CHAPTER 1037: CHAPTER 1039: HAVING A BABY IS JUST TOO HARD

Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, besides your husband, is there anyone else in your family?"

Yue Niang, lying on the kang, spoke weakly and painfully, "No, there isn’t!"

Alas, the result was just as Xiaoxiao had thought. Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, have you prepared everything for childbirth?"

With no one to serve, she could only help prepare first, so as not to be caught off guard when the midwife arrived.

Yue Niang pointed to a spot on the floor with her finger, her face contorted in pain, "In that big box on the floor."

Xiaoxiao looked over and immediately took out the contents, finding baby clothes, diapers, cotton cloth for childbirth, and menstrual belts, among other things.

Everything was prepared quite thoroughly. After taking them out and placing them on the kang, Xiaoxiao hurried out the door.

"Husband, give me the child, I’ll put them on the kang inside. You go to the kitchen and boil some water, prepare for the childbirth. That sister-in-law has no one around her."

"Oh right, make some food. That sister-in-law needs to eat something, lest she runs out of strength during labor."

Upon hearing the situation, Yang Ming hurriedly handed the child to Xiaoxiao, then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Xiaoxiao entered the house and placed the child on the kang, then quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, your husband went to find the midwife, he should be back soon, don’t worry."

"Sister, I’m scared, I’m afraid the midwife won’t come in time." The sister-in-law lay there, so afraid that she was trembling a little.

"Sister-in-law, don’t be scared. Every childbirth is like this, these contractions will happen several times. This is your first child, isn’t it? The first one won’t come that quickly. Look at me, when I gave birth to my son, it started in the morning and didn’t come out until the evening. You’ll definitely wait until the midwife arrives."

To comfort the sister-in-law’s emotions, Xiaoxiao felt that speaking from experience was more convincing, so she said this.

Sure enough, Yue Niang’s emotions stabilized a bit, considering the other party had given birth before and was more experienced than her.

"Sister-in-law, you just have to bear the pain. Endure and it will pass."

"Yes."

The contractions don’t hurt continuously. Yue Niang gritted her teeth and endured until the second wave of contractions ended.

"Sister, childbirth is really difficult."

"Haha, when the child comes out, seeing their little face, you’ll think it’s all worth it."

Saying this, Xiaoxiao thought to herself that if she could get pregnant, she would be willing to bear the pain to death.

"You’re right, sister. I’m sorry, this is my first time giving birth, so I’m a bit nervous. Having this child wasn’t easy."

"Haha, it’s fine, everyone is like that the first time. When you have your second, it’ll be like nothing at all."

The sister-in-law hadn’t shown any abnormalities from falling to now, just two intermittent contractions. After the contractions, she was like nothing had happened.

This was clearly the normal state of giving birth, and it seemed the carriage hadn’t caused much harm to the sister-in-law.

"My husband is making food for you, eat some in a bit so you’ll have the strength for childbirth."

Just as she was saying this, they heard Yang Ming shouting from outside, "Wife, the food is ready."

"Sister-in-law, the meal is ready, I’ll get it for you right away." Saying this, Xiaoxiao went out and soon returned with a bowl of food.

It seemed this family was doing alright; there was rice and eggs in the kitchen.

Xiaoxiao handed over the bowl, "Sister-in-law, eat quickly while your stomach isn’t hurting. Eat more, because if your stomach starts hurting, you won’t be able to eat even if you want to."
