"Harder!"
"Go down harder!"
The anxious voice of Zhao Wenpo from the village came from the room.
Zhao Wenpo was in charge of midwifery in the village. Women in the village always came to her to give birth to their babies, but she was only a layperson and didn't know much, so Cheng Wanwan made a special trip to Hekou County to find a reliable Wenpo.
She walked to the door of the room and smelled the smell of blood. Fortunately, the smell of blood was not strong.
"Sidan, don't just stand there stupidly. Go to your grandma's house and borrow an old hen. Sanniu, you can pack up the old hen and make soup. Yingying, go boil the water!" Cheng Wanwan ordered in an orderly manner. , "Chunhua, you go to the kitchen to prepare food, you can't let Po Wen go all the way to get something to eat!"
Several confused children quickly calmed down and went about their business.
Cheng Wanwan took a deep breath, opened the door and walked into the delivery room.
Zhao Dashan had already entered and was sitting by the bed, holding Wu Huiniang's hand tightly.
Wu Huiniang was exerting all her strength, her whole body was soaked and her voice was a little hoarse.
Cheng Wanwan sat on the other side of the bed, held the eldest daughter-in-law's hand, and said softly: "Let's change the breathing method. The exhalation must be even and slow. The inhaled air must slowly move to the abdomen. One lap, slowly and slowly, don’t be in a hurry..."
This is the natural birth breathing method she learned from reading a book. It can relieve the mother's nervousness and panic and provide more oxygen to the fetus in her belly.
She doesn't know how to deliver babies, so that's all she can do.
In her gentle voice, Wu Huiniang's tight muscles slowly relaxed.
Zhao Wenpo stared at the birth canal and said excitedly: "We are almost seeing the baby, Dashan's wife, please push harder, hurry up!"
Wu Huiniang had been in labor for two or three hours, and she had no strength at all.
Cheng Wanwan bought a piece of chocolate in the mall and stuffed it directly into Wu Huiniang's mouth when Zhao Dashan wasn't paying attention.
The sweet chocolate melted in her mouth, and Wu Huiniang swallowed it unconsciously.
Chocolate could provide heat in a short time, injecting a little strength into her exhausted body.
She hissed.
Finally, Zhao Wenpo's joyful voice came: "The baby is out, finally out... No, no, why, how could this happen..."
Cheng Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up and went over to take a look. Her legs suddenly felt weak.
What came out first was not the head, but a white and tender hand.
Although she has never given birth to a child, she knows very well what it means when the hand comes out first - it is a difficult labor caused by abnormal fetal position.
The hands came out, but the head did not. The child could easily suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
Zhao Wenpo's voice couldn't stop trembling: "Five years ago, I delivered a baby to a woman in the village. The baby's hand came out first, so he couldn't be born at all. In the end, one corpse and two lives..."
"Granny Zhao, please, please save my wife..." Zhao Dashan knelt on the ground with a plop, "No matter what method you use, as long as you can save my wife's life..."
Zhao Wenpo kept backing away: "It really can't be done... I can't save it, this is life..."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and rushed out of the delivery room.
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun and Wen were both waiting in the yard. They didn't hear the child crying, but saw Po Wen rushing out with a pale face. They were almost frightened to death.
"Difficult, difficult delivery..." Mrs. Zhao Wen's voice was unsteady, "I don't have the ability to deliver the baby, so hurry up and find someone else..."
Old Mrs. Zhao's head was filled with hot blood and she almost fainted.
Cao Yingying held a basin of hot water and said calmly: "Don't worry, Granny Zhao. Auntie went to Hekou County to invite the most famous Yu Wenpo. Zhao Ergou and Zhao Sanshu drove the carriage to invite people. It's about half an hour. The clock is back."
She looked calm on the surface, but her voice was actually trembling.
The scene of her young mother's difficult delivery kept popping up in her mind. She waved away those images and walked into the delivery room carrying hot water.
She squatted next to Wu Huiniang and helped scrub away the blood. Although her hands were shaking, her movements were very delicate and gentle...
"Mother..." Wu Huiniang's voice was broken. She grabbed Cheng Wanwan's sleeve and cried, "Save the child, we must save the child...Mother, please, help me..."
Cheng Wanwan stroked her hair and said softly: "Mrs. Yu Wen will be here soon. Don't worry, the child will be fine."
Wu Huiniang closed her eyes in pain: "Isn't it difficult for the female goat to give birth last time...Mom, just use that method to take out the baby. I'm not afraid of pain, and I'm not afraid of death...Mom, please..."
"no!"
Zhao Dashan rejected it immediately.
He held his wife's hand tightly, kissed the back of her hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "We are still young. We can have more children in the future, but if you are gone, what should I do..."
Wu Huiniang shook her head weakly: "Dashan, nothing will happen to the child. Nothing will happen to the child. Get out, get out!"
"Dashan, get out." Cheng Wanwan said slowly, "Yingying, get out too."
Cao Yingying walked out carrying a basin of blood.
Zhao Dashan's eyes were red. He wanted to say something, but he held back. He shook his head: "I want to stay here and not leave."
Cheng Wanwan knew that her son was stubborn and would definitely not want to leave at such a critical moment.
She gave up trying to persuade her. She walked to the other side of the bed and took out the fetal heart rate monitor from the storage area of the mall. The most important thing now was to confirm whether the child was still alive.
If the child is already... then there is no need to insist.
She placed the fetal heart rate monitor on Wu Huiniang's abdomen and soon heard the sonorous and powerful heartbeat.
The heartbeat is steady and strong, the child is alive and doing very well!
It should be that all the amniotic fluid has not flowed out yet, and there is still oxygen in the uterus, so the child does not have intrauterine distress.
The white and tender little fingers actually moved.
Zhao Dashan was so focused on his wife at this time that he was so confused that he didn't even notice what his own mother was doing.
Cheng Wanwan was at a loss. Even if she cut the birth canal, it would be difficult to deliver the baby.
If it were in modern times, she would have switched to a caesarean section, but she was not a medical student. Even if she could buy all the medical equipment, she would not have the ability to perform such a dangerous operation.
Various thoughts came to her mind. Although she thought a lot, in fact only two minutes had passed.
Just then, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the window.
Then there were messy footsteps, the door of the delivery room was suddenly pushed open, and Mrs. Yu Wen rushed in.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she heard Mrs. Zhao explain the situation. When she saw the little hand, she realized that the situation was really serious.
She asked someone to bring hot water, washed her hands repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "This little daughter-in-law's fetus is not in the right position. It needs to be corrected first. This is very risky, so I must get your permission before I dare to operate."
Zhao Dashan hurriedly asked: "What does it mean that the risk is very high?"
"If one operation is not performed well, the mother will easily bleed, and the child will also die of suffocation." Mrs. Yu Wen said slowly, "But if the operation is not performed, the child will definitely die, and the mother will not be much better, or she will never get better again. If you are unable to have children, the worst case scenario is one dead body and two lives..."
All the color on Zhao Dashan's face instantly faded, and the tears that had been controlled for a long time flowed down uncontrollably.
"Help me..." Wu Huiniang said with difficulty, "As long as I can save the child, I can..."
Cheng Wanwan stood aside and did not move. In fact, she quickly bought a book about correct fetal position in the mall. After reading the key paragraph, she breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that incorrect fetal position can indeed lead to normal delivery. Correcting the fetal position, but it requires an experienced midwife to do this. Mrs. Yu Wen has been delivering babies for thirty or forty years and has absolutely rich experience.
At least the risk of having the fetus in the correct position is much lower than the risk of having her undergo a caesarean section.
Cheng Wanwan said, "Po Yu Wen, I'll trouble you."
