Chapter 317 For the sake of my child, I must have a natural birth.
Thinking of this, Tan Zhengchu quickly got up, picked up the maternity bag that had been prepared, and instructed the maid, "Quickly, get everything ready, we're going to the hospital right away!" He then carefully helped Su Yingxue out of bed and helped her change into clean clothes.
Su Yingxue's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. Tan Zhengchu felt heartbroken and gently patted her back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be alright."
The maid followed behind carrying the maternity bag, and Tan Zhengchu carefully picked up Su Yingxue and strode towards the door.
The car was already waiting at the door. Tan Zhengchu carried Su Yingxue into the car, and the driver quickly started the vehicle and sped towards Li's private hospital.
Li's Hospital is a top-tier medical institution under the Tan family. Su Yingxue had her checkups here throughout her pregnancy, and it's also where she gave birth. As soon as the car arrived at the hospital entrance, doctors and nurses were already waiting, clearly indicating that the Tan family had notified the hospital in advance.
Tan Zhengchu carried Su Yingxue out of the car and carefully placed her on a stretcher. The nurse quickly covered Su Yingxue with a blanket and pushed her towards the emergency room. Tan Zhengchu followed closely behind, his expression tense and his eyes full of worry.
Su Yingxue was pushed into the examination room, while Tan Zhengchu was stopped outside. He stood at the door, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes filled with anxiety, glancing frequently towards the examination room.
Just then, Tan Zhengmo rushed downstairs. He was Tan Zhengchu's younger brother, and upon hearing the news that his sister-in-law was about to give birth, he immediately came to check on her. Seeing Tan Zhengchu standing at the door, looking anxious, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, Mom has also given birth, it's a little brother, everyone is fine."
Upon hearing the news that his mother was safe, Tan Zhengchu's expression softened slightly, and he nodded gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Momo."
Tan Zhengmo smiled and said, "Brother, don't be too nervous. Your wife will be fine."
Just then, the examination room door opened, and Su Yingxue was wheeled out. Her face was pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she looked pained. Tan Zhengchu immediately rushed forward, anxiously grabbing the doctor's hand: "Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "Ms. Su is already two centimeters dilated, but she doesn't need to go to the delivery room yet. Go back to your ward and rest. We'll talk about it when the contractions become more frequent."
Tan Zhengchu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was still worried: "Doctor, can we do a C-section directly? That would be safer."
Su Yingxue held his hand tightly, her voice weak but firm: "I want to have a natural birth, the baby will be healthier."
Tan Zhengchu looked at her with heartache, his eyes full of worry: "Yingxue, are you sure?"
Su Yingxue nodded and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, trust me."
Tan Zhengchu was silent for a while, but ultimately respected her choice: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The ward was warm and quiet, fully equipped with an ultrasound machine, delivery bed, and various monitoring instruments. Su Yingxue was placed on the bed, and the nurse connected her to a fetal heart monitor. Soon, the sound of her baby's strong heartbeat filled the ward.
Su Yingxue leaned against the hospital bed, her body slightly curled up, a trace of pain on her face, but her eyes were full of determination. Tan Zhengchu sat by the bed, gently holding her hand, his eyes tender yet firm: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Zhengchu, I'm fine, it just hurts a little."
Tan Zhengchu gently kissed her forehead: "I know you're the bravest. After the baby is born, I'll take you to eat your favorite hot pot."
Su Yingxue nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
A tense atmosphere filled the ward. Su Yingxue lay on the bed, her body trembling slightly from the pain. She bit her lip, trying hard to hold back her tears, but they still streamed down her face. The doctor stood by the bed, carefully observing the data on the fetal heart monitor, his expression serious.
"Ms. Su, your cervix is not fully dilated yet, and it will take some time before you can give birth." The doctor turned around, her tone gentle but firm. "The most important thing now is to conserve your energy. I suggest you eat something."
Tan Zhengchu held Su Yingxue's hand tightly. Upon hearing the doctor's words, he immediately stood up and said to the maid guarding the door, "Go and get some porridge, steamed egg custard, and her favorite dessert."
The maid quickly brought in the food and carefully placed it on the bedside table. Tan Zhengchu asked softly, "Yingxue, what would you like to eat?"
Su Yingxue lay on her side, the fetal heart monitor wrapped around her belly, making her look particularly heavy. She shook her head, her voice weak but firm: "I can't eat, Zhengchu, I'm in so much pain..."
Tan Zhengchu's heart clenched painfully. He gently kissed the back of her hand, his eyes filled with heartache: "I know, just bear with it, it will be alright soon."
Seeing Su Yingxue's pained expression, he was filled with self-blame and regret: "It's all my fault, making you suffer so much..."
Su Yingxue's pain suddenly intensified, and she couldn't help but cry out, tears instantly welling up in her eyes: "Zhengchu, it hurts so much..."
Tan Zhengchu felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He gently kissed her forehead and eyes, his voice low: "How about... we listen to the doctor and have a C-section? That way you won't have to suffer like this."
Upon hearing the words "cesarean section," Su Yingxue's tears flowed even more fiercely. She cried and accused, "Did you want me to give up on natural childbirth all along? Did you think my insistence on natural childbirth was making things difficult for you?"
Tan Zhengchu was startled by her words and quickly half-huddled her in his arms, gently comforting her, "No, Yingxue, I just feel sorry for you..."
Su Yingxue cried even harder: "I insisted on a natural birth for the sake of the child and to avoid scarring. I've persevered this far, and now you want me to give up?"
Tan Zhengchu looked at her, her face streaked with tears, and felt utterly helpless. He said softly, "Okay, I won't mention it anymore. I just didn't want you to suffer like this..."
He held her tightly, but found that he was completely unable to share even the slightest bit of her pain.
Leaning against Tan Zhengchu's chest, inhaling his familiar scent, Su Yingxue gradually regained her confidence. She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and whispered, "Zhengchu, I'm fine. I can manage."
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, her forehead beaded with sweat, and her body was soaked through. After her water broke, she could only lie in bed and couldn't move, but even so, she continued to persevere.
"I must have a natural birth, for the sake of my child and for my own sake." Su Yingxue silently encouraged herself, a resolute glint in her eyes.
Tan Zhengchu looked at her, his eyes filled with heartache and admiration. He gently held her hand and whispered, "Yingxue, you are the strongest. I will always be with you."
In the ward, time seemed to drag on endlessly, but Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue relied on and supported each other through this difficult ordeal.
