Certainly, they all knew they were due to give birth around the same time…
There were even ladies with due dates earlier than mine, so why is my belly the biggest?
Looking down at her belly, the largest among the gathered, Liz thought.
Suddenly, Mirabel’s words came to mind, and Liz’s face turned pale.
‘My belly is big, so the baby must be big too. I thought I would die giving birth to that child.’
Mirabel endured a full day and half a night of labor.
She was advised to undergo surgery because it would be dangerous for both the child and the mother if it went on any longer. At the moment when the doctor couldn’t help but bring a scalpel to her abdomen to proceed with the surgery, Aris was born.
At that time, Liz heard those words with a smile…
Thinking that this story could be her own, Liz felt as if her entire body was freezing.
The midwife in charge of education read Liz’s uneasy expression and reassured her with a soft voice.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. If the pelvis is good, you can safely give birth even if the baby is big.”
‘If the pelvis is good? Is my pelvis good?’
Liz briefly turned her gaze to herself but couldn’t find any signs of it.
Her husband Hersis had evaluated it as, at least, flexible. Whether that matched the meaning the midwife conveyed, Liz wasn’t sure.
Another pregnant woman of the same age as Liz asked the midwife.
“What are we going to do today?”
“We’ll do exercises. Exercises that help with childbirth. Please change into the clothes I prepared and come out, Your Majesty, and other ladies.”
The midwife handed out clothing suitable for exercise.
It was a shirt with a wide opening for the head and loose-fitting pants. The pants were made of a stretchy synthetic material and designed to wrap around the entire belly, making them very warm and comfortable.
About a dozen noble ladies all appeared in such attire, and the midwife began the exercises.
It was nothing more than light stretching.
Since activities other than horse riding were unfamiliar to them, everyone was initially puzzled. However, as time passed, they gradually got used to it, and they all enjoyed it with smiles.
Afterward, they learned how to communicate with the baby through meditation.
“Now, take a deep breath and exhale, praising the baby. If there’s a nickname, you can call it out.”
Everyone called out their own nicknames, saying things like ‘I love you’ and ‘Be born healthy.’ Amidst that, Liz muttered quietly.
“Cain, if you’re going to grow bigger than this, come out.”
As a creature of forgetfulness, Liz, who had overcome the crisis of premature birth, now wanted to give birth quickly. So she wanted to get rid of this annoying back pain.
Suddenly, the third lady, a pregnant blonde noblewoman standing beside her, spoke.
“I understand Your Majesty’s feelings entirely.”
“…”
“I felt exactly the same way during my first pregnancy. The belly swells day by day, and it feels like your back is about to break, but the baby seems to have no intention of coming out into the world. I don’t know how many stairs I climbed up and down, how much I cleaned the floor. But eventually… he was born after the due date. It was an incredibly difficult birth…”
‘What? Are you comforting me?’
“So what I’m trying to say is… even though you suffered so much, once you give birth, the baby looks so beautiful.”
“…”
“Your Majesty will soon experience it too. The indescribable joy when you see the first life born from your body. The midwife will confirm the number of tiny fingers and toes and tell you, ‘Everything is fine.’ I had another child later, but honestly, the joy wasn’t as great as it was then.”
Liz thought quietly about those words.
‘Did my mother feel that joy when she gave birth to me? Did she experience the emotion that can only be felt with the first child?’
She decided that she would ask someday when a considerable amount of time had passed.
She could have asked now, but if there was a possibility of a negative answer…
‘What joy? At that time, it was just a desire to quickly get rid of the pain and annoyance.’
…and if she heard such words, it might hurt her heart. She wanted to confirm when she felt ready to handle such pain. Anyway.
They seemed to have done enough meditation. What would they do next?
As everyone looked at the midwife with expectant eyes, a wise smile appeared on her face.
Everyone could sense that this training would be the highlight of the day.
“From now on, we’ll do labor training.”
“Labor… training?”
The inexperienced ladies widened their eyes in surprise. The other women, those who had given birth at least once, looked at the newcomers with an indulgent expression.
“Yes, everyone, sit on the floor with your legs crossed.”
“…”
“Keep your back straight, and we’ll practice breathing. Breathing is crucial during labor. If you hold your breath or don’t breathe properly, the baby may not receive enough oxygen.”
It was an effective speech that focused the attention of the inexperienced mothers.
Liz closed her eyes as instructed by the midwife and calmly practiced deep breathing.
She also learned how to alternate between shallow and deep breaths.
She became curious if her mother had done something like this, but she thought she probably hadn’t.
While thinking about it, the midwife continued her explanation.
“This breathing technique is even better when your husband joins. In other kingdoms, husbands are actually involved in childbirth. Well, there might not be such a law in Rosensia, but practicing together, at least…”
Suddenly, the midwife stopped talking. People, who had been concentrating on comfortable breathing, gradually felt the sensation of inhaling one after another.
‘What’s going on? What’s happening?’
Liz slowly opened her eyes. Then, she took the biggest breath of all…
“In Rosensia, there’s no law preventing husbands from participating in childbirth, just like in other kingdoms.”
Hersis approached with rolled-up sleeves, appearing in Liz’s eyes like a slow-motion replay.
Before she could wonder why the person who was usually late had arrived at this hour, he stood in front of Liz. Then, without diverting his gaze from Liz, he asked the midwife.
“What should a husband do?”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
