Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1787: About to Give Birth Chapter 1787: About to Give Birth Editor: Henyee Translations “Lord, rest assured.

Madam’s baby is positioned perfectly, and she’s in excellent health.

The delivery will undoubtedly be smooth!” “Indeed, indeed.

Lord, you’re overly concerned.

I’ve delivered countless babies in my lifetime.

Madam’s condition is ideal.

She’ll be just fine.” “…Of course, labor pains are inevitable for every expectant mother.

It’s a small price to pay for the miracle of childbirth.

It’ll pass quickly.” “Madam, this is your first child.

Subsequent deliveries will be easier!” “Yes, yes!” The midwives prattled on, their nonsensical chatter soothing Qiao Xuan’s anxious heart.

Childbirth wasn’t a walk in the park.

Even if she’d never experienced it firsthand, she’d witnessed the trials of labor.

Especially in ancient times, with medical knowledge practically non-existent, childbirth was akin to surrendering to fate, relying solely on luck.

Fear lingered, but it wouldn’t deter her from the inevitable.

Countless women had borne children naturally; she could too.

Shao Yunduan felt a semblance of relief.

He smiled at Qiao Xuan.

“You heard them, my dear?

The midwives are seasoned professionals.

If they assure us that everything will be fine, then it will be… I’ll be waiting eagerly for you and our child!” Although Qiao Xuan felt no abdominal pain, she dared not move, fearing the sensation of amniotic fluid trickling down.

She looked up, smiling at Shao Yunduan as she intertwined her slender fingers with his.

“I understand.

You can leave now…” Giving birth was a vulnerable moment, and she didn’t want him hovering over her every second.

Besides, there was little he could do to assist.

If he could, perhaps they could reconsider.

Shao Yunduan enveloped her in a tender embrace, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead before reluctantly pulling away, his heart pounding with a mix of emotions.

He grasped her hands tightly, unable to tear his gaze away.

His lips trembled, a torrent of feelings flooding his heart: anticipation, excitement, tenderness, nervousness, worry… Countless words clamored for expression, but he struggled to find the right ones.

“I’ll… I’ll be waiting for you!” Qiao Xuan’s smile was reassuring.

“Don’t worry!” “I-I’m not worried!

I’m not!

And you shouldn’t be either…” “Okay!” As they seemed to bid farewell for an uncertain duration, the two midwives sighed inwardly.

Their Lord and Lady undoubtedly shared a strong bond, yet their parting was bittersweet.

“Lord, it’s best you leave now.

Madam needs rest, and it’s still early after her water broke.” “Yes, yes.

Lord, go attend to your duties.

There’s still time.” Shao Yunduan was taken aback.

“Too early?” Confusion clouded his thoughts.

He had anticipated the birth to be imminent.

Qiao Xuan shared his bewilderment.

Despite her water breaking, she felt no contractions.

Wasn’t childbirth supposed to be excruciating?

“Please, go.

I’ll manage.” “I’ll be just outside.

I’m not going anywhere.” “Alright…” After much coaxing, the midwives finally persuaded Shao Yunduan to step out of the delivery room.

Though he remained nearby, his heart remained tethered to Qiao Xuan, waiting anxiously outside the door.
