Chapter 615 A ​​Tiny Little Group

Despite having made thorough preparations, Gu Lanxi still felt an overwhelming and heartfelt panic when the operation was actually launched.

She groggily got up, intending to get up in the middle of the night, but when she was putting on her pants, she found her stomach tightening in waves.

After a brief moment of relaxation, I had just lain back on the bed when I tightened up again.

She attended the prenatal classes on time and remembered every point very well. Almost instantly, she realized that this was a sign that the baby was about to be born—regular and frequent contractions.

She raised her hand, wanting to wake Lu Nanting immediately, but after taking two deep breaths, she silently got up, took a shower, changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and then walked to the bedside, sat down, and pushed Lu Nanting.

"Get up quickly, our little dumpling is coming."

The voice, though gentle, startled Lu Nanting!

"what?"

Almost instantly, he jumped up, not even bothering to put on his clothes, and went to call for help.

This time, Gu Lanxi didn't hold back and slapped his arm.

"Calm down. Quickly pack your documents and keep them with you no matter what. Don't give them to anyone else to avoid making mistakes in the rush. I'll go call Mom and Dad. I've already arranged everything else. Just bring your hospital bag and come with me when the time comes."

They had been looking forward to this day for a long time and had already rehearsed it countless times in their minds.

Lu Nanting was startled when he heard the news in the middle of the night. After being reminded by her, he quickly got dressed and picked up the bag that was on the bedside table.

"I packed it the day before yesterday and checked it many times. Let's go!"

"Okay, then let's call the hospital."

For first-time mothers, the process from the onset of contractions to full cervical dilation is a long one, and a steady approach is essential.

Gu Lanxi didn't want to have an ugly scar on her stomach, nor did she want to go through a long recovery period. In addition, every prenatal checkup showed that the baby met the conditions for natural childbirth, so she didn't consider a cesarean section.

Another reason is that she has so much wealth, and with the idea that one child would be too lonely and one heir is not secure, she really doesn't want to have only one child. Natural childbirth allows for faster recovery and is more conducive to having a second child.

She had only told Lu Nanting about these things. Lu Nanting wasn't the type to tell everyone everything. The couple arranged everything methodically and soon arrived at the hospital with their people.

The private hospital had excellent facilities, and even though she only planned to stay in the hospital for a few days and then go home to recuperate once she had recovered, they still prepared the best ward for her.

The spacious suite not only has a bed for the new mother, but also two secondary bedrooms for the nanny and family members. In addition, there is a fully equipped kitchen.

As soon as Gu Lanxi arrived at the hospital entrance, a line of medical staff were waiting for her.

This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls later than the Autumn Equinox, and it is already mid-autumn season.

The moon is almost full tonight, and the moonlight is exceptionally bright.

Gu Lanxi appeared calm throughout the journey.

Moonlight streamed through the car window, and all that could be seen were her high, straight nose, slightly drooping eyelashes, and even the corners of her mouth were relaxed, not tense.

Only Lu Nanting, who held her hand tightly, knew just how nervous she was.

She gripped his hand tightly.

When they arrived at their destination, Lu Nanting got out of the car first, put his arm around her shoulder, gently lifted her out of the car, and then turned around and placed her in the wheelchair.

Seeing her look up at him, Lu Nanting bent down and left a comforting kiss on her forehead. He then took off his coat and gently draped it over her legs before grasping the wheelchair armrests and pushing her to follow behind the medical staff.

Upon arrival at the ward, various medical instruments were brought over, and the nurses quickly drew blood, measured her blood pressure, and then performed fetal heart rate monitoring.

The kind-looking female doctor watched from the side the whole time.

After the results came out, I carefully reviewed them and gently asked a bunch of questions: How frequent were your contractions? Had your water broken? Had you had any bloody show? Were the baby's movements normal?
After Gu Lanxi answered all the questions, the doctor understood. He took the medical record from his assistant, reviewed Gu Lanxi's allergy history, medication history, and prenatal checkup results, said a few words such as "the mother's condition is very good," carefully washed his hands at the sink outside the ward, and then smiled and spoke:
"Excuse me, I need to give you an internal examination now."

The doctor's hands were white and small, and he was wearing two layers of gloves, indicating that he was ready.

Gu Lanxi blushed and nodded. A nurse then drew the curtain and politely cleared the area.

Lu Nanting wished he could become a pendant, constantly sticking to Gu Lanxi, but Gu Lanxi didn't want him there and directly asked him to leave as well.

When mothers share their childbirth experiences online, the issue of loss of dignity inevitably comes up. Gu Lanxi knew long ago that she would have to experience it herself sooner or later.

Although everything else is insignificant in the face of life, she still wanted to preserve as much dignity as possible.

"Your cervix has only dilated two fingers, so it's probably going to take a while. You might as well take a nap to conserve your energy and then eat something to replenish your strength."

After the examination, the female doctor took off her gloves and gave her a reassuring smile.

How painful is a cervical examination? Gu Lanxi felt she had never experienced such pain in her life.

She barely managed to tear a hole in the sheet with her hands under the thin blanket, swallowing back the painful cry that rose in her throat. After a long while, she weakly replied, "Thank you."

As soon as the doctor pulled back the curtain, Lu Nanting rushed in, his brows slightly furrowed, and grabbed her hand.

"how do you feel?"

"It's still early. Right now, my stomach just feels tight from time to time. It's nothing," Gu Lanxi said, trying to calm herself down and giving a gentle smile. "The bed is wide. You can sleep with me for a while. Aunt Wang will cook dinner later, and you can eat some with me."

Fearing that he was under too much pressure, Gu Lanxi added, "I'm a little scared. Please stay with me and don't leave, okay? After Tuantuan is born, I'll definitely be weak for a long time, and you'll have to take care of the baby. You should get some sleep, otherwise you won't have the strength to hold the baby, and I'll just be lying here worrying."

My in-laws are here, along with the postpartum nanny we hired in advance, and Aunt Wang and Aunt Xiao, who have taken care of babies before, are also here. So, he probably won't have much time to actually help out.

But Gu Lanxi had the ability to lie through her teeth, and Lu Nanting accepted this explanation as a matter of course. He felt that his wife needed to recover, so he had to stand up straight and take good care of the child to avoid making her feel uneasy.

He immediately agreed, obediently lay down beside her, and gently patted her to lull her to sleep.

The two slept soundly, with medical staff coming to check on them frequently. When dawn broke, they got up, washed, and ate a nutritious breakfast. Gu Lanxi lay in bed listening to Lu Nanting read to her for a while. At 10:30, when they checked her cervix again, it had dilated to four centimeters.

The doctor acted decisively and immediately sent her to the delivery room.

Lu Nanting also changed his clothes and disinfected himself before following her inside. Gu Lanxi initially didn't want him to see her in such a disheveled state, but he said he wanted to be by her side during the most painful time of her life and welcome the arrival of their child together. After hesitating for a few days, Gu Lanxi finally agreed.

In order not to interfere with the delivery, Lu Nanting not only underwent a physical examination, but also went through several training sessions. He cherished the opportunity to accompany his wife during childbirth, as it was hard-won.

As it turns out, adequate preparation really does help with childbirth.

Gu Lanxi remained calm throughout, and Lu Nanting had a good grasp of the rhythm, holding her hand the whole time and directing her to exert force at the right time. Throughout the process, he showered her with encouragement and praise, which even made the medical staff smile like doting aunts. Gu Lanxi felt full of energy after hearing this and cooperated very well throughout.

She was in good health, and the baby's weight was well controlled. She gave birth to the baby in less than an hour.

"It's a little princess, weighing six pounds and eight ounces."

The moment their child was born, upon hearing her loud cry, the young couple spontaneously burst into tears.

The midwife showed the baby to the couple and asked them to confirm the baby's gender.

The newborn baby was a little red monkey, and it was hard to tell who it resembled, but both parents couldn't bear to blink.

The midwife took the baby to be cleaned. Lu Nanting followed without letting go of Gu Lanxi's hand. He just craned his neck to look at her for a couple of moments, then turned around, hugged Gu Lanxi, and kissed her hand.

After hearing the doctor's birth time, Gu Lanxi did some quick calculations and concluded that the child's five elements were in harmony, his aura was balanced, his virtues were in accord with heaven and earth, and his destiny was one of auspiciousness and prosperity. She immediately beamed with joy.

But she was so exhausted that she felt weak. After drinking a couple of sips of water, she felt her consciousness becoming a little blurry. She said, "Brother Ting, you watch the child. I'm going to sleep for a little while," and then closed her eyes.

When Lu Nanting saw her close her eyes, he immediately became nervous!

The two-hour postpartum observation period is because this is a high-risk period for severe bleeding and shock!
The doctor was checking if the placenta was intact. Seeing him like this, she glanced at the equipment and smiled helplessly.

"She's just tired and has fallen asleep, Dad, please don't disturb her for now."

Lu Nanting immediately shut up.

Then began a busy phase of checking on the kids, then my wife, then the medical equipment.

Fortunately, the midwife brought the clean baby over shortly afterward.

The child, wearing a soft little hat, was stripped naked and placed on Gu Lanxi's chest.

Early skin-to-skin contact is an extremely important and highly recommended "golden first step" in modern obstetric care.

The couple had both studied the relevant knowledge carefully and knew that the mother's body temperature was helpful in stabilizing the baby's body temperature, and that hearing a familiar heartbeat could give the baby a sense of security. In addition, timely breastfeeding could improve the baby's immunity and promote uterine contractions in the mother, reducing bleeding.

So they both cooperated very well.

The moment the baby softly lay on her, Gu Lanxi opened her eyes.

In an instant, a smile bloomed on her face.

She raised her hand, which wasn't connected to the equipment, gently supported the child's bottom, and then stroked her slightly undulating back from bottom to top, her voice gentler than ever before:
"I will keep this moment in my heart, and for the rest of my life, no matter what happens, I will be able to forgive the whole world."

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh, kissed her forehead again, and whispered to her, "Me too."

At this moment, all emotions such as vying for favor and anxiety vanished.

He had only one thought.

The two people in front of him were the most important people in his life.

The continuation of life, before this, was just a few ordinary words, but at this moment, it weighs as heavily as a thousand pounds.

He used to love Gu Lanxi to the core, but from then on, his love gained an extra layer of depth.

"This is truly a huge project, requiring a massive investment. There's no certainty about how many more rounds of investment will be needed, and as for the returns, we dare not even imagine them..."

When Gu Lanxi suddenly said that, Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh.

His deep, magnetic, and gentle voice rang out as he held Gu Lanxi close, gently poking the child's back through the thin blanket.
"Little Tuantuan, did you hear that? To prevent your mom from losing too much money, never start a business again!"

Doctors are professionals; they won't laugh out loud unless they absolutely can't hold it in.

But at that moment, all the medical staff couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Aren't you two ever considering going on that comedy show or something? You two are really, really hilarious!"

Once they put on their idol image, the two immediately shut up.

Emotional and romantic people and rational and pragmatic people often cannot agree on their values; they can only convince themselves or the other person to compromise.

For example, I might spend time doing things that seem worthless to Juan Wang, but that make me feel very happy.

We sometimes argue about this.

He thought I was too lazy.

What's so special about picking up leaves? What's so interesting about flowers? What's so special about birds flying by? Don't they fly by every day?
Knitting a sweater takes so long, but buying one doesn't cost that much...

I tried to convince him that leaves fall every year, flowers bloom every year, and birds fly every day, but what you see each time is different.

I can buy countless sweaters, but a sweater I knit myself gives me a deep sense of happiness when I wear it.

Just like there are many delicious foods outside, Er Mao will tell you that he prefers to eat at home, because no matter how delicious the food outside is, it doesn't have his mother's love.

I tried to make him realize the value of emotions and feelings, but he is more used to measuring them in terms of efficiency and benefits.

I couldn't really explain it, so I straddled him, pinched his face, and asked him, "You know that saying those things will upset me, but you still said them. Is it because in your heart, whether I'm happy or not doesn't matter? Even if I'm upset and want to beat you up, you still insist on saying those things? Do you think your reasoning is more important than any of that?"
He said yes, everyone has principles they need to uphold.

I said, "So that means you're not that good at making choices either."

We are all stubborn fools; we should seek common ground while respecting differences.

He said yes.
