Duan Yanran now has no strength left at all, with the child inside not coming out, she is truly in agony.
No one can take on the pain of childbirth, nor can it be alleviated by medical technique; it must simply be endured. A mother's greatest strength is knowing the agony and still bringing life into the world.
During pregnancy, she couldn't sleep well, eat well, and had to endure the fetal movement, fearing to walk too much in case of a miscarriage.
There are countless cases of women resulting in stillbirths, too numerous to count.
One could say, Duan Yanran has sacrificed too much, given too much for the child, and now, the child just won't be born.
Duan Yanran's hair is already drenched with sweat; the entire pillow is soaked, and her thin lips are already bitten to blood.
Xi Lan looks on anxiously, seeing that she no longer has strength and is worried about a difficult labor.
