The delivery room experience of novice dad

# The moment when the heart beats faster #

I have seen this place in movies, TV plays and books. It is the place where life is born and where mothers go through hardships. It is also a place where novice fathers are at a loss, full of worries and expectations.

At eight o'clock in the morning, I opened my eyes in a daze and saw my wife playing with her mobile phone in her hand. I thought to myself, "Why do you get up so early? Is it because you are so excited on the first day of maternity leave? "

I asked worriedly, "Are there any contractions?"

"At four o' clock in the morning began to hurt. I'm afraid you can't sleep well and dare not call you. "

"…………"

"I sent a WeChat to Dr. Zhang, and I will do a color ultrasound later." My wife also works in obstetrics, and Dr. Zhang happens to be her attending doctor.

I got up quickly, got dressed and took her to the hospital. The bag was just ready to be put in the trunk. Fortunately, the hospital is not far from home, and it takes less than 10 minutes by car.

When I got off the bus, I went to the second floor to have a color Doppler ultrasound, and took the film to Corey to find a doctor to show my wife what it was like.

After the examination, Dr. Zhang said that he had opened two fingers.

Me: "..."

I asked my wife why she didn't tell me. She said that she was like this and didn't want to come here with a little pain. .

I feel a little abnormal and should go to the hospital at once.

Next, the wife went straight into the delivery room. She can't let me in because she hasn't given birth yet. Let me wait outside. Someone will call me when I can come in.

I started my mental journey for more than two hours, from worry to excitement, and finally I was even a little sleepy. Just when I had mixed feelings and was still a little sleepy, someone finally called me in.

The first step is to put on slippers in the delivery room, then put on shoe covers, sterile clothes and sterile caps.

The second step is to enter the delivery room where the wife is located under the guidance of the delivery room nurse. Pay attention to the whole process must be quiet, can't talk, the phone should be silent. Don't look around when passing other delivery rooms. The delivery room is not what I expected. Every parturient has a separate room, and the decoration is quite warm, giving people a very practical and safe feeling.

After I went in, I saw a scene that I should never forget. My wife is lying on the maternity bed with her baby in her arms. At this time, she was sweating all over. Although she had collapsed, her hand holding the child suddenly became firm and powerful. The baby is white and red from head to toe, and the baby's hair is wet as if it had just been washed.

After a while, I slowly took the baby and put it on the bag. My wife came down from the delivery bed and wrapped the baby. We started going out. I put my wife to bed and pushed her directly to the ward. She felt no need to continue running in the corridor of the delivery room. At this time, the delivery room nurse quickly stopped her and said that she had found a wheelchair and pressed her wife on it.

In this way, I pushed the stroller and my wife returned to the ward in a wheelchair.

It's been a year, and now it's like yesterday. I have a bad memory recently, and every moment in this memory is so clear.

I think I can leave such a deep memory, not only because I gave birth to a child, but also because my wife's calm words and tough style shocked me at that time, knocking my heart like a hammer.

So I think whether it's work, taking care of children, or anything else that makes me feel very tired, it's nothing compared with her having children.

What moved me was not the birth of the child, but the pain of my wife this time.
