Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1717: Insisting on Natural Delivery
Everyone watching on the sidelines was filled with emotion, just feeling that giving birth to a child is incredibly difficult.
You’re saying, you’re a Vice President, personally accompanying and staying with your wife, even cheekily letting her pinch you every time she feels pain; is that really okay?
How many women have to give birth without their husbands present because they can’t make it due to work?
This is public affection at its finest.
At this moment, the doctor arrived and asked Di Xiaxia with a smile, "How are you feeling?"
"It feels more frequent than before." Di Xiaxia had just managed to respond when she suddenly frowned from the unexpected pain that made her cry out involuntarily, and she pinched Di Mingzhe hard.
Di Mingzhe almost couldn’t help but cry out due to the sudden pinch but managed to hold it in.
"This is normal," the doctor explained kindly, still smiling, "At this stage, the cervix is opening. Typically, it needs to open from one finger width to three fingers before entering the delivery room. This is the contraction period. Previously, your contractions weren’t regular; now, they’re gradually becoming regular, which is a good sign.
It usually takes four hours to open from one finger to three fingers, and not more than eight hours. I’ll check your cervix periodically according to the time, and once it’s opened to three fingers, you can enter the delivery room."
"Then can she give birth?" Di Mingzhe couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s still early," the doctor smiled, "The cervix needs to open to ten fingers before actual childbirth starts."
Di Mingzhe: "..."
Ten fingers!
The distance of two hands!!!
Sounds terrifying!
Di Xiaxia also felt a bit stunned; ten fingers, sounds quite scary.
Seeing Di Xiaxia’s somewhat pale face, the doctor continued, "This is certainly a very tiring process. As the frequency of contractions increases, the pain will become denser. You’ll only have a little time to catch your breath and calm down. However, your baby’s position is very good, and the baby’s head has smoothly entered the pelvis, so natural birth will be best for both you and the baby."
Upon hearing that it’s best for the baby, Di Xiaxia, despite being terribly scared, nodded, "I understand."
Di Mingzhe felt distressed to death and asked, "Can we perform a C-section now?"
"I don’t recommend a C-section; it’s better to go natural if possible, adhering to the natural birthing process," the doctor replied.
But after saying that, she added, "However, if you insist, Your Excellency..."
"I won’t have a C-section," Di Xiaxia interrupted the doctor firmly, "I’ll give birth myself."
Di Mingzhe looked at her worriedly.
"Very good." The doctor nodded, smiling with satisfaction, "Natural birth has advantages, as there won’t be much pain after delivery; you can get out of bed in a few hours, unlike a C-section where you have to stay in bed for so long, and the trauma from a C-section is quite significant."
It’s definitely significant; first, the abdomen is cut open layer by layer, then the uterus also has to be cut, so it’s essentially like having surgery. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
After the doctor finished speaking, she added, "And besides, natural birth is a natural delivery process, which is very beneficial for the baby."
This is only natural, as generally those who can have a natural birth are encouraged to do so, and a C-section is chosen only when natural birth isn’t possible.
For example, if the baby’s position is wrong, the baby experiences hypoxia, the umbilical cord is around the neck, or in cases like Gu Qibao’s twin pregnancy, C-section is chosen to prevent any mishaps.
Di Xiaxia’s baby’s position is correct, allowing for a smooth delivery, so the doctor definitely strongly advises her to follow the natural course of life with a natural birth.
