Chapter 758 Dystocia
She gritted her teeth and held back from humming, but cold sweat fell heavily on her forehead.
Seeing that she was sweating a lot, the midwife said, "Make some brown sugar water quickly. If the mother sweats so much, she will be dehydrated and weak soon."
There were many maids in the house, all of whom were close to Xia Zihan. Except for a few midwives, they were all hers.
As soon as the midwife spoke, Chu Qiao said, "I'll go make some brown sugar water. I'll be back soon."
Chu Qiao and Zhuo went out together.
Everyone in the Zhuo family was talking under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at the bottom of the yard. The maids had set up tables, chairs, and refreshments. A group of people were drinking tea and chatting, which was quite pleasant.
In the room, Xia Zihan was in terrible pain. Her lips were bitten by herself and a lot of blood flowed out.
Chu Jingqi looked distressed, pried open her mouth, stuffed his arm into her mouth, and said, "Ayu, don't bite yourself. The pain will be unbearable, so just bite me. I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it won't hurt if I bite you." It doesn’t hurt.”
Xia Zihan was not willing to bite him. She endured the pain and said intermittently, "Get...get a towel and bite him..."
Without waiting for Chu Jingqi's instructions, Chu Qing on the side quickly brought a clean towel and rolled it into a round shape. Chu Jingqi took it and carefully stuffed it into Xia Zihan's mouth.
After getting over the pain, Silk Grass and Vanilla brought chicken cakes and hard-boiled eggs.
Neither of them wanted to eat boiled eggs, so Si Cao put the tray on the table and brought a bowl of egg custard over. Chu Jingqi took it and said, "I'm not hungry yet, I'll feed you first. You need to save more strength." OK.”
If you divide a bowl of eggs three times and eat only five or six small spoons each time, your stomach will hurt once.
It hurt so much that the corner of her belly felt like it was about to be torn apart. The pain was unbearable. Xia Zihan could only bite the towel and endure it. After enduring the wave of pain, she could take a few more bites.
The bowl of egg custard was almost cold before I finished it.
Chu Jingqi didn't care about eating herself and was busy wiping her sweat.
After the pain subsided, Xia Zihan said to him, "Let Silk Grass take care of me. You go eat egg custard first. You didn't eat much at noon."
Ayu was in such pain that his heart clenched into a ball, and he couldn't eat anymore.
Chu Jingqi only said that she was not hungry and continued to wipe her sweat beads.
Such affectionate warmth and tenderness made the three midwives very moved and envious.
Wow, people outside say that although the Prince of Prince Anjun is a little hero, he is also a little Prince of Hell who kills without blinking an eye. He always wears a cold and icy face all day long. Whoever takes a look, They would be so frightened that they had nightmares all night long, but they had lived in Prince An's Mansion for several months, and every time they saw the prince's tender affection for the princess, his love was as deep as the sea, and he didn't look like a murderous little kid. Lord of Hell?
They have helped deliver babies for a lifetime, and they have met countless men. Some men even heard that their daughter-in-law had given birth to a daughter, and some were divorced on the spot, and some were even more outrageous.
However, a man is not afraid of contaminating the bad luck of the delivery room. He stays in the delivery room and still wants to accompany his wife. Mr. Chu is the first one.
Such a good man was actually rumored to be the Prince of Hell by outsiders. It was really harmful.
Xia Zihan was in pain from noon to evening, but the baby still showed no signs of coming out. The Zhuo family had already gone back to their respective guest houses to rest. Zhuo did not need to accompany them, so she came to the delivery room to accompany Xia Zihan. .
Chu Jingqi fed Xia Zihan chicken soup, and Mrs. Zhuo wiped her sweat. The mother and son took care of her with such care and attention that the midwives saw it and were very envious and said, "This old woman has delivered babies for so many wealthy families." My child, this is the first time I have seen a mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law so much. "Mom, the princess is such a rare good mother-in-law." "We all came here when we were young," Zhuo said with a smile, "We are all women who want to meet a good mother-in-law. I have not met a good mother-in-law." I want to do my best to be nice to my daughters-in-law.”
Not only Ayu, but also the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law in the future, she will treat them as well as her biological daughters.
Mrs. Zhuo thought of what happened a few years ago again and said, "That year, when I gave birth to the second and third children in the Chu family, Ayu took care of me during the confinement period. Now that Ayu has given birth to a child, I, as the mother-in-law, am even more worried. Just take good care of her.”
And during that palace turmoil, if Ayu and the Chu family hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect each other, I'm afraid that neither she nor the second and third children would have survived, and would have died at the hands of the Lu family's dead men.
Ayu was life-saving to her, to Aqi, and to the entire Chu family. She and Aqi were in love with each other. She was Aqi's darling. This precious daughter-in-law would definitely treat her even if she didn't want her life. Okay, protect her.
It wasn't until late in the night that Xia Zihan, who had been struggling all day, heard the midwife say, "It's almost time." What else did she say, "The birth canal is fully opened and the baby will come out soon. Princess, you must gather your strength." If you don’t have enough energy, just drink a few more bowls of chicken soup.”
To drink chicken soup, you have to go to the latrine frequently, but she doesn’t want to drink it.
She was worried that the baby would be born in the toilet.
It's not like this has never happened before. In her previous life, when she was in Caojia Village, she heard the women in the village talk about whose child was born in the toilet and almost drowned in urine.
"I want to eat eggs, give me eggs or snacks." Xia Zihan gasped.
"There are also dumplings and chicken porridge. Let's have some porridge." Chu Jingqi said. When Xia Zihan nodded, she quickly ordered the maid to fill a bowl with the chicken porridge that was warm on the stove, and then put two peeled chicken porridge in it. Here comes the egg.
How could Xia Zihan eat so much? After half a bowl of porridge and an egg white, he couldn't eat anymore.
Chu Jingqi forced herself to drink half a bowl of chicken soup.
After eating some hot food, the body seemed to have some strength again. When the next wave of pain came, Xia Zihan heard the midwife say to use strength, so Xia Zihan used all her strength on the abdomen.
It wasn't until six in the morning that the first child's cry erupted in the delivery room.
The midwife looked down at the child and immediately said with a smile, "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the prince, the prince and princess are a young master."
"Oh, my golden grandson, hurry up, cleanse and dress my grandson, I want to hug my grandson."
Mrs. Zhuo jumped up with joy. She was so carried away that she forgot that Xia Zihan still had another child in her belly. She hurriedly ran over and helped the midwife to wipe her eldest grandson's clothes.
Soon, Xia Zihan's stomach hurt again.
"Hurry, the second child is coming..." Her pretty face was twisted in pain, and her voice was hoarse.
When the midwives heard this, they came over quickly.
I thought that if the first child was born quickly, the second child would also be born quickly. However, Xia Zihan had labor pains five or six times. It was almost eight o'clock, and the baby was still in her belly and would not come out.
