Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Fang Dayong was very surprised to hear this:

"Such a coincidence?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled bitterly:

"There's still one week until the due date, I didn't expect I'd give birth at this time."

After his surprise, Fang Dayong hurriedly comforted her:

"Then you focus on the delivery; I'll handle the company's listing ceremony."

Then he added with a smile:

"Director Du, this is a good thing! For you, it's double happiness! Under your management, our company has gone public remarkably smoothly! I believe your child, raised by you, will also be delivered very smoothly!"

Du Xiaojuan smiled and said: "I'll take your auspicious words; hope so!"

Immediately after, Du Xiaojuan explained a few matters about the listing ceremony to Fang Dayong.

These were all things Du Xiaojuan herself was supposed to complete; now she could only have Fang Dayong do them in her place.

She spoke for over an hour, front to back, and finally got everything explained clearly.

When Du Xiaojuan hung up the phone.

At this moment the doctor came over to examine her dilation.

"Already four centimeters! How come you've been acting like nothing's wrong, not making a sound? Your dilation is way too fast — others take three or four hours to reach four centimeters. Do you still want the epidural?"

After examining her, the doctor was very surprised.

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan was also somewhat surprised.

She had just been focused on explaining the company listing matters to Fang Dayong and hadn't paid attention to her own body; she didn't expect to reach four centimeters this fast.

But although it was unexpected, it was also perfectly reasonable.

She shifted her attention, so her pelvic floor muscles relaxed.

Once the muscles relaxed, dilation naturally sped up.

Many pregnant mothers dilate slowly, especially first-time mothers, precisely because they're too nervous; when nervous, muscles contract uncontrollably.

Contracted muscles naturally make dilation difficult.

Only by relaxing can dilation proceed quickly.

This is also why the delivering doctors keep telling pregnant mothers to relax.

"Still get the epidural; labor will likely still be quite painful later. Since the epidural can spare that suffering, let's not endure hardship needlessly."

"Sure, sure, just wait a moment; I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Before long, a nurse brought over a booklet — the risk disclosure form for the epidural — for Du Xiaojuan to sign.

After Du Xiaojuan signed, she had Wang Dashan sign as well.

After Wang Dashan signed, he asked Du Xiaojuan one question:

"Should we tell our parents that you're about to give birth?"

Du Xiaojuan replied:

"No need to tell my parents; as for your parents, wait a few days until I've recovered a bit before telling them. If they come now they can't help with anything, and it would just add to your workload."

Du Xiaojuan thought of something, then added:

"Right, the Angel Doctor service includes a confinement nanny. Go to the service group in the Angel App and tell them we're delivering, then have them send a confinement nanny over tomorrow morning!"

During Du Xiaojuan's delivery, she endured tremendous pain yet showed not the slightest emotional outburst; on the contrary, she managed to arrange everything perfectly!

The doctors and nurses watching were all very surprised, and very impressed.

Because they'd seen too many delivering mothers lose their tempers and scream irrationally during labor.

Not that doing so is wrong — in fact, that's the normal reaction.

Reaching ten centimeters is the most painful moment in any woman's life!

No one can truly endure that kind of pain; everyone just grits their teeth and bears it.

So going crazy is normal; screaming is normal.

Not going crazy, not screaming — that's what's extraordinary.

Perhaps this is where Du Xiaojuan differs from ordinary women.

She's truly very strong.

Even without Wang Dashan by her side, she herself can arrange everything very well.

So her success is by no means coincidence, not luck, but an inevitable result.

The doctor brought the equipment and medicine for the epidural.

The epidural differs from ordinary anesthesia; ordinary anesthesia is one shot and done, while the epidural requires a machine for continuous infusion.

After the epidural was administered, a good while later Du Xiaojuan's pain eased considerably.

Only then did she notice the cold sweat beading on her forehead.

At this point a doctor came over to check Du Xiaojuan's dilation.

After the epidural, dilation actually slowed.

Over an hour had passed now, and she was only at six centimeters.

That's because after the epidural, Du Xiaojuan couldn't feel her pelvic floor muscles well and couldn't effectively relax them.

Then a doula came to assist Du Xiaojuan with the delivery.

The doula brought a yoga ball over, had Du Xiaojuan sit on it, then helped Du Xiaojuan regulate her breathing, massaged her waist and abdomen, taught Du Xiaojuan exertion techniques, and verbally encouraged Du Xiaojuan.

This doula wasn't free; she charged by the hour, over two thousand per hour.

Du Xiaojuan had arranged it in advance.

Anyway, for her, anything money could solve, she solved with money.

Prepared for any contingency.

Under the doula's guidance, Du Xiaojuan adjusted her condition well, and her dilation progressed faster too.

Around 3:30 AM, she finally dilated to ten centimeters.

"Doctor, I feel like I want to take a shit!"

Du Xiaojuan told the doctor her sensation.

The doctor said:

"That's right then; just exert force as if you're taking a shit — you're about to give birth!"

The doctor brought various medical tools over and began delivering Du Xiaojuan's baby.

Had Du Xiaojuan lift her legs high, placing them in the two stirrups on the bed frame.

Then had Du Xiaojuan follow the breathing and exert force.

"Inhale! Push! Then exhale! Right, just like that, inhale! Hold it and push, then exhale!"

The doctor and nurses were busy delivering the baby.

Wang Dashan held Du Xiaojuan's hand at the side, unable to help with anything.

Could only encourage from the side:

"Wife, hang in there, the baby should be born very soon!"

Du Xiaojuan said at this moment:

"Why don't you go outside and avoid it for a bit!"

Du Xiaojuan had read online that many men, after witnessing their wives give birth — especially seeing the bloody baby squeezed out from down there — completely lost sexual interest in their wives afterward.

To avoid postpartum sexual disharmony, Du Xiaojuan directly told Wang Dashan to avoid it.

Because she knew sex was also an indispensable important component of marriage.

Wang Dashan was immediately stunned, his face full of surprise:

"Wife, what's wrong with you?"

Du Xiaojuan explained:

"I'm afraid you'll see the baby come out and suffer psychological discomfort!"

Wang Dashan said:

"No way, you're my wife, how could I have psychological discomfort?"

Du Xiaojuan said: "You've never watched another woman give birth, so how do you know you can withstand that kind of sensory stimulation? Listen to me, hurry up and go out and stay away!"

Seeing Du Xiaojuan's tone so determined, though reluctant, Wang Dashan could only compromise.

He came to the delivery room door, wondering if the birth process really would make one uncomfortable.

He couldn't help his curiosity, opened the door crack and looked inside.

Just then the baby was coming out, a whole bloody thing squeezed out from inside.

That scene, simply too horrible to bear watching!

Like a blood-covered soccer ball, insisting on squeezing out through an egg-sized opening.

Wang Dashan instantly felt a wave of intense discomfort surge up!

Then he hurriedly shut the door!
