birth to their first baby
Marco is currently staying faithfully by Letta’s side, who appears to be exhausted. However, at this moment, his wife can close her eyes. The doctor has stated that Letta can give birth naturally, but the timing cannot be estimated yet, and it depends on the frequency of the pain Letta feels to achieve complete dilation.
Letta furrows her brow again as she feels a cramp in her stomach, prompting Marco to grasp her hand once more. Letta opens her eyes, looking very weary.
“Is it hurting again?” Marco asks, causing Letta to nod her head. Her lips appear dry and pale.
“Yes, it’s very painful,” Letta replies, and seconds later, Marco can feel Letta’s grip tightening on his hand, as she continues to try and endure the pain in her abdomen. Marco then looks towards the nurse with a seemingly normal expression.
“Nurse, do something for my wife. She’s in pain,” Marco says, causing the nurse to nod while gently stroking Letta’s back.
“Will this method alone reduce my wife’s pain?” Marco asks again, who has been getting frustrated with the nurses attending to Letta.
“Sir, this is what a nurse is supposed to do. We cannot diminish the pain or anything of that sort, as it’s a natural process for your baby to be born. So, the lady has to endure it,” the nurse says, making Marco only rub his face roughly. Marco then looks back at Letta, who has become calm once more.
“Does the pain come like this often? Are you tired?” Marco asks, making Letta nod her head.
“I have read that the process of natural childbirth is like this, and I hope I can endure it,” Letta says with a faint smile, prompting Marco to shake his head immediately.
“How can you endure it? Look, your body looks so frail, and your face is pale like this,” Marco says before he can finish his sentence. Letta grips his hand tightly again as the pain returns. Marco seems unable to see Letta in such a condition, until he finally looks at the nurse.
“Quickly, call the doctor in charge of my wife,” Marco says again, prompting the nurse to hurry and call the doctor.
“Do something, anything, to alleviate this pain. I want our baby to be born quickly,” Marco says, making the doctor look at Letta.
“There’s only one way, through a surgical procedure, but it’s regrettable if your wife can give birth naturally,” the doctor says again, making Marco look at him with a worried expression.
“But I can’t bear to see my wife in pain like this. Wouldn’t it be better for you to act swiftly by delivering the baby inside her?” Marco says again, until the doctor walks over to Letta.
“Do you want to undergo the surgery? This is the sixth dilation, you just need to wait for a few more, and I believe, considering the frequency of the pain you’re experiencing, it won’t be long now,” the doctor says, making Letta shake her head.
“Iam still strong enough to endure it, doctor. It’s okay,” Letta replies, but Marco certainly doesn’t agree with her answer.
“But I disagree, Letta. I don’t want to see you continue to suffer like this. It’s better for us to go for the surgery,” Marco says, but before Letta can respond, the doctor intervenes.
“Sir, there are certain processes that cannot simply be bypassed by a woman, namely the process of giving birth, the process of being married to a man who will be her partner for life, and the process of giving birth to a child, feeling the pain of fighting for her own flesh and blood, fighting for a life in return for her own. Those are crucial moments that cannot be repeated anytime and only happen once when the child is born. It is a precious moment that a woman would not want to waste. Perhaps as a man, you cannot bear to see your wife in pain, but it is a significant process for your wife. So, you just need to accompany her calmly and provide encouragement that everything will be alright and your baby will be born safely. Moreover, your wife looks very strong. She just needs support from her husband. And
” I hope you can also feel at ease. Everything will be okay,” the doctor says, leaving Marco speechless.
“What’s the difference with the surgery then? I just don’t want Letta to endure the pain for any longer,” Marco says.
“There’s nothing wrong with a surgery. Having a surgery doesn’t mean they won’t be a perfect mother. It’s just that, for some people, enjoying the process of enduring the pain for each dilation would make them feel more satisfied. I’m not saying that surgery is not good, but it would be better if your wife can deliver naturally if she’s strong enough. That would be better,” the doctor says, making Marco look at Letta, who nods in agreement.
“I can endure it. I want this baby to be born through my struggle of enduring this pain for hours. I will let you know if I can’t handle it, and you can decide with the doctor to go for the surgery. But for now, I can endure the pain. Do you trust me, don’t you?” Letta says, causing Marco to exhale deeply and nod his head.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Alright, I’m here. I will always be with you. I will accompany this significant process for us, waiting for the birth of our child,” Marco says, making Letta smile faintly as she furrows her brow again, feeling the increasing pain. Marco counts every second, every minute, and every hour that passes by faster. It has been almost 4 hours since he arrived at the hospital with Letta, who continues to endure the pain. Sometimes Letta lies on her side, sometimes she asks to walk around the room.
“Do you want to walk?” Marco asks, making Letta nod her head. Marco then helps Letta to sit up and slowly get off the bed. Marco guides Letta’s hand, then stops when he realizes how much pain Letta is feeling. Marco can only hug Letta while gently stroking her back.
“Everything will be okay,” and that’s the phrase that Marco always says, as if it’s the encouragement and medicine he can give to his wife.
“Imagine, soon we will see our future child born into this world. Can you still endure the pain?” Marco asks to make sure, causing Letta to try to control her breathing, then nod her head.
“Yes, for our child, I am still strong,” Letta says, returning Marco’s embrace. Marco feels the strong grip on his back as Letta endures the pain, then it eases as the cramping returns. This is the process that has been going on for several hours, until the doctor returns to check on Letta’s condition.
“Quickly, prepare the delivery tools,” the doctor says, prompting the nurses to rush and prepare the delivery tools, leaving Marco silent.
“Can I accompany my wife to stay here?” Marco asks, making the doctor nod.
“Yes, your presence by your wife’s side is very meaningful. So, you can accompany her,” the doctor says, as Marco continues to hold Letta’s hand, which she continues to grip tightly. The pain that hasn’t stopped even now has made Letta truly unable to hold back, as the doctor tries to open her legs, attempting to carry out the process of delivering their first child naturally. Marco can only continue to kiss Letta’s forehead while holding her hand, as Letta tries to give birth to their first baby.
