As the year neared its end, Qin Zhenzhen stood on the brink of giving birth.
Su Bin couldn't shake off his concerns. In ancient times, medical advancements were limited, and the process of childbirth was akin to navigating the gates of hell. Despite Qin Zhenzhen's reassurances, asserting her expertise as a doctor and her commitment to ensuring her safety, Su Bin remained anxious.
He turned to the elderly woman attending to Qin Zhenzhen and said, "If Madam shows any signs of going into labor, inform me immediately."
His desire was to remain by his wife's side throughout the process.
The midwife explained, "While we can estimate the due date, it's not an exact science. Some deliveries happen one to ten days early, while others are delayed by the same margin."
Therefore, in the ten days leading up to the expected delivery date, Su Bin felt on edge every day.
