Siaosiao was having a quick labor. As she was pushed into the delivery room, she lay on the birthing bed and saw her hands and feet were restrained. She felt like a lamb to be slaughtered and suddenly began to cry in fear.
If she had known, she would have let Deng Zhiyi come in with her earlier.
"Mrs. Deng, don't cry! You're wasting your energy! You'll need a lot of strength for a natural birth later!"
The doctor's words made Siaosiao stop crying. She sobbed and said, "I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, I will help you!"
The doctor smiled and comforted her, "Come on, let me teach you how to use your strength!"
"When you have a contraction, grip this iron ring with both hands and push down hard. Hold your breath as long as you can, understand?"
Siaosiao tried a few times and finally got the hang of it. The doctor nodded and said, "Good, just like that, use your strength!"
"The cervix is fully dilated!"
