Beginning of Labor

When the doctor put her fingers inside her, Chen  Lihua screamed in pain and struggled.

"Hold her down!." The doctor instructed Liu Longwei.

"You're five centimeters (2 inches) dilated, which means your cervix is halfway to its complete opening. You are already in the first stage of labor. okay right now, I need you to walk around, do some exercise, yoga will help at this point. You can chat, read, just have fun and practice your breathing exercises." The doctor said to them.

"Doctor, I need to pee." Chen Lihua said in pain.

"Please go ahead." The doctor said after cleaning her up.

Liu Longwei kept saying sorry to her as he escorted her to the bathroom to relieve herself.

Just when she was done using the bathroom, the doctor informed her that she could have a warm bath if she wanted to.

Chen Lihua didn't think she could stand having a normal shower, so she kicked against that idea.
