be out soon." Seeing that something was wrong, Dr. Wang quickly called out to Shang Yanfang.
Shang Yanfang used her last remaining shred of consciousness to keep up with the nurse's rhythm.
"Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale." When the second child was born, Shang Yanfang didn't even have the strength to scream.
Shang's mother and Gao Jianguo had been waiting outside for five hours. Upon hearing the second cry of the baby, they stood up excitedly.
My daughter/wife is amazing.
"Hello, are you Shang Yanfang's family member?" Nurse He asked respectfully as she saw Gao Jianguo and Shang's mother standing there.
"Yes, yes. We are Shang Yanfang's family members."
"Here's a consent form for you to sign." Xiao He handed a consent form to Gao Jianguo.
"Sign, sign? What's wrong with my wife?" Gao Jianguo looked at the nurse with red eyes when he saw the words "critical condition" on the medical certificate.
"Comrade, please calm down and don't get agitated. Please sign this so we can rescue Comrade Shang first."
