My stomach was starting to hurt more and more. Soon, I was pushed into the operating room.
I mentioned to Theo before that I did not need him to enter the delivery room. I did not want him to see me looking so hideous, so I asked him to stay outside.
It hurt like I was being cut open with a knife. I was sweating profusely while the doctor instructed me to inhale and exhale vigorously. I chose to give birth naturally because when I did my research earlier, it was said that children who were born naturally would be healthier, but I was regretting it a little now.
I grabbed the bedsheet and tried my best with every push, but the child was so stubborn and refused to come out.
"No, I can't do it anymore..." It felt like I had exhausted my strength. I could not exert any more strength and shook my head with tears in my eyes. "Please cut the child out. I can't do it...”
"Keep going, the baby’s almost out. Come on, you’re the best. Your husband is still outside. Your husband is very handsome, and you’ll have a handsome child like him."
I knew the doctor was encouraging me. For the child’s sake, I tried again. I clenched my teeth and pushed again and again. I really felt like I could not go on anymore.
All of a sudden, I could no longer gather up my energy anymore like a deflated balloon. “I’ve no more strength. I-I can't do it."
"Come on, Madam. I can see a bit of the child's head. Push harder. This is your child."
My child......
It was the child I had been looking forward to for a long time.
Thinking of the fact that I had failed to keep the child from my first birth, it was like my body was filled with electricity again. I must allow my child to see the world this time.
I took a deep breath and tried again.
Every time I inhaled and exhaled with force, the doctors and nurses cheered for me.
"The child’s out! Keep going!"
"Ah!!!"
I cried out, and I knew I must sound miserable.
"Uwaa." I heard the cry of a child. It was my child.
