Chapter 1234: Nervously Awaiting Labor
Lily Turner felt intense pressure; it wasn’t a genuine need to go to the bathroom, but rather the baby inside her was moving down, giving her a strong urge to go.
"Easton! Go call the doctor." Sophia Wood was tightly hugged by Lily Turner, unable to move, so she had to ask Easton Holmes to call the doctor for Lily Turner’s examination.
Glancing at Lily Turner’s pained expression, Easton Holmes immediately turned around and walked out to call the doctor.
"Use this."
After Easton Holmes left, Amelia Linton bent down to pick up the chamber pot placed under the bed for Lily Turner to use, in case of emergencies.
Looking at the sudden appearance of the item, Lily Turner was embarrassed and looked up at Amelia Linton, then glanced at Sophia Wood.
"...Alright."
Though she wasn’t entirely clear on the reasons why the two mothers wouldn’t let her go to the bathroom, she had some understanding of it, and obediently accepted their advice to use the chamber pot.
As Amelia Linton and Sophia Wood had expected, Lily Turner indeed didn’t have a genuine need; after squatting for a long time, she hadn’t released anything.
At this moment, Easton Holmes also brought the doctor in. The doctor, having listened to Easton Holmes describe Lily Turner’s situation, already had an initial assessment.
Lily Turner pulled up her pants and lay flat on the bed as the doctor began the second examination, all the while telling the three family members nearby, "The cervix is already dilated, give her something to eat so she won’t lack strength during childbirth."
The doctor, noticing Lily Turner’s frail figure, was somewhat worried about her ability to exert strength later.
"I’ll go get her something to eat right away."
Easton Holmes replied to the doctor, and then turned his gaze to Lily Turner lying on the bed, looking at her with deep affection, "Honey! What would you like to eat?"
Seeing her nervous face, he reached out to rub her cheek, comforting her anxious mood.
At this moment, Lily Turner didn’t feel hungry at all, especially with the extreme anxiety; she simply had no appetite, "I don’t want to eat anything right now."
She shook her head vigorously at the man standing by the bed, strongly signaling her unwillingness to eat.
"Even if you don’t feel like it, you need to eat a little, otherwise you’ll have no strength during childbirth." The doctor, having finished the examination and seeing Lily Turner’s lack of interest in eating, promptly reminded her before leaving.
Seeing this, Easton Holmes quickly and gently urged: "Come on! We should listen to the doctor, let the moms stay here with you while I go get you something to eat."
With those words, he gently stroked her cheek before turning and hurriedly leaving the labor room.
"Don’t be so nervous, childbirth isn’t as frightening as you think. You need to keep calm and welcome the baby’s arrival." The doctor, quite experienced, had seen many nervous mothers like Lily Turner with their first child and understood the anxiety.
Sophia Wood and Amelia Linton nodded in agreement and approval with the doctor’s words.
Lily Turner’s theoretical knowledge, although not extensive, was sufficient, yet her practical experience was zero. She knew her anxiety was not beneficial and could even negatively impact childbirth.
She knew everything and understood everything, but just couldn’t control her anxiety.
"Thank you, Dr. Hao! I will." Despite her inner tension, she didn’t want the doctor and the two mothers to worry about her.
