Now, what happened to the baby born on a rainy night?
On the night of the rainstorm, the ward suddenly fell into darkness
Zhou Qing (pseudonym), 30 years old this year, is one of the pregnant women who gave birth on a rainy night.
In December last year, the news of the pregnancy made Zhou Qing and her husband Wang Shuai (pseudonym) happy, which was their first child. The due date is August 11, 2021, the couple prepared the baby's clothes and daily necessities early, and even the name was good, "the boy is called Zechen, the girl is called Ruochen".
Zhou Qing's process of conceiving this new life was smoother than she expected, and even morning sickness was rare, she laughed and said, "Colleagues say that I am pregnant with an 'angel baby'." However, when there was still more than a month to go before the due date, Zhou Qing was suddenly diagnosed with high blood pressure during pregnancy and was admitted to the hospital shortly after. She waited carefully and expectantly for the baby to be born.

On July 17, Zhou Qing had been hospitalized for almost a week, and it began to rain in Zhengzhou.
On July 19, because of the elevated bile acid index and high blood pressure during pregnancy, doctors recommended that Zhou Qing give birth as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect the health of the fetus.
On the morning of July 20, Zhou Qing began to inject labor, and then could only be closely observed in the waiting room and ward. The family's attention was all on the mother, feeling "expectant and nervous", and no one even paid attention to the rainy day outside the window.
Until the afternoon, the baby in Zhou Qing's belly had no sign of "starting". The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and when Wang Shuai went out to buy food, the depth of the water in the torrential rain even reached his waist, and he began to feel that the rain was a little wrong.
Dong Liuchen, the midwife on duty that day, received a notice from the hospital at about 4:30 p.m. that all departments should make emergency preparations for heavy rain.

People in the hospital have successively seen heavy rain in the circle of friends and chat groups that netizens exclaimed as "the sky is leaking":
Some people are trapped on the road, hiding from the rain in the street shops; some people are wading in the street, suddenly falling, fortunately being desperately dragged by passers-by; some people go to kindergartens to pick up babies, and drive like a boat on the way home...
Later, they learned that from 4 to 5 p.m. that day, the one-hour rainfall reached 201.9 mm, breaking the historical extreme of Chinese mainland hours of rainfall.
Zhou Qing, who was nervous about giving birth, did not notice these situations. It wasn't until around 6 p.m. that the hospital suddenly lost power. At that time, the ward suddenly fell into darkness, and some pregnant women exclaimed: "Why is there a power outage?" "Others ran down the corridor to see. Zhou Qing was a little surprised, but she immediately thought, "Such a big hospital, there must be a backup power supply."
Her prediction was correct. Not long after, the hospital's backup emergency power supply was activated. Many of the women around Zhou Qing were pushed into the delivery room, and one by one new lives were born smoothly.
Medical staff are warm and protective
The baby is born smoothly
After midnight on the 21st, Zhou Qing was pushed into the delivery room. The light in the delivery room was dim, but the light brought by the spare lamp in the hands of the doctors made Zhou Qing feel warm and steadfast.
Zhou Qing still remembers the scene where the doctor and the midwife comforted and encouraged her, "They kept saying to me, 'Come on you're great,' 'It's fast,' and there was a midwife holding my hand next to me." ”
At 1:05 a.m. on July 21, Zhou Qing gave birth smoothly and the mother and daughter were safe. Outside the delivery room, Wang Shuai's hanging heart was finally put down.

Torrential rain poured down, and some dimly lit delivery rooms stubbornly guarded the arrival of new life. That night, the midwife Dong Liuchen and his colleagues helped many women give birth smoothly, trying to minimize the impact of the power outage.
When a colleague reassured the mother and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always accompany you," Dong Liuchen recorded the moment with his mobile phone.
At 2:00 a.m., after a day of exhausting work, Dong Liuchen sent a circle of friends with this photo caption: "On the first day of your birth, you will face the flood beasts of this world, even if there is only one beam of light left, we will do our best to light up for you and escort you." ”

Rescue never stops
In the hospital, there are still many people escorting the arrival of new life.
A pregnant woman living on the 15th floor has broken amniotic fluid and must immediately go to the delivery room on the 5th floor, the elevator cannot be used due to the power outage, and several unknown patients' families volunteered to carry the pregnant woman to the delivery room on a stretcher. In the early hours of the morning, the child was born smoothly and the mother and daughter were safe.
Another husband took his wife who was about to give birth to the hospital during the rainstorm, the vehicle broke down in the water, and 3 drivers relayed to escort them along the way. Hearing the baby's crying, the father finally couldn't help but cry...
Outside the hospital, the rescue never stopped, and more new forces joined in.
On that day, the children and firefighters rushed to the front line of rescue; countless ordinary people reached out to help and saved people at the moment of a thousand gunshots; and some people established a document of "information on people to be rescued", building a bridge between the trapped and the rescuers...
The Zhou Qing family, who have just ushered in a new life, also continue to harvest more warmth.
The day after the child was born, Wang Shuai went out to buy food, due to water and power outages, the surrounding businesses had closed their shops, and Wang Shuai had to knock on the doors of surrounding households one by one. After a family learned about the situation, they immediately boiled all the seven or eight eggs left in the family, and specially found some sesame balls into his hand and let them be given to Zhou Qing.
During that time, there were also social benevolent people who donated bread, ham sausages, mineral water and other materials to the hospital.

The little baby took a special allegorical name
Because of premature birth, Zhou Qing's baby weighed less than 5 pounds at birth and was immediately sent to the neonatal ward. After careful care by the medical staff, the baby and the mother were successfully discharged from the hospital a few days later.
Because of this torrential rain, Zhou Qing and Wang Shuai decided not to use the name they had thought of before and named the child Yuting. "Hopefully the torrential rain will stop. The child's full name is 'Wang Yuting', which means 'looking forward to the rain stopping'. ”

Today, the life of zhou qing's family has entered a new stage. Because of the arrival of the child, they are busy and happy, "the child was born until now, and has not slept a whole night." Although I was very tired, I saw that the child laughed and felt that everything was worth it. ”
Now Xiao Yuting is healthy and healthy, well-behaved and cute.
