1170 Ma.s.s Production

Qiao Nan could hear faint sounds of Zhai Hua’s voice as she spoke to her. She tried her best to use her last ounce of energy to give birth to the last baby. Now that the baby was delivered, she relaxed, curling the corners of her lips. She could finally drift off to sleep with peace of mind.

It was too exhausting to give birth to three babies!

“Give me the baby. The baby will feel uncomfortable at the way you are holding them. But there is no hurry. You can take your time to learn the correct way.” Everyone in the delivery room felt relieved. The nurse took the baby from Zhai Hua so that the doctor could examine them.

Some of the nurses cleaned up Qiao Nan, while some helped take care of the three babies.

The doctor smiled at Zhai Hua after examining the babies. “Congratulations. They are triplets. The first-born and the second-born are boys while the third-born is a girl.”

“Three babies! Are there really three of them?!” Zhai Hua felt dizzy when she stared at the three babies who were wrapped nicely in towels and placed on the table side by side. “Didn’t you say that there are only two of them?” Zhai Hua was so overjoyed that she behaved like a child. She lifted three fingers but she was, in fact, talking about two babies.

“It could be that we did not notice them during the checkup. We usually determine the number of babies based on the fetal heartbeat. There would be instances where the fetal heartbeats are identical.” The machine and technology were not as advanced and accurate. But she believed that it would be more accurate in the future. “Nevertheless, congratulations. We have gotten through a daunting experience without mishap. Congratulations to the arrival of the three babies.”

They were blessed to have two sons and one daughter.

Zhai Hua patted her face, feeling pain in her face. It was then that she was certain that she had not been dreaming. It was the truth that she had two nephews and one niece. “Doctor, what about the babies? Is everything alright with them?”

It was no wonder that she had the feeling that Qiao Nan’s tummy was larger than usual. It was as if her tummy was transparent and was about to burst. As a result, she would often have nightmares and wake up in the middle of the night.

It turned out that Qiao Nan might be slim, but her tummy was able to contain three babies!

Previously, she was worried that Qiao Nan’s tummy was too large and the babies might be overnourished. Now, Zhai Hua was worried that the three babies did not have enough nutrition and that they were underdeveloped.

In normal cases, pregnant ladies would take in food that was sufficient for two people.

In Qiao Nan’s case, she had to take in food sufficient for four people!

It was almost the size of a family.

The three babies had to depend on Qiao Nan to provide nutrition for them. Zhai Hua felt uneasy at the thought of that.

“Don’t worry. It is normal for mothers who carried more than one baby to have a premature delivery. The mother exercised and had been well-taken care of. She only went into labor in her ninth month. It was good enough. I have done a check on the three babies. Their hearts and lungs are functioning well and they are well-developed. They are considered to be fairly healthy.”

Compared to the size of the baby in single child pregnancy, the three babies were indeed smaller in size.

It did make a difference to share the nutrients among the three babies instead of having all the nutrition to oneself.

“Normal babies would weigh two and a half to three and a half kilograms. For your family, the elder brother weighs two thousand three hundred and fifty grams, and the younger brother weighs two thousand three hundred grams. The sister is the lightest. She weighs two thousand grams. I have helped deliver many triplets. Most of them are only about one thousand five hundred grams. Therefore, it goes to show that you have taken good care of the mother.”

Zhai Hua sniffed. “It is Nan Nan who is outstanding. She is fabulous. She is very smart and she does very well in her studies. She is the top humanities student in the college entrance examination and she is one of the top students at Peking University. Therefore, she will do a better job than others when she is pregnant!”

Upon hearing the doctor’s feedback about the babies, Zhai Hua was especially proud of Qiao Nan.

If not for Qiao Nan, they might expedite the delivery and the babies would not be so healthy and strong.

Although her nephews and niece were smaller than other babies, Nan Nan had done a very good job providing them with nutrition during her pregnancy.

The three babies weighed up to a total of seven kilograms. It was no wonder that nearing her third trimester, Nan Nan would feel backache when she lay down to sleep.

Anyone who carried something that weighed a few kilograms on their waist would find it tiring and exhausting.

Mothers were the greatest people in the world!

“Did she really have triplets?” Tian Dong was surprised when three reddish, wrinkled, and tiny babies were brought out of the delivery room. He thought that Qiao Nan carried twins. Therefore, he only prepared two sets of presents. In that case, he had to prepare another present for the third baby.

Zhai Hua, who came out with the babies, cried while she smiled. “Yes, Nan Nan is so fantastic. She has brought three babies to the Zhai family. Two of them are boys and one of them is a girl. She is fabulous. I-I am so grateful to her. Not only will I have nephews, but I will have a niece as well. I-I feel very much like crying. I cannot hold back my tears. What should I do?”

Zhai Hua was crying uncontrollably.

She had no idea why she would be so emotional and she could not stop crying at the sight of the three reddish and wrinkled babies.

She only knew that the only thing that she felt like doing right now was to have a good cry.

She was there by her side when her niece was brought to the world. She was the one who welcomed her to the world.

The child was so adorable!

“I carried my nephew in my arms. Do you know he is so tiny and he is nestled in my arms? He is smaller than my arms. He is so soft that I dared not hug him.”

“I know. Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Tian Dong’s heart ached for Zhai Hua. He pulled her into an embrace and patted her lightly on the back, as if he was consoling a child. He did not mind that her tears had dirtied his expensive s.h.i.+rt. It was most probably ruined and he could not wear it anymore even after he washed it.

He hugged her for about five minutes before he pa.s.sed her a bottle of water. He unscrewed the cap for her and she gulped down the water, finis.h.i.+ng the entire bottle. “Hua Hua, it is mealtime now. Should you give a call to your parents to tell them the news? Perhaps you should try calling Zhai Sheng as well, telling him that he is a father of triplets.”

Tian Dong felt envious at the mention of triplets.

He was two years older than Zhai Sheng. He longed to be a father as well.

The problem was the person he liked had yet to agree to marry him. He did not know when they would have kids. On the other hand, Zhai Sheng, who was two years younger than him, had become the father of three babies.

The number of babies was…

Was this a ma.s.s production?

As a man, Tian Dong was full of envy. Zhai Sheng was indeed capable.
