The legendary level 10 labor pain, Cheng Su finally experienced it. The force of uterine contractions felt like it could rival a hydraulic jack, and she already felt she had reached her limit.
Seeing Cheng Su tremble in pain, Qi Taiguo felt deeply upset, wishing he could take the pain for her. He extended his arm, already bruised from Cheng Suâs squeezes, and said, "Why donât you bite this instead? It might hurt less!"
Cheng Su shot him a look, and as another intense contraction hit, she couldnât care less and directly bit Qi Taiguoâs arm, hard, as if trying to transfer her pain to him.
Oh god, it hurts so much!
Never having another child, absolutely not!
Clutching her stomach, she bit his arm hard, tears seeping out, and when the wave of pain passed, she tasted a hint of blood in her mouth.
It turned out she had bitten Qi Taiguoâs arm until it bled.
Qi Taiguoâs hand went numb, but he didnât feel any pain at all, he just asked, "Does it feel any better?"
Cheng Suâs strength waned a bit, and red-eyed, she said, "I donât want to give birth anymore. Should I have a C-section? I canât take it!"
This isnât something a person can endure; she didnât want a natural birth anymore. Damn, it was too painful.
Before Qi Taiguo could speak, Mother Cheng scolded: "Donât talk nonsense, natural birth is best for the baby and also good for the mother. If you have a C-section, it will greatly harm your vitality. No way!"
"Mom, Iâm in so much pain!" Cheng Su cried out.
"Is there any childbirth that doesnât involve pain? Just bear with it a little longer, the doctor hasnât said you canât deliver naturally!" Mother Cheng said calmly, "Iâve already asked for a smooth delivery talisman for you, itâll ensure a smooth process. Donât worry!"
Pfft!
If itâs so smooth, why hasnât she given birth yet?
"Why donât you hold on a little more? If you really canât endure it, weâll opt for a C-section," Qi Taiguo suggested.
Cheng Su could only nod.
Hualing said, "You usually exercise a lot, so it should go better. Typically, the first birth causes more than eight hours of pain. Once the cervix is fully open, it will be fine." She looked at the time and said, "Itâs only seven oâclock now, got quite a while to go!"
What, after all this pain, itâs only seven?
Cheng Su almost cursed out loud. Before she could curse, another round of level 10 labor pain hit her, leaving her unable to speak. Forget it, better save some strength!
Time passed by slowly, and Cheng Suâs cervix was opening slowly. With no other options, they administered oxytocin to strengthen contractions.
Cheng Su was already in unbearable pain, and the drip of oxytocin felt like slicing flesh with knives and swords, the pain reached its utmost peak.
This must be what they mean by worse than death.
Looking at Qi Taiguo and the others, Cheng Su, seeing stars, exclaimed, "Iâm not having this baby, just let me die!"
Mother Cheng slapped her hand and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about, shut up, and save some strength for when you give birth!"
Qi Taiguo, full of heartache, said, "Listen to Mom!"
Hualing quietly chuckled to herself at the side. Having gone through such extreme pain herself, she might have made fun of Cheng Su otherwise.
Usually, Cheng Su is so fiery and capable, yet when it comes to childbirth, she has to admit defeat.
She sighed, being a mother is not easy. The ten months of pregnancy is the easy part; the real hardship is during contraction pains in childbirth.
Just when Cheng Su was about to give up and nearly passed out from the pain, she said, "I canât take it anymore, take me for a C-section, I canât do this!"
The doctor came to check and announced, "Youâre at eight centimeters, you can go to the delivery room now."
Hearing this, Cheng Su was so relieved she almost knelt down to bow to the doctor; finally, she could go to the delivery room.
