Li Wei has lived for decades, but this is the first time she is about to become a mother. She was tortured by the labor pains before giving birth, and when the pain was severe, she just grunted a few times. Wait for that period to pass, eat something quickly, or take a rest to gather strength.
Li Wei wasn't feeling well yet, but seeing her like this, Liu Chunzhi couldn't bear it. She held her daughter in pain and wiped her tears: "Wei Wei, just hold on and it will be over."
When Li Wei saw her mother crying, she couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Really, why are you crying when I give birth to a baby?"
"I feel bad for you. If the pain is severe, just grab me and hit me."
How could Li Wei do it? Instead, he comforted his mother: "It's just about giving birth. You have given birth to several children and have more experience than me. How can you still be afraid?"
The nurse was listening to the laughter and the mother was comforting her mother. Such a situation is really rare.
Liu Chunzhi said: "When I gave birth to your eldest brother, I gave birth to you at home, and your grandma took the birth. It took me two days and two nights to give birth. At that time, I would scold your dad whenever it hurt, but he was still just honest. If you are really scolded by me, you won’t dare to express your anger.”
In Daqi, every woman gave birth at home. In addition to being equipped with experienced Wen Po, the Imperial Hospital would also send imperial doctors to guard the women in the palace, which was relatively secure. However, the maternal conditions among the people can be imagined, so giving birth in that era was a very scary thing. When a woman gave birth to a child, she was undoubtedly on the verge of death.
Li Jianbo walked in and asked the nurse about Li Wei's condition: "How long does it look like before he can enter the delivery room?"
The nurse replied: "The labor pain is not very intense, and I don't have three fingers yet."
Li Jianbo came over to encourage Li Wei: "Don't be afraid, I will watch over you after you enter the delivery room."
Li Wei heard that and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, second brother doesn't need to follow. I can do it myself."
Jian Bo smiled and said: "I'm afraid that you will panic and have no one to accompany you. I will give you some comfort in front of you."
"Second brother, there's really no need."
Liu Chunzhi also said: "Why are you following her when she gives birth? There are other mothers there besides her, so it's not appropriate for you to go in as a man."
Jianbo heard about it and had no choice but to give up.
"I have already called Mr. Qiu, and Mr. Qiu said that he will try his best to help contact Zhao Qian. I can't guarantee when he will be back."
"It doesn't matter, I can give birth even if he's not around." Li Wei felt that she was a strong person and had gone through so many ups and downs without knocking her down. Giving birth to a child was nothing.
Li Wei was tormented by prepartum labor pains. After suffering for nearly fourteen hours, she was finally able to enter the delivery room.
There were two women waiting to give birth in the delivery room. One was crying and fussing, shouting: "I won't give birth, I won't give birth."
Her cry was in vain, and even attracted the scolding of the midwife next to her: "Who doesn't feel pain when giving birth? I'm crying and shouting here. Will I still have the strength to give birth after a while? If you want it to go well, just listen to our greetings." ”
Another woman was already on the delivery bed, and the midwife was teaching her how to push.
Li Wei wasn't very scared before she came in, but after she came in, she suddenly felt a little scared inside. At this time, she remembered the time when Concubine Liu gave birth to a child.
At that time, she was already a noble concubine. She was also responsible for the preparations for the birth of a concubine. Liu Concubine did not give birth to the child for three days and three nights. Liu Concubine exhausted all her strength and finally gave birth to a stillborn child. Liu Bin eventually died because of this stillbirth. Liu Bin was just fifteen years old at that time, and she left in such a hurry.
"Li Wei, if you don't feel any pain, just walk around." A nurse was talking to her.
Li Wei gradually came back to her senses. What was she thinking about at this time? The child's loud cry made Li Wei stand up. She listened to the midwife reporting the data: "Two:09 in the morning, boy, seven pounds and three ounces."
The arrival of a new life brought joy to the delivery room, and also shocked Li Wei's heart. It was accompanied by a burst of severe pain. She couldn't straighten her back, so she had to hold on to the handle and breathe heavily, and then she felt She felt a hot flash in her lower body, and she hurriedly shouted: "Doctor, the amniotic water has broken."
Li Wei couldn't remember much of what happened next because of the pain. The midwife helped her onto the delivery bed. The midwife kept teaching her how to breathe and how to exert force in her ear.
She was so tired that she wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while. In a daze, she saw the late emperor, the late empress, and the late Fu Guang. She didn't know who pushed her, and someone squeezed her hand tightly. Say to her in her ear: "I am here to protect you, don't be afraid, you will be fine soon."
The man held her hand tightly, bringing her comfort and encouragement.
"Li Wei, don't sleep, hurry up and use your strength!"
She finally heard the midwife's words and opened her eyes.
"You can already see the hair, try harder!"
Li Wei clenched the handle of the delivery bed, using all her strength.
I don’t know how long it took, but a nurse held the newborn baby in front of her and asked her, “Do you think it’s a boy or a girl?”
"Girl." After Li Wei said this, she closed her eyes.
"My child, you are now a mother." That was Mrs. Fu's voice. Li Wei said in a low voice: "Mom, did you see it too?"
It's a pity that Fu didn't answer her again.
She didn't know how long she slept, but Li Wei finally opened her eyes, and she saw Li Jianbo guarding her bedside.
"Second brother!"
"You finally woke up." Li Jianbo breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Wei looked out the window. The warm sunshine had passed through the window and poured into the room.
The warm winter sunshine made Li Wei feel warm. She looked at the ward and saw her second brother in front of her. She was surprised and said, "Mom, baby, what's wrong with the baby?"
"Mom took the child to take a bath, but she hasn't come back yet. You slept for ten hours, did you know?"
It took so long, she didn't feel it at all.
"She is a very beautiful little girl. Her hair is dark and thick. Her face is not wrinkled at all. Mom said she looks better than you did when you were a child."
"It's a girl!" Li Wei murmured.
"My daughter is also doing well. The child is very healthy and has no birthmarks on her body. If Zhao Qian dislikes her for being a girl, your eldest brother and I will definitely break his legs."
"This is too violent."
Although there was little strength in his body, Li Wei felt relaxed all over after the child came out.
"I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, I will serve you the ready-made porridge." Li Jianbo said and stood up to help Li Wei serve the rice.
Tang Shiyun came to visit Li Wei. As soon as she met, she congratulated Li Wei: "Congratulations on becoming a mother. I want to be your child's godmother."
Li smiled and said, "You can't be a godmother. Chen Yating has already made a reservation."
"Who is Chen Yating?"
"Her best friend."
"She's not here. I'll get the moon first, so I'll be the godmother first."
Li Wei said seriously: "If you can't do it, Fu Jia will call you second aunt in the future."
Tang Shiyun finally understood and blushed slightly.
