For the next period of time, Wu Yuan stayed in Beijing to accompany his mother during her pregnancy.

However, although he was there to accompany her during the pregnancy, there was actually no real need for him to do anything. Liu Xiaoli and the professional pregnancy team she hired were fully capable of taking care of Liu Yifei 24 hours a day.

The most important role of Wu Yuan staying by her side is to provide emotional value.

After all, pregnant women's emotions are always changeable, and no matter how strong a woman is, she hopes that her husband can be caring and attentive and stay by her side when she is pregnant.

As Liu Yifei's belly grew bigger day by day, he became more cautious day by day.

In this way, Wu Yuan spent a very painful but precious and rare time.

Soon, the season came to the hot summer.

Liu Yifei became pregnant between late October and early November last year, and her due date is around July 7th, which is actually a very normal situation.

It is said that pregnancy takes ten months, but in reality, very few babies are born after ten months of pregnancy.

The average pregnancy period is about 280 days, or 40 weeks.

按照月份来计算，40周大约等于9个月零10天（因为计算是以28天为一个月，而不是30天）。

But for most pregnant women, the pregnancy period is slightly less than 40 weeks. Generally, they can give birth at any time after 37 weeks.

As time passed to mid-July, when Liu Yifei was 37 weeks pregnant, Wu Yuan became more careful. Even though there was a professional family doctor at home to observe and care for her around the clock, Wu Yuan did not dare to sleep too deeply at night, for fear that his wife's water would break in the middle of the night.

Just like that, Wu Yuan spent another week in fear in this tense state. On the afternoon of July 7, Liu Yifei was admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Union Hospital, ready to give birth at any time.

"Why are you so nervous?" Lying in the VIP ward, Liu Yifei took the peeled apple handed to her by Wu Yuan with a relaxed look on her face. She did not feel the slightest bit nervous about giving birth. She even had time to point out the layout of the VIP ward.

"Is this the VIP room that only important people can stay in?"

"I don't think it's as mysterious and luxurious as what they wear online."

Wu Yuan tidied up the quilt for Liu Yifei with a frown on his face, and said helplessly: "This is a public hospital, not a private hospital. Even if it is a VIP single room, it will definitely not be luxurious."

"It's mainly for privacy and the convenience of having someone stay with you in bed."

After saying that, he pointed to the empty bed next to him.

It is called a single room, but in fact it has two beds, one for the pregnant woman about to give birth, and the other for the accompanying family member.

Obviously this family member is Wu Yuan.

He has already prepared to stay and eat in the hospital for the next few days. After all, it is a big event for his wife to give birth, and he has waited for more than nine months, so these last one or two days don't matter.

"How is it? Do you feel it starting?" Wu Yuan's expression showed worry and a hint of anticipation.

I am afraid that my wife will feel pain during childbirth, but I am also afraid that the birth will never start. This kind of emotional torture is really painful.

"I don't feel anything." Liu Yifei was careless and didn't take it seriously at all. She reached out and gently stroked her belly, saying unhappily, "My belly is so big. If I have stretch marks after giving birth, it will definitely be ugly."

In fact, her belly is not really big, at least not among pregnant women. It can even be said to be "small and cute". But no matter how small it is, she is still pregnant with a full-term baby. For an artist and actor, it is definitely not something she is used to and a little worrying to have such a big belly.

"Don't worry, I have hired a professional postpartum care and recovery team, and I guarantee that there will not be any stretch marks left." At this time, Wu Yuan patted his chest and made the assurance.

"I hope so." Liu Yifei didn't quite believe in this stuff. There is nothing 100% absolute in the world.

However, in order to have a baby, she could still accept this "negative impact". In this way, Wu Yuan held his wife's hand and chatted with her to relieve her stress until late at night, when Liu Yifei was sleeping soundly, and he fell asleep in the bed next to her.

But he didn't sleep for long. Before six o'clock in the morning, Wu Yuan was awakened by a scream.

"Hurry, I feel the pain, call the doctor!"

Before he could come back to his senses, Wu Yuan subconsciously pressed the pager on the bedside after hearing this.

In less than a minute, five or six doctors in white coats entered the ward and examined Liu Yifei.

A 40-something female doctor wearing glasses asked Liu Yifei how she felt and then carefully examined her condition before saying to Wu Yuan, "The prelude to childbirth has begun. You can prepare the delivery room."

"Are we going into the delivery room now?" Wu Yuan was a little at a loss.

The doctor shook his head: "This is just the prelude of labor pains. Generally speaking, it will last for 6-12 hours. After the cervix is ​​2 fingers dilated, you will be pushed into the delivery room to start the birth."

If it is a caesarean section, then you can consider entering the delivery room and start preparing.

But as a female star, Liu Yifei would definitely prefer natural childbirth, so she needs to wait for her cervix to open naturally before she can enter the delivery room and start giving birth.

For the next few hours, she had to endure waves of contractions every 3-5 minutes.

After understanding the situation, Wu Yuan held Liu Yifei's hand with a distressed look on his face, looked at her furrowed brows, and comforted her silently.

At this time, Liu Yifei finally felt the reality of "giving birth to a baby". Fortunately, the prelude pain was not very painful and she could still bear it, but her mood took a sharp turn for the worse and she began to mutter and curse Wu Yuan.

"If I had known giving birth would be so painful, I wouldn't have given birth!"

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be feeling so bad!"

"I will never have children again!"

"Why can't you just give me a quick death? It's really uncomfortable to have to do it in waves like this!"

The doctors standing by have long been accustomed to this. Almost every pregnant woman will scold her husband during the delivery stage. They always need an outlet for their emotions.

Just like that, waves of more intense contractions began to come, and Liu Yifei was no longer as relaxed as she was yesterday.

After enduring the pain and eating lunch at noon, she began to feel numb and painful no longer able to bear it in the afternoon, and the doctors' examinations came more and more frequently.

Finally, at a little after two o'clock in the afternoon, the cervix was dilated to two fingers, and Liu Yifei was pushed into the delivery room and began formal delivery.

Wu Yuan and Liu Xiaoli were also pacing anxiously back and forth outside the delivery room where the red light was on.

"Don't worry, Mom. Everything will be fine."

"Well, Xixi is in good health and will definitely give birth smoothly."

The two of them comforted each other, while at the same time staring nervously at the door of the delivery room and the lit operating light.

One hour. Two hours. Three hours.
Just as the two were getting more and more anxious and sitting there like pins and needles, the red light in the delivery room finally turned green, and a nurse in green surgical gown pushed open the door and walked out.

"Congratulations, both mother and daughter are healthy, and it's a lovely girl!" (End of this chapter)
