All mothers know that natural childbirth consists of three steps: contractions, dilation of the cervix, and delivering the baby, with the most painful part being the dilation.
The cervix needs to widen from one centimeter to ten centimeters. Generally, the stronger the contractions, the faster it dilates, but the pain endured is also tremendous.
Li Tingyan couldn't share Nianyang's pain, his eyes red with urgency, and he asked impatiently, "Doctor, how much longer? It's been so long already."
The doctor remained calm, "Don't be anxious, it's only six centimeters. The first birth is tough, just hold on a bit longer."
By this point, Nianyang felt as if she were dreaming due to the pain, her mind blurred, unclear about what was happening, shivering instinctively.
Li Tingyan leaned close to her ear, continuously saying comforting words, which gave her some strength, but when the doctor mentioned they were at seven centimeters, Nianyang felt as if someone had extracted her ribs.
