Chapter 85
On this day, Xiaoju was sitting on a stool with her head down washing clothes when she suddenly felt a stomachache.She thought she was hunched over washing clothes and was suffocating the baby in her belly, so she put down the half-washed clothes and slowly moved to the bed and lay down.
After lying down and resting for a while, the pain in my stomach did not get better. Instead, I started to feel hard. Could this be the legendary contractions?Is she about to give birth?But there’s still half a month until the due date!
At this moment, Xiaoju felt a warm liquid flowing out from her lower body. She quickly lowered her head and saw: blood!
Xiaoju was so frightened that she screamed: "Mom! Mom! My stomach hurts, and there's bleeding down there!"
After Xiao Qiang's mother heard the sound, she rushed to Xiao Ju's room. When she saw the blood on the sheets, she shouted, "Oh, this is red! Xiao Ju, are you going to give birth?"
"Mom, call 120 quickly and let's go to the hospital." Xiaoju ordered urgently.
"Okay!" Xiao Qiang's mother picked up the phone and dialed 120.
Xiaoju frowned and endured the pain and called Xiao Qiang: "Brother Qiang, come back quickly. I have a severe stomachache. I'm afraid I'm going to give birth!"
"Xiao Ju, don't worry. You and mom go to the hospital first. I won't be able to make it back in a while. I have a big job and I am on my way to Hebei." Xiao Qiang comforted hurriedly on the phone.
"Okay, then drive carefully." Xiao Ju said and hung up the phone.
"Oh, what did you call Qiangzi? Don't you know he's driving a car now? What if something happens to you if you get distracted?" Xiao Qiang's mother packed the things she wanted to take to the hospital. Seeing Xiao Ju complaining unhappily after calling Xiao Qiang.
While waiting for the ambulance, Xiao Qiang's mother and Xiao Ju quickly packed the maternity package in the room.
"The car is here!" Xiao Qiang's mother supported Xiao Ju with one hand and carried the delivery bag with the other, and the two of them walked out of the door side by side.
Because the contractions were so painful, Xiaoju was carried into the ambulance.After arriving at the hospital, Xiaoju, with the help of the doctor, was pushed into the delivery room through the emergency tunnel.
After Xiao Qiang's mother completed the hospitalization procedures, she came to the delivery room and waited anxiously.
Xiao Qiang's mother sat on the stool and looked at the other family members of the mother in the corridor. In almost every family, there was a group of people waiting outside the delivery room, but Xiao Ju was the only family member here.Xiao Qiang's mother felt a little lonely, and she disliked Xiao Ju's parents' family even more from the bottom of her heart.
"Who are the family members of the mother, Xu Xiaoju?" After a while, the nurse came out of the delivery room and stood outside the door and shouted loudly.
"Nurse, I am." After hearing this, Xiao Qiang's mother rushed to the nurse and replied.
"Are you alone?" the nurse asked after looking around.
"It's just me, nurse, is Xiaoju okay?" Xiao Qiang's mother asked timidly.
"Who are you, can you make the decision?" the nurse asked.
"I'm her mother-in-law, what happened?" Xiao Qiang's mother asked anxiously.
"If the mother has dystocia, I'm afraid she'll have to undergo a cesarean section. Can you sign the operation sheet?" The nurse said and handed a stack of sheets to Xiao Qiang's mother.
Xiao Qiang's mother tremblingly took the surgical drape, glanced at it, and asked hesitantly: "Nurse, can I not sign this? Is it better to give birth naturally? It's good for the child."
"But if you force a natural delivery, the mother may be in danger." The nurse explained.
"How much does a caesarean section cost?" Xiao Qiang's mother asked.
"It's hard to say. It depends on the situation. It will definitely cost more than a normal delivery." The nurse replied.
Xiao Qiang's mother hesitated for a moment and said simply: "Nurse, I'd better not sign this word yet. You can try your best to help her have a natural birth."
The nurse glanced at Xiao Qiang's mother and replied helplessly: "Okay, I'll tell the director." After saying that, the nurse turned and returned to the delivery room.
Xiao Qiang's mother called Xiao Qiang: "Qiangzi, the doctor said that Xiaoju may have dystocia and will need a cesarean section. I will discuss with you whether you want to sign this."
"How could dystocia occur?" Xiao Qiang asked worriedly.
"Why do you think it's difficult to give birth? It's because you didn't exercise enough in the third trimester. You still think I'm bullying your wife when I ask her to work more. Now, it's okay. She brought it on herself and deserves it!" Xiao Qiang Mom scolded angrily.
"Okay, Mom, what's the point of talking about it now that it's over? You just listen to the doctor and sign it when he asks you to."
"But, son, a caesarean section costs a lot of money!" Xiao Qiang's mother felt a little worried about the money.
"Mom, I'm busy driving right now, so I won't talk to you for now." After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Who is Xu Xiaoju's family member?" Another nurse came out of the delivery room.
"I am." Xiao Qiang's mother agreed hastily.
"The mother has suffered heavy bleeding and urgently needs a caesarean section. Can you sign it quickly? If you delay any longer, I'm afraid both adults and children will be in danger." The nurse said and handed a stack of surgical drapes to Xiao Qiang's mother.
"You mean my grandson will be in danger?" Xiao Qiang's mother asked in horror.
"You'd better sign it quickly?" the nurse urged.
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Qiang's mother picked up the pen, signed it quickly and handed it to the nurse.
After a while, a loud cry of a baby appeared in the delivery room.
"Give birth! Give birth!" Xiao Qiang's mother said excitedly.
The family members of other pregnant women also gathered around the door of the delivery room, and everyone was guessing whose child this cry could be.
After a while, the nurse came out and shouted: "Xu Xiaoju's family members?"
Xiao Qiang's mother hurriedly came over and asked eagerly: "Nurse, what happened to Xiao Ju?"
"Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe." The nurse replied with a smile.
"What? You said you gave birth to a girl?! It's impossible, isn't it? Nurse, did you hold me wrong? I see that the belly is clearly a boy!" Xiao Qiang's mother looked in disbelief.
"Look at what you said. Xu Xiaoju is the only one who has given birth. How could we make a mistake? Besides, no matter how many times we give birth, we will not make a mistake. Please don't doubt our professional ability. Please prepare yourself." Come on, the mother and baby will be pushed out in a moment!" After the nurse said this, she turned around and went in.
Xiao Qiang's mother stood there blankly, saying nothing. "How could it be a girl's movie?! Where is my big fat grandson?" Xiao Qiang's mother looked a little dazed. She composed herself, then slowly raised her head and stared blankly at the door of the delivery room.
After a while, she suddenly burst into tears.Xiao Qiang's mother's cry immediately attracted everyone's attention.At this time, a nurse came over and said sternly: "This family member, please go out and cry, don't affect other people."
Xiao Qiang's mother didn't say anything. She turned around silently and staggered out while crying.
After a while, Xiaoju and the newborn baby were pushed out of the delivery room.
"Where are Xu Xiaoju's family members?" The nurse stood outside the door of the delivery room and shouted several times.
At this time, a family member of another mother in the corridor replied: "There was an old lady who walked out crying just now. She should be a family member of the mother, right?"
"Where are your other family members?" The nurse lowered her head and asked Xiaoju who was lying on the hospital bed.
"My husband is busy with work and hasn't come back yet, and there's no one from my parents' house either." Xiaoju replied weakly.
"Forget it, forget it, let's take her back to the ward first. We have to pick up the next mother later!" Another nurse urged from the side.
After Xiaoju and the baby returned to the ward and lay down, the weak Xiaoju lowered her head and looked at her daughter who was waiting for feeding in her arms. She was at a loss and could only shed tears silently.
Seeing Xiao Ju's helpless scene, other family members of pregnant women in the same ward came over to greet her with concern and did whatever they could to help.
Xiao Ju picked up her cell phone and called Xiao Qiang in tears: "Brother Qiang, when will you come over? I heard that your mother left in tears. Now we are the only ones in the hospital, and there is no one around to take care of her."
"Xiao Ju, please wait patiently. I'm on my way back to BJ." Xiao Qiang comforted, "My mother has gone home."
"Go home? How can she go home at this time! Brother Qiang. Doesn't she know that my child and I need someone to take care of us now?" Xiao Ju asked, crying loudly.
"Maybe my mother thinks he's not a grandson. Well, don't cry. I'll be there in a minute." After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Xiao Ju to respond.
Xiaoju could no longer control her emotions and began to cry loudly.As she cried, her daughter in her arms started to cry loudly too, and their cries immediately echoed throughout the ward.
At this time, the aunt in the next bed hurriedly came over to comfort her and said, "Don't cry yet. We have just given birth to a baby. It will be bad for our eyes if we cry anymore."
"Yes, stop crying, otherwise when you are in confinement, you will shed tears when your eyes are exposed to the wind. Girl, don't think too much, everything will pass." Another mother's family also advised.
"Yes, confinement syndrome is not a good look." The aunt in the next bed agreed.
After hearing this, Xiaoju slowly stopped crying and sobbed quietly.
"Sister, do you have any other relatives or friends in BJ? You can ask them to come and take care of you for a while." One of the expectant mothers came up with an idea.
After thinking for a while, Xiaoju silently picked up the phone and dialed Yuqing's number. She choked and said: "Yuqing, I'm in the 101 hospital now. I just gave birth to a baby, but now there's no one around me." , would it be convenient for you to come over and take care of me?"
Yuqing was busy working. After hearing Xiaoju's request for help, she stood up and comforted her: "Xiaoju, don't worry, I'll rush over right away!"
After Yuqing finished speaking, she took a leave of absence and rushed to the hospital immediately.
On the way to the hospital, Yuqing called Guan Lu and Siyi respectively to inform them of Xiaoju's situation.After hearing the news, the three sisters rushed to the hospital from all directions at the same time.
"Xiaoju!" Yuqing was the first to rush to the hospital, she shouted breathlessly.
"Yuqing!" Xiaoju raised her head slightly and replied with a choked voice.
"What's going on? Where's Xiao Qiang? Where's the baby's grandma? Where have they gone? Why don't they take care of you in the hospital when it's such a big deal for you to give birth?" Yu Qing looked at Xiao Ju who was lying weak and embarrassed on the hospital bed and asked angrily. road.
"Brother Qiang took a long journey and is on his way back to Beijing now. My mother-in-law heard that I gave birth to a daughter and ran home in anger." Xiaoju said with choked sobs.
"Then your parents didn't come to have a BJ?" Yuqing asked doubtfully.
"My mother said Xiaohua was having a blind date at home and she couldn't leave." Xiaoju muttered softly.
Yuqing let out a long sigh. She didn't know how to comfort Xiaoju.Logically speaking, it would be inappropriate for her mother to not come to such a big event for her daughter to give birth.But what Xiao Qiang's family did was even more infuriating.
Yuqing looked at the helpless Xiaoju lying on the hospital bed and the infant baby beside her, and suddenly felt heart-wrenching pain in her heart.
"What do I need to do now?" Yuqing lay next to Xiaoju and asked softly.
"Yuqing, can you help me see if the baby needs a diaper change? I see she has been crying." Xiaoju said weakly.
"Okay, let me take a look." Yuqing looked at the baby who had been moved to the cradle. She was such a handsome girl who looked like Xiaoju.But the newborn baby was so small that Yuqing didn't know where to pick it up and was a little at a loss.
At this time, the aunt in the next bed came over and taught Yuqing step by step how to change the baby's diaper.
"Oh, no wonder the baby keeps crying. It turns out he has poop." The aunt on the next bed quickly helped the baby wash the baby's buttocks and put on a diaper.
"Auntie, thank you so much! But why is the baby's daddy green?" Yuqing asked curiously.
"Well, it's meconium. It will gradually turn into a normal color after a few more passes." The aunt explained patiently.
At this moment, Guan Lu and Siyi also rushed to the ward.
"Yeah! Xiaoju's infusion bottle has started to bubble." Out of professional sensitivity, Guan Lu saw this scene as soon as she came in, so she hurried out to find the nurse.
Siyi stepped forward and put the fruit she brought on the bedside table. She looked at Xiaoju with distress and asked softly: "Do you feel the wound still hurts now? I heard Yuqing said you had a caesarean section?"
"Well, it hurts quite a bit, but compared to the wound, I feel more pain in my heart right now." Xiaoju replied with tears in her eyes.
"Xiao Ju, don't be too sad. Aren't there still three of us good sisters? We will always be by your side to take care of you. Don't worry." Siyi gently persuaded Xiao Ju in her ear.
Xiaoju choked and nodded: "Thankfully you are here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
"This Xiao Qiang is such an idiot. How could he be absent from such a big event as his wife giving birth to a child? Isn't the child his?" Guan Lu cursed angrily.
"Lulu, don't scold him here for now. Xiaoju will cry again soon. When Xiao Qiang comes, let's scold him again." Yu Qing walked to Guan Lu and reminded her in a low voice.
"Are you all Xiaoju's friends?" the aunt in the next bed asked.
"Auntie, the four of us are high school classmates." Siyi replied softly.
"That's great! Please help her. This child is so pitiful. Alas...this mother has such a big heart." The aunt in the next bed said helplessly, shaking her head.
At this moment, Xiao Qiang rushed over panting.
"You also know that Xiaoju is going to have a baby today? Are you qualified to be a husband?" Guan Lu cursed when she saw Xiao Qiang.
"Xiao Qiang, you've gone too far! Come over and apologize to Xiaoju." Yuqing said angrily.
"Don't bully Xiao Ju's family. Let me tell you, Xiao Ju's BJ and our three sisters are here!" Siyi also complained to Xiao Qiang in an angry tone.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Actually, you really can't blame me for this. Xiao Ju's due date is half a month early. You said I can't stay home for half a month without working and stay with Xiao Ju? We have to eat, right? Isn't that right?" Xiao Qiang explained as he came to Xiao Ju.
He looked at the weak Xiaoju, his eyes full of apology, and then turned to look gently at the child who was now sleeping peacefully.
After a while, Xiao Qiang seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to Xiao Ju and his three best friends and said, "Thank you! Thank you so much. Why don't you three go back? I'm here!"
Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "Lulu, Siyi, how about you two go back to work first? I'll just stay and take care of Xiaoju."
"I'll stay too. I'm also a nurse, so I can help here." Guan Lu said.
"I'll go back in the evening. I've taken leave today anyway." Siyi didn't want to leave either.
Xiaoju was moved to tears when she saw her sisters being so kind to her.
