After drinking the medicine to induce labor, my contractions started
right away, and I began to push, sweat beading on my forehead.

I was getting used to the breathing techniques for childbirth,
exhaling in rhythm with each wave of pain.

Hee, hee, hoo\hee, hee, hoo...! Haa, nn, hee, hee, hoo, fuuuu...!

ObstetricianF
That's it! Keep breathing just like that! You can do it, keep going...
you can do this!

With the doctor and nurses watching over me, I put all my strength
into my lower body, doing my best.

The pain was getting stronger, but I thought about how the baby inside
me was trying just as hard to be born, and I pushed even harder.

You're doing great! Keep pushing just like that! Just a little more,
just a little more!

Time dragged on as it felt like the baby was about to come but
wouldn't, but the doctor's encouraging voice kept me going.

At just the right moment, I pushed, and I felt something slip out from
my belly.

Ah, it's coming out, the baby's coming, nn, ahh! Fuh, kuh, ah, ah,
ahhhh...!

By this point, breathing techniques didn't matter anymore\I just
screamed and pushed with everything I had.

Something slipped out from inside me, and the baby was born from the
opening between my legs.

As I relaxed in relief, the doctor happily handed me my baby.

ObstetricianF
Yes, it's a very healthy baby. It might take after you a little more
than usual.

Gently taking the child in my arms, I held them close with all the
love in the world.

As I relaxed in relief, the doctor handed me the baby with a somewhat
puzzled look.

ObstetricianF
The baby is very healthy... but it seems to be a monster's child...

Even so, it was still my child. I gently took them in my arms and
hugged them lovingly.
