"Could it be that she doesn't even intend to give birth?"
"No, I checked her birth canal. She is indeed about to give birth, and she's already dilated to five fingers. She should be in a lot of pain..."
"Look at her, does she seem to be in pain?"
"I thought she was just here for fun!"
As the nurses tidied things up, they increasingly felt that Fu Wenwen was no ordinary person.
The woman in the bed next to Fu Wenwen had just gone through a contraction, her body sweating from the pain. Seeing Fu Wenwen's calm demeanor, as if she wasn't in pain, the woman couldn't help but ask.
"Are... are you not in pain?"
"I am!"
Fu Wenwen answered truthfully. She was indeed in pain.
She wasn't a robot, so how could she not be in pain?
"Then why aren't you screaming?" the woman asked, puzzled.
"Why should I scream?" Fu Wenwen retorted.
"Because it hurts?"
The woman felt that Fu Wenwen might have some issues.
"But screaming won't lessen the pain," Fu Wenwen glanced at the woman. Seeing her start another contraction, her face contorting in pain.
"Ah!!!"
"Try taking deep breaths every time you feel pain," Fu Wenwen said calmly to the woman.
"Is it... useful?" The woman's face was pale from the pain, but she wanted to try Fu Wenwen's method.
Fu Wenwen glanced at the woman and said,
"Do it with me! Inhale! Exhale! Hu~xi~hu~"
"Hu~xi~hu~xi~hu~"
The woman stopped screaming and focused on inhaling and exhaling with Fu Wenwen. After two rounds, she genuinely felt that she wasn't in as much pain anymore.
"It really doesn't hurt as much! It's amazing..."
"You are still in pain, but you've shifted your focus. If you don't concentrate on feeling the pain, it naturally won't feel as intense," Fu Wenwen explained.
"Save your energy now, so you can cooperate well with the doctor later and have the strength to give birth. If you just scream now, you'll use up all your strength and suffer later!"
"Okay, okay." The woman obediently listened to Fu Wenwen.
She used deep breaths to relieve the first contraction.
The women in the other beds also noticed this situation.
"Hey, can you teach us too?"
Some of the women spoke up.
Fu Wenwen nodded and repeated what she had just said. Gradually, the delivery room became quieter.
All the women waiting to give birth stopped screaming, and the nurses found it unaccustomed.
"This is the first time our obstetrics ward has been so quiet. It's unsettling."
"But looking at them, what that woman taught them seems to be quite effective!"
"We told them long ago not to scream now, or they'll lose their strength and have trouble giving birth!"
"Now, I think they might actually have smooth deliveries today!"
"Who wouldn't hope for that..."
The nurses continued their work, checking the condition of each expectant mother and how dilated their cervix was...
Outside the delivery room, the waiting family members were becoming anxious.
"Why has it suddenly gone quiet inside?"
"My wife was screaming just now! Why is there no sound now?"
"Nurse, doctor, is something wrong with my wife!"
"Why is it so quiet! Is something wrong..."
The faces of the family members turned pale. Which woman doesn't scream a few times when giving birth...
Now there wasn't a sound from inside...
Many people were alarmed. Some doctors thought something had happened inside and rushed in to check.
After rushing in, they found the delivery room to be peaceful. Everyone was taking deep breaths, and even the nurses were involuntarily taking deep breaths with the patients.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Dr. Sun, you're here!" A nurse, seeing the female doctor of obstetrics, greeted her with a smile.
"It's that comrade Fu who taught them. This way, it can distract from the pain and allow them to conserve their strength for giving birth later," the nurse explained.
"Something like this happened? Is it really effective?" Dr. Sun had never seen anything like this before.
"It's really effective. They're not screaming anymore! The pain is still there, but they seem to be able to endure it now..."
The nurses nodded. They really weren't screaming, and it seemed like it was bearable.
"She's fully dilated, she's going to give birth." A nurse checked the woman next to Fu Wenwen and found that she was already starting to push.
"Quick, bring her in!" Dr. Sun's expression changed. She hadn't expected her to be ready to give birth.
The woman was also a little dazed. How could she be ready to give birth? She thought her cervix was still dilating!
"When you feel the pain, start pushing. Alright, get ready," Dr. Sun instructed the woman.
Two nurses stood by, ready.
The familiar pain struck again, but this time the woman didn't want to scream. She cooperated with deep breaths, then gritted her teeth and pushed.
Ten minutes later.
"It's out, it's out! Keep pushing a little longer! It's coming out soon!" Dr. Sun exclaimed excitedly.
With a final push, the baby was successfully born.
"She's born, she's born! Congratulations, it's a girl!"
The nurse's expression stiffened slightly when she saw it was a girl. She glanced cautiously at the woman.
Nowadays, people clamored for sons, and they had seen too much disappointment.
"That's wonderful! I've finally given birth to a daughter!" The woman smiled when she heard it was a daughter, and exhaled in relief.
Hearing the woman's words, the nurse also relaxed, and continued to clean the baby.
A loud 'smack'.
"Wow!!!!"
The clear cry of a newborn echoed out.
All the family members eagerly gathered at the door as the nurse emerged holding the baby.
"Zhang Cui's family!" the nurse called out.
"Yes!!!" A man quickly responded.
"Congratulations! Your wife gave birth to a daughter, weighing..." the nurse said slowly.
The man excitedly held his daughter, listening to the nurse's instructions.
Upon hearing that their first child was a daughter, many family members' faces soured.
"How could the first one out be a girl? What bad luck!" a mother-in-law grumbled, her face displeased.
"Exactly. Such bad luck. We just wanted a son, why is it so difficult!"
Several mothers-in-law, upon hearing it was a girl, actually got up and left.
Fu Jing's face darkened as he watched the departing mothers-in-law.
"What kind of people are they! What's wrong with a baby girl? Daughters are caring and well-behaved."
When Fu Wenwen was born, he had doted on her endlessly.
Why were these women so unhappy about having a daughter? Honestly.
"Don't be upset, my in-laws. Whether it's a boy or a girl, we'll love it as long as it's Wenwen's baby," Elder Lu said with a smile to Fu Jing.
He didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl. He was already happy to have lived to his age.
Now, to see the birth of a fourth generation, he felt even more complete.
"Yes! We'll love it no matter what!"
The Lu family all felt good about it.
"I prefer daughters even more! Like Wenwen, a little Wenwen would surely be very cute," Luo Siqi said with a smile.
"Right!" Fu Jing's eyes lit up. He also hoped that his daughter would give birth to a granddaughter.
A daughter as well-behaved and cute as Fu Wenwen.
