Chapter 1249
"Just you wait. When we see him again next year, Sean will definitely look even cooler and more dashing than he
does now!"
At that moment, the cruelty of fate had not yet fully revealed its claws.
Nina's words touched Diana, who surprisingly felt a sense of hope for the future.
"Patient number 54, are you ready? If so, please come for your checkup," a doctor's voice called through the door.
Diana glanced at the number on her slip, and quickly stood up. "I'm coming."
This was the ultrasound examination, and it was crowded today. After a long wait, Diana excitedly rose to her feet.
Supporting her belly with her hands, she made her way toward the examination room as she carefully avoided the
people.
"Is your bladder full? Do you feel like you have to go soon?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes," Diana replied to the doctor as she lay down on the examination table.
"Is this your first pregnancy?"
"No."
"Do you know you're expecting twins?"
"Yes."
Diana and the doctor continued their exchange.
"Doctor, my previous pregnancy was fraternal twins, so do I need to buy new clothes for the children this time?"
This was a discreet way of asking about the gender of the twins.
The doctor glanced at her. "It's up to you."
After coming out of the ultrasound room, Diana muttered to Nina, "What did that mean? Does it mean I'm getting
the same gender as the previous pregnancy, or that the old clothes from my previous pregnancy won’t fit
anymore, but can still be used?"
"You've gone bonkers." Nina rolled her eyes in exasperation." If you want to know, just have Julian take you to the
private hospital for a gender test. And I still don't get it. Why does Julian insist on having you queue up in a public
hospital instead of going to a private one?"
Seeing that Julian's image in Nina's mind was about to deteriorate, Diana hurried to explain.
"Don't think badly of him. I was the one who requested going to a public hospital. Giving birth is a big deal, you
know? You wouldn't understand if you hadn't experienced it. Even though modern medical technology is advanced,
many mothers still don't make it past this stage. For example, from a rare medical emergency-an amniotic fluid
embolism.
"If that happens and the doctor doesn't act quickly, even just a few seconds can make you miss the best window for
rescue, and you could die instantly. Even if that doesn't happen, heavy bleeding can occur during childbirth. I'm
having twins, and it's my second cesarean section. There's more safety assurance in a public hospital..."
"Stop!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNina had never really thought much about giving birth before. She just figured most women have children, and with
modern medical technology being so advanced, what was so difficult about it?
Especially with a C-section. There were even people online saying that you just need to lie there and wait for the
doctor to administer anesthesia. Then, take a nap. Once woken up, the baby would have been born.
It sounded so simple that she thought raising children and going through pregnancy were more challenging than
giving birth.
After hearing Diana's description, she suddenly had a new appreciation for it. Thinking about if her stomach was the
one cut open with blood everywhere made her legs go weak.
The thought that Diana had experienced this pain once before made her even more uncomfortable.
At that time...
She wasn't by Diana's side.
Julian wasn't there, either. Even though Diana had no memory of it at the time and didn't know she had a husband
and a best friend, giving birth alone was definitely not easy.
"It seems that throughout history, regardless of advances in medicine, women giving birth is pretty much like
passing through the gates of the underworld."
