Chapter 788 Inducing labor
Jia Li’s parents’ death anniversary came and pa.s.sed without her making a trip back to her hometown.
She had to be in good health for her to make that trip.
Jia Li was not in your condition to move about, and these days, it was difficult for her to understand herself.
The back pain was too much to bear, and her Yoga coach couldn’t help much anymore. But she was there to help her get through most of her pains by giving her deep ma.s.sages, and teaching Fu Hua how to relieve her of her back pains at night.
On Jia Li’s delivery date, no connection was felt, but they still went to the hospital for a checkup.
The doctor told examined her and said that everything was alright.
”It looks like your son and daughter are still enjoying themselves in the womb.” The do for said with a smile.
Fu Hua smiled at her joke, but not even a smirk was seen on Jia Li’s face. She didn’t find the news funny.
”Is there anything I can do you get them out as soon as possible just before I lose my mind?” Jia Li asked.
Her question brought Fu Hua and the doctor back to reality. It reminded them of how many struggles she has been pa.s.sing through in the last few weeks.
The doctor quickly composed herself and said, “S*x is a good method.”
Jia Li and Fu Hua stared at the doctor with disinterest, and she noticed what their gazes meant.
It looks like they are not in the condition for that activity.’
Jia Li would have glared at the doctor if she didn’t still have self-respect in the back of her mind. Who was in the mood for that kind of activity?
She had lost interest in it for a long time that she didn’t even remember when last she had s*x or had an o.r.g.a.s.m.
”Alright, s*x is not the only way, there are other methods. Exercise, nipple stimulation, Acupuncture, Acupressure, castor oil, eating dates.”
As the doctor listed the other natural options to induce labor, she explained them one after the other.
Jia Li and Fu Hua were very interested in the Castor oil option and asked me about it. The doctor explained more to them, and they both agreed to use that method.
The doctor called a nurse in and asked her to purchase a particular brand of castor oil for them and even went the extra mile to write the name of the brand down.
When the nurse came back with the castor oil, the doctor explained how Jia Li should take it. She recommended for her to take 1-2 ounces (29.57-59.14 ml) first because the castor oil was very effective and so not too much quant.i.ty of it should be taken.
Castor oil stimulates prostaglandin release, which can help ripen the cervix and get labor started.
”When you take this today, wait and watch. If you see at changes, make sure to give me a call.” The doctor advised.
”So we can go back?” Fu Hua asked.
”Yes, you can.” The doctor said with a smile.
Jia Li and Fu Hua thanked the do for before leaving together.
Getting back home, all Jia Li wanted to do was bathe, eat and sleep. She almost forgot that she still had a little daughter.
After asking about Jasmine and making sure she news fine, she took the castor oil and had her bath, ate, and went to sleep.
That day, there were not many changes, except that she started to experience early signs of labor. When she spoke to the doctor the next day, she asked her not to take the castor oil that day, and that she should continue to keep an eye on the signs she was experiencing.
The following day, it looked like her system had returned to normal, so the doctor came to check her by herself.
After the checkup, she personally measured the quant.i.ty of the castor oil before giving it to her to drink that mining.
That evening, the entire Fu family was restless because of Jia Li, because she was going into labor soon.
The signs of labor was was no longer faint, so they could hear her crying while pacing up and down the house with her hand on her waist.
Finally, the doctor called them in when she felt that her cervix should have dilated enough and ready for labor.
”Bring her in,” She said to Fu Hua over the phone.
Thankfully, the car was ready, and Jia Li’s bag has already been packed by Fu Hee, so everything went smoothly.
When Jasmine saw that her mother who was crying earlier was being taken away, she started to cry as well and hugged her father’s leg.
”Where are you taking mummy to?” The little girl cried while holding unto her father’s leg tightly.
Fu Hua could easily pry off her hands, but he didn’t want to. He was also in a hurry to drive Jia Li to the hospital, but he still had to take it easy with his little girl.
”I’m taking mummy to the hospital, she is about to give birth to your little brother and little sister. Don’t delay me okay?”
”Is that why mummy has been crying?” Jasmine asked with her big round innocent eyes. She was still clutching onto her father’s leg tightly.
”Yes. Don’t you want to see your younger siblings?” Fu Hua asked.
”I want to see them, please take me along?” Jasmine requested.
Then no matter how Fu Hua and the others tried to convince her, she decided to listen, so Fu Hua had no choice but to take her along.
Quickly, Jia Li was taken to the hospital in the company of her husband, daughter, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and Jasmine’s nanny.
Five bodyguards also came along in two different cars.
Throughout the whole journey to the hospital, Jia Li could hardly sit in a place. She lost her composure several times and almost pulled her clothes off her body. But thankfully, Fu Hee and FangSu who were sitting beside her stopped her.
