12:30pm—护士过来，说我的膀胱里积满了尿，要给我导尿。因为麻醉的原因，我已经感觉不到膀胱的胀痛，也丧失了大小便的能力。我问护士会不会痛（问完了才觉得这个问题很白痴，都麻醉了，就是痛也感觉不到了）。护士很耐心的解释说，不会痛，即使不用麻醉也不会痛，只是会有些discomfort。不过，你现在麻醉了，就什么都不会觉得了。看着护士把一条细管子插进尿道，尿液就流出来了。我都觉得有些不好意思。护士说，我的宫缩还是不太稳定，有时候间隔3分钟，有时候4分钟，有时候5分钟，所以要输药物迫使宫缩变为间隔2分钟。我问护士，“我的羊水弄破后，没觉得流很多就不流了，这正常吗？”“正常的，不用担心，宝宝在继续制造羊水。”“宝宝怎样制造啊？”“羊水其实是宝宝的尿液。”“听说羊水少的话宝宝会很难生，因为没有了羊水流出来的推力。”护士看着我笑了，说“羊水不是帮助宝宝出生的，你才是，到时候要你用力推才行”

9:00am—护士见我宫缩的时候挺痛苦的。说，不要忘记，有三种选择可以减轻疼痛：1. 硬膜外麻,最有效的一种，可以用在整个生产过程，不会感觉到任何疼痛，生的时候，可以通过调节药的剂量让你感觉到宫缩，但是感觉不到疼痛2.腿部肌肉注射，这种只能持续3个小时，而且不可以太迟注射，会导致胎儿的心跳下降。3.笑气，可以在一定程度上减轻痛苦。如果你需要，让我知道。我的答案仍是不需要，可以忍受。不过说真的，真得挺难忍的。宫缩的时候，必须让老公把一只手放在我的背后，另一只手紧紧握住我的手，我深呼吸，闭着眼睛告诉自己我可以挺得住。老公说，这个时候，宫缩强度已经超过100了，而且，宫缩间隙，强度再也不回到0了，只回到20-30左右，4，5分钟后，就又跳到100多。难怪一直痛，没有什么喘息的时间呢。 11:00am—我痛得实在受不了了，腰痛，背痛，屁股痛，小腹部也痛。。。每次宫缩来的时候，我都差不多要叫出来了

00:05am—坐电梯去医院报到处，在电梯里，用里面的镜子，指着眼皮抱怨，看又多了粒油豆。老公笑说，还有心情关心眼皮上的油豆，看来还不是特别痛。来到医院的报到处告诉护士我的宫缩很规律了。护士的第一个问题就是：要不要硬膜外麻醉。我们说不要。很多朋友和同事都是顺产没有用任何麻醉。我就想，他们都可以，我为什么不可以。护士说，如果你要用硬膜外麻醉， 我们就直接给你办住院手续。既然你不要，那我们先送你去监护病房，监测30分钟到一个小时，然后再通知你的医生。00:30am—来到监护病房，护士先让去厕所，然后回到床位把下身的衣服全脱掉。放了两个探测器在小腹部。一个监视宝宝的心跳，一个监视宫缩。探测器了另一端连接到一带小屏幕的打印机。小屏幕上显示的是宝宝的心跳速率，打印机里出来的是心跳速率和宫缩的强度及间隔时间。10几分钟过后，护士进来，看了看，说你的宫缩已经很规律了，而且强度挺大的，要不要硬膜外麻醉？

4:00am—跟往常一样，起来去厕所。现在每天晚上要至少去两次厕所，有时候太累了，憋到不能憋了才去, 完事了，都会觉得膀胱被撑得隐隐的痛。这次，上完厕所，膀胱没啥感觉，倒是小腹部有了轻度宫缩伴有月经痛的感觉，以前从来没有过。而且，这种疼痛一直持续着。5:30am—又去了趟厕所，特意看了看手纸，没有落红。心理稍微踏实了些。回到床上，告诉老公，小腹有月经痛的感觉，估计快要生了。老公很兴奋的坐了起来，“真的吗? 真的吗?”6:00am—嘱咐老公把我准备好的医院用品装包。因为预产期是4月6号，打算工作到4月3号才休假的，所以今天是要去上班的。老公正好休假。7:00am—决定不去上班了。于是给老板和同事发了条短信，说估计baby要出来了，不去上班了。上网去公司的远程office,把该交待的事情又交待了一下。8:00am—好累，回去床上睡觉。11:00am—醒了，6个未接电话。公司同事打来的。

In the 1990s, the Chinese state reversed many of its productive rural experiments, with long-lasting damage to the economy and society. A weak

One thing I like when I go outside in China (wherever it is), it's that you never know what you may see when you walk on the street. Eat dog in China is something normal especially during winter where dog is consider to make your body warmer while eating it. So be careful when you order some meat in restaurant, you never know what they can serve you. Bon appetit!
