Chapter 11: Getting to the Delivery Room Was Already a Major Incident
Finally, will I be able to meet my baby...!?😂
Last time, my water broke in the middle of the night.
At that moment, the spell of "absolute bed rest" that had lasted for seven months was finally broken.
"I'm finally free!"
...or so I thought, but it was only for a moment.
Now, I was restricted in a different way.
"Wait, why!?😱"
To move to the delivery room, I got out of bed for the first time in a while and into a wheelchair.
However, because I had barely used my legs for seven months,
I couldn't stand. I couldn't walk.
My legs didn't feel like my own.
Moreover, as soon as the absolute bed rest was lifted, the nurses just watched without offering a hand.
"What!? Does the treatment change that much!?"
I'm in an emergency situation right now, I thought, while somehow managing to move into the wheelchair.
Just when I thought I had finally reached the delivery room,
it was time for a weight check.
Then, suddenly, they said one thing.
"Aren't you a bit overweight?"
......What.
The hospital is the one that kept me bedridden, right?😂
And the hospital was the one serving me calorie-counted meals.
......Well, certainly.
I was eating snacks and late-night meals.
Not secretly,
but quite openly.😂
Because I was bored.
Just as I wanted to make that excuse,
Zoon......
"Oh...... is this labor!?"
It was intense.
It hurts.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!
"What!? I have to endure this pain for hours!?😱"
No way, no way, no way!!
Someone, please give me anesthesia!!
Then the reply was,
"You're a mother now!"
......That one sentence ended it.
(No, aren't those two separate issues?😂)
I struggled with that excruciating pain for hours, and the clock reached around 9:00 AM.
Then, the usual nursing students gathered.
"Shall I rub your lower back?"
"Shall I wipe your face?"
"Where does it hurt?"
Everyone was trying their best to rub my back or stroke my body.
I was truly grateful for their kindness.
But......
Right now, just being touched hurts.😱
I made the best smile I could while my face twitched and said,
"Thank you......
I'm okay for now, so please take a break."
Immediately after saying that,
I would fall asleep as if I had fainted for about five minutes,
and then wake up again from the labor pains.
It was a cycle of that.
