Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

It's said that childbirth is a level-10 pain experience.

"It hurts, but it'll be over once the baby is born," Audrey said, trying her best to comfort her.

"Maybe we should go with a C-section," Zhan Yin suggested, distressed by how much pain Haitong was in. His heart ached every time she said it hurt.

He wished he could bear the pain in her place.

"No C-section. The doctor said everything is normal, and I'm fit for a natural birth."

Haitong didn't want surgery-recovery from a C-section was slower and more taxing on the body.

She'd have to stay in the hospital for at least a week after the procedure.

Having already been admitted early to prepare for labor, she was eager to go home.

Natural births usually allowed for quicker discharge, just like Xiaojun, who was released after two or three days.

The elders also said natural birth was better.

She was determined to try for a natural delivery first; only if it didn't go well would she consider a C-section.

Bah, bah, bah—everything would go smoothly! No need for surgery!
