As Shen Tianshu continued to use warm moxibustion, the mother felt that her intestines and stomach seemed to be gradually comfortable, and soon she felt that her stomach was growling and she was very hungry.
"I-I seem a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Without looking back, Shen Tianshu ordered to Zhang Muqiu: "I asked her family to buy food. You go out and bring it in."
Zhang Muqiu subconsciously followed Shen Tianshu's instructions and went out to bring the food in before he realized why he was so obedient?
On the tray were two plates of soft snacks and soup, which were relatively easy to eat and digest.
At this time, the mother felt very hungry, so she ate most of the snacks in one go with the soup.
Zhang Muqiu was greatly relieved when he saw that the mother was willing to eat. She wanted to eat well, and she would have the strength to give birth after eating.
At this time, she finally understood the purpose of Shen Tianshu's warm moxibustion.
Generally speaking, when a pregnant woman goes into labor, the fetus will start to move downward before the onset of labor.
Therefore, many people will suddenly feel an appetite before giving birth. This is because the fetus moves downward and no longer presses against the mother's stomach.
But today, this woman with dystocia suffered from abdominal pain and loss of appetite during labor due to epigastric deficiency and coldness.
Warm moxibustion has the effect of unblocking the meridians and driving away cold evil, and can promote qi and blood circulation, warm and replenish qi.
Zhang Muqiu had used acupuncture for this purpose before, but because the mother was too weak, the effect was not obvious.
On the basis of her acupuncture, Shen Tianshu added warm moxibustion at Zhongwan point to speed up the effect and have the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi.
Now the mother's stomach is comfortable and she can eat naturally.
When the food is taken down, the strength can be restored and the Qi can be improved, so that the mother will have the energy to give birth.
Sure enough, after the mother ate, she began to have abdominal pain again, which became tighter and tighter.
Listening to the mother's moans coming from inside again, the family members outside became nervous again.
Since ancient times, women have been giving birth to children, which is like walking through the gate of hell. It can range from half-dead to half-dead, while at worst, it can kill two people.
At this time, the mother's cervix has been dilated. This is her third pregnancy, so she naturally knows how to exert force.
The difficulty in giving birth before was just due to lack of strength. Now that my strength has returned, I can quickly use my strength along with the pain of abdominal contraction.
In less than an hour, the baby was successfully delivered from the mother's body.
Fortunately, the situation that Shen Tianshu and Zhang Muqiu were worried about did not happen. The child started crying loudly as soon as he was born, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly even outside.
Shen Tianshu checked the child and found that there was no disability or defect. He cleaned the child, wrapped it and handed it to Zhang Muqiu, saying, "It's a boy. It's okay to take him out and show it to his family."
Zhang Muqiu took the child, but did not go out. Instead, he said: "It's better for me to stay in the delivery room and wait for the baby to come out. It's all your credit that the mother can give birth to the baby smoothly. It's better for you to carry the baby out. You are better than me." The mother’s family should be grateful…”
"It doesn't matter who takes her out. The safety of mother and child is the best comfort, and nothing else matters." Shen Tianshu said with a smile, "Go quickly, her family must be waiting in a hurry.
Zhang Muqiu couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose when he heard these familiar words.
She quickly lowered her eyes and turned around, holding the baby in her arms and leaving the delivery room.
The mother's family had long heard the baby's cry. At this time, they were all crowded at the door of the inner room. If the guards hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed in.
"Don't worry, I gave birth to a big fat boy. Mother and child are safe." Zhang Muqiu said, putting the child in his father's arms.
"Okay, okay, just hope everything is safe!" The child's father hugged the child and thanked Zhang Muqiu repeatedly, "Doctor Zhang, it's really thanks to you this time."
Zhang Muqiu shook his head and said: "This time, mother and child are safe, all thanks to Mrs. Tong. It was her timely use of moxibustion sticks to warm and moxibustion the mother's acupuncture points, which enabled such a smooth delivery. I will never dare to take credit."
"We are all grateful to you and Madam Tong, thank you all!"
"We are just doing our duty as medical practitioners. But you must learn from the lesson in the future. Don't take it lightly as if it's just a minor problem. Stomach pain may seem like a minor thing at first, but in the end it almost led to a big disaster. .”
"Isn't that right? Doctor Zhang is right, we will never dare to do it again in the future."
Not long after, the mother's afterbirth finally came off smoothly. Shen Tianshu checked that it was intact and finally felt relieved.
She left the delivery room and asked the mother's family to come in and take care of her, so as not to be thanked by the mother's family again.
Shen Tianshu finally got out. He wanted to raise his hands to wipe his sweat, but he saw blood on his hands.
She was about to ask Minghui to fetch water to wash her hands, but Zhang Muqiu suddenly took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and said, "This handkerchief is clean."
After Zhang Muqiu said this, he took two steps forward and raised his hand to gently wipe away the sweat from Shen Tianshu's forehead just like he did when he was still with Jiang Tong.
After wiping her hand, she took back her hand, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a rather stiff tone: "Thank you so much for today. Also, I just saw your moxibustion technique..."
Shen Tianshu's heart tightened when he heard this. She had just been focused on how to save the mother, and she didn't expect to hide her method. She didn't expect that Zhang Muqiu would see it.
Just when she was thinking about how to deal with it, she heard Zhang Muqiu continue: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you before. Judging from your technique, you must have learned medical skills from the princess, and you are far better than me." good."
After hearing this, Shen Tianshu suddenly relaxed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been nervous for a long time just now, thinking that she would be suspected this time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Muqiu took the initiative to help her find a suitable explanation.
But thinking about it, the situation like hers of reviving a dead body is really too bizarre. Who would think about it if they didn't experience it personally!
Even if she admitted it personally, others would probably think she was crazy and would not believe that such a thing could happen in the world.
"There is actually nothing wrong with your handling today, but you are still relatively inexperienced. This mother has been suffering from gastric problems for more than a day or two. She has long-term stomach pain and poor appetite. Her physical condition is not very good, and it coincides with a critical moment like labor. , simple acupuncture is too slow to take effect. At this time, adding warm moxibustion to the correct acupoints will achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
If Shen Tianshu had said this before, Zhang Muqiu would definitely not be convinced and would not take it seriously.
But after getting approval and saying it now, Zhang Muqiu listened very seriously, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "The tone of your words is really like the princess. If you weren't standing in front of me, your voice would be different." , I almost wonder if I am dreaming, in which the princess is teaching me medical skills."
