Chapter 191 Production
"I'm not afraid, and you don't have to worry either. I'm fine. You know how healthy I am normally."
"I know, I know. You're right."
"Uncle, please go out first." The midwife came in and chased him away.
"You go out and wait." Yun Xi reached out and pushed him.
Mu Sheng moved out, looking back every few steps.
The midwife here began to check Yun Xi's condition.
She was shocked! She was already almost dilated to the 10th finger! Her water hadn't broken yet.
Wait a little longer. If it still hasn’t broken, you can only break the water artificially.
"Ma'am, when I tell you to push harder, you should push harder. Don't be nervous, just do as I say, and it will be fine soon."
Yun Xi nodded.
The amniotic fluid broke.
She was confused for a moment, wondering if she was the one who nodded and pointed it out.
Although the pain is blocked, the feeling of contractions is still there.
Because it didn't hurt, she stayed extra calm. She pushed hard during contractions and rested during breaks, and she quickly got into the mood.
The midwife took some time to pay attention to her mental state.
"!!!"
Why does it feel like she's having a baby for fun? But she's sweating all over, and it's obvious that she's trying hard.
Outside the delivery room, all the masters of the Mu family gathered. The old general and the old lady sat and waited, still patient. Mu Sheng walked back and forth, looking inside from time to time.
"Why is there no sound?"
"Just be quiet for a while. Screaming during childbirth is a waste of energy. Xixi is a smart person. She must be saving her energy so that she can give birth to a child."
I don't know if Mu Sheng listened to me or not. He just kept walking.
General Mu laughed at him: "I was much more stable than him back then."
The old lady glanced at him and said, "He loves his wife, so it's normal for him to be anxious. You are more stable than him, which means you don't value us!"
Old General: "..."
He said in a low voice: "No, why are you coming at me? I was just bragging. You know what I did back then."
The old lady replied in a low voice: "...Is it time for you to brag now?"
Less than an hour had passed when the sound of crying that shook the roof tiles was heard from the delivery room.
The noise was so loud that Yun Xi subconsciously covered her ears.
Fortunately, the midwife was experienced and calm, otherwise Yun Xi was really worried that she would throw the baby out.
The people outside the delivery room looked at each other in confusion for a moment, wondering if the noise was too loud.
They soon realized that the baby had been born. It was so fast!
The old general clapped his hands happily: "The crying sound is loud, and I can tell that he is strong. He will definitely be a good candidate for martial arts in the future!"
The old lady slapped him and said: "It's hard to say what a newborn baby will like in the future. Maybe he will like reading."
Several people gathered at the door of the delivery room and talked, looking up at the room, waiting for the midwife to clean the baby and bring him out to take a look first.
Yun Xi took a look at the little guy first. He didn't look wrinkled at all. He looked very relaxed, but he wasn't white and tender. He was a little red, probably because he was squeezed by the birth canal. He would probably be fine in two days.
There is a layer of fine black hair on his head, sticking to his scalp, making him look a little cute.
He has stopped crying now. His little eyes are half open, his little mouth is pursed, and his little hands are placed beside his head. He looks quite cute.
"Okay, not ugly," she concluded.
The midwife smiled and said, "Madam, I have delivered many babies before, and this little boy is the most handsome."
Yun Xi looked at the child again: "He doesn't seem to be as good-looking as Dingding."
The midwife shook her head and ignored the mother. She held the child and said, "I'll take the child out for you to have a look."
The door of the delivery room creaked open, and Mu Sheng took a step forward, seizing the opportunity. Then he walked around her and went in.
The midwife extended her arm to hold the child, then awkwardly retracted it.
Fortunately, there are still the old general and the old lady.
The old lady took the newborn grandson in her arms. He looked heavy and just as his grandfather had said, he looked very strong.
"Congratulations, Master and Madam, it's a little boy."
"Let me hug you." said the old general.
He carefully took the swaddling clothes, and his whole body froze. How many years had it been since he had held a newborn baby?
When Mu Jinyan was born, he was too weak and spent most of his time lying in bed, so he was rarely held. This one should be held more often.
The old general has already begun to fantasize about his future life as an entertainer of children.
The old lady arranged for rewards to be given to the servants in the courtyard, and also gave the midwife a big red envelope, so that everyone could share in the joy.
Then he snatched the child from the old general and held him in his arms. He said, "It's still a little cold outside, let's go inside first."
When Mu Sheng walked into the delivery room, he thought he would see an extremely weak wife, lying on the bed with a pale face, waiting for him to comfort her. He was so emotional, but what happened? Yun Xi had just packed herself up, and when she saw him coming, she stretched out her hand for him to hold her, "I'm so tired that my whole body is shaking. I overexerted myself."
It seems that there is no problem.
Mu Sheng relaxed immediately, walked over and hugged her tightly. "I was almost worried to death just now, fortunately, you and the child are fine."
"Yeah. I don't want to be here anymore, just carry me back to the room."
"it is good."
Yun Xi returned to the bedroom and the old lady brought the child over.
Yun Xi carefully reached out to take it. She had just said that she had used too much force to fool Mu Sheng, but actually she was fine.
But she was also really nervous because the baby was too soft and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to control the strength well or use the wrong force and might hurt the baby.
Reach one hand under the baby's neck, support the head with the elbow, extend the arm from the baby's neck to the entire back, support his back, and the other hand crosses over the front of the baby, support his little butt and legs with the arm. This is equivalent to letting the baby lie on a "bed" made up of the arms, armpits, and body, which is like a cradle. As long as the mother's arms shake gently and her hands pat his back, the baby can be soothed.
Yun Xi held him in her arms and said to Mu Sheng, "You go out first, I have to feed the baby." If her mother-in-law was not there, it would be fine with her, but since her mother-in-law was there, Mu Sheng could not stay.
Mu Sheng: "...Then call me later."
The old lady shook her head and smiled at Yun Xi: "I didn't know he was so clingy."
Yun Xi also laughed.
Yun Xi didn’t know whether mothers were born with the ability to breastfeed, but breastfeeding was indeed a natural skill for babies.
As soon as Yun Xi held him in her arms, his little head started to nod around, looking for food by himself.
Yun Xi already had the theoretical knowledge on how to breastfeed, and she reviewed it from the learning materials provided by the system a few days ago. Now it was up to her to put it into practice.
Breastfeeding is not difficult, the key is to get the baby's mouth in the right position.
Yun Xi's son opened his little mouth wide and sucked very hard, and soon all the colostrum was sucked out by him.
Yun Xi looked at her son in her arms, who was trying hard to breastfeed and whose forehead was sweating from exhaustion. The words "use all your strength to breastfeed" instantly came to her mind.
Her heart was filled with emotion, and her eyes were misty.
This was a brand new bond between her and the world. Holding the child in her arms, she suddenly felt an unprecedented feeling and suddenly wanted to hum a song, "Since I saw you by the Acacia River, you are like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."
This song suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but hum it. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
Madam Mu looked at her and unknowingly fell into this warm and touching atmosphere.
Yun Xi raised her head and said with a smile: "Mom, I am so happy today."
Madam Mu smiled and patted her head: "Mother has seen it."
Yun Xi got the hang of breastfeeding very quickly.
Except in very rare cases, most mothers can achieve breastfeeding. The more breast milk the baby eats, the more the mother will produce.
For babies under six months old, if they are breastfed and they are not particularly demanding babies, feeding them is very worry-free.
All his energy comes from breast milk, and he doesn't even need to drink water because the water content in breast milk is enough to meet all his needs.
After feeding, hold the baby upright, let him lie on the adult's shoulder, pat his back gently to make him burp, which is equivalent to burping out the air inhaled while feeding. Otherwise, the baby has a shallow stomach and is prone to vomiting milk.
Yun Xi carefully leaned her body back slightly, holding the baby's butt with one hand and his neck with the other, letting him lean on her in a slightly tilted posture. She held her palms hollow and patted him a few times, and the baby burped loudly, making both Yun Xi and Old Madam Mu laugh.
Actually, I don’t know what’s so funny, but I just want to laugh.
It was a joy that came from the heart.
The old lady sat for a while, and seeing that Yun Xi had adapted well to being a mother for the first time, she said, "I'll go out first, and let Mu Sheng come in. He should be waiting outside now."
Yun Xi smiled and nodded: "Let him come in and hold the child."
"Then you have to tell him to be careful. He has never held one before and has no experience."
Seeing Yun Xi looking at her with a little doubt, the old lady added: "When Ah Yan was born, he was still in the border. When he came back, Ah Yan could already crawl."
"Let him hug you more in the future. Yan is still young, so you can hug him more."
The old lady smiled and nodded, then looked at the child again. The little guy was held obediently in Yun Xi's arms. Although he was full and fell asleep, his little mouth was still moving, which was extremely cute.
The old lady left happily.
As soon as she went out, Mu Sheng came in. He had been waiting at the door.
The old lady looked at her eldest son's impatient look and couldn't help but said, "Be more stable. You are already the father of two children."
Mu Sheng laughed and looked so stupid that the old lady couldn't bear to watch. How did her son become like this?
"Mom, how is the child? I haven't seen him yet."
Old lady: "..."
Yes, his son was the first one to rush forward, and then he rushed past, so he really hadn’t seen the child yet.
"Then go in and take a look."
Mu Sheng nodded and walked quickly into the room.
Yun Xi was sitting on the bed with their child in her arms.
Mu Sheng instantly felt a sense of homesickness. He slowed down his pace, walked step by step to the bed, and looked at Yun Xi with gentle eyes and light in them.
Yun Xi looked at him without saying anything, just smiled at him.
Mu Sheng sat down beside the bed and finally turned his eyes to the child in Yun Xi's arms.
He stretched out a finger and gently poked the child's face.
"So soft."
His hands had some calluses on them, which made the baby uncomfortable. The little guy waved his hands to chase him away like a fly while sleeping.
Mu Sheng: “…”
Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mu Sheng also laughed.
"Xixi, thank you for your hard work. The baby is so cute."
"Of course, he's my son."
After Yun Xi finished speaking, she asked Mu Sheng to move the crib to the side of the bed. She gently put the child in the crib. The little guy didn't make a fuss and lay obediently on the bed and continued to sleep.
"Look at him, how well behaved he is." Yun Xi couldn't help but praise.
Mu Sheng just sat there, looking at Yun Xi and then at his son.
"By the way, send someone to tell my father."
"I'll go."
Mu Sheng immediately stood up and walked out. The old general and the old lady hadn't left yet. Seeing him rushing out, they asked, "What's wrong? You came out so soon?"
"I forgot to send someone to tell my father-in-law the good news."
The old lady glanced at him and said, "Wait for you? Then how long do we have to wait? I have already sent someone over, and they should be arriving at the Marquis' Mansion by now."
She added, "Xixi just gave birth, so she must be tired. I have just asked the kitchen to prepare some food, and it will be brought over soon. Let her eat something before going to sleep." The old lady instructed.
At the critical moment, we still have to rely on this old lady.
"Thank you, mother."
"Alright, alright, go back and keep guard."
"Son, resign."
Mu Sheng hurried back.
She tiptoed into the bedroom and whispered, "Mother has sent someone over."
Yun Xi was infected by him and whispered in the same voice: "Don't be so careful, the baby won't pay attention to the outside sounds, just don't be startled, and there will be no problem with normal speech."
Mu Sheng: "...Then why are you speaking so quietly?"
Yun Xi: "...I am being influenced by you!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, Chunyu came in with a tray containing a bowl of chicken noodle soup, which was light and easy to digest.
"Ma'am, please eat something."
Yun Xi nodded.
Mu Sheng reached out to take the bowl of noodles and fed it to Yun Xi bit by bit.
But noodles are really not suitable for feeding!
Yun Xi was getting impatient with eating and said, "Chun Yu, bring a small table and put it on the bed. I will eat by myself."
Mu Sheng: “…”
Is he being disliked?
Chunyu moved quickly and brought the small table. Mu Sheng helped Yunxi move the pillow to make her more comfortable, and sat up straight to eat.
She was really a little hungry. Giving birth is a physically demanding job.
After eating, he rinsed his mouth and was then helped by Mu Sheng to lie down.
"You go to sleep, I'll stay by your side."
"Ah."
Yun Xi replied and closed her eyes.
She was indeed tired and sleepy.
She hadn't slept well since the first contraction in the early morning.
No matter how rich her theoretical knowledge was, this was her first time giving birth. No matter how calm she appeared on the surface, she was still nervous deep down.
As soon as I relaxed, fatigue immediately came over me and I soon fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Sheng sat beside the bed and looked at her and his son who was sleeping in the small bed beside them. The sunlight shone on them through the window glass, giving him a warm and reassuring feeling. At this moment, he felt extremely satisfied.
