Chapter 197 Caesarean Section
That night, Xiaomei was awakened by stomach pain while she was sleeping.
Cold sweat broke out all over her body, and she opened her mouth with some difficulty, "Mom and Dad, it hurts, my stomach hurts so much."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and the two old people sleeping next to her didn't hear what she said at all.
It was not until Xiaomei reached out and broke the glass on the bedside table that the crisp sound woke up the two elders who were sleeping soundly.
Xiaomei's mother opened her eyes suddenly after hearing the noise. After turning on the light, she found her daughter lying on the bed with a look of pain on her face. "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't scare your mother, are you going to give birth?"
Xiaomei covered her stomach with one hand and tightly grasped the bed sheet with the other. She felt her stomach tightening in waves. "It hurts so much. I don't know if I should delete it. I just feel such pain in my stomach. Mom, please call me quickly."
"Okay, okay, I'll go get Dr. Su for you right away."
The mother left in a hurry. Not long after she left, the father didn't know what to do. He could only anxiously ask, "Xiaomei, you have to hold on. The doctor will be here soon."
Xiaomei nodded painfully. At this moment, she found that something seemed to be flowing out from under her body. She reached down and found a trace of blood mixed with an unknown liquid, which soaked the entire bed sheet.
"Dad, my water seems to have broken and I'm bleeding."
"Is my child going to be okay?"
The father's pupils shrank when he heard this. "How could this happen? Didn't Doctor Su say the due date was next week? How come the labor started tonight?"
On the other side, Su Jinhui was still working overtime.
She was almost done with her work in her office and was just about to pack up and leave when her doctor's office was violently opened without any greeting. Su Jinhui frowned, and when she was about to ask something, she found out that it was the family member of a patient she was managing.
"Auntie, why are you here? Did something happen to Xiaomei?"
The mother came to Su Jinhui and held her hand. "Doctor Su, something's wrong. Xiaomei said her stomach hurts. Please go and take a look. I think she's not in good condition. I'm afraid she's about to give birth."
After hearing this, Su Jinhui's brows knitted together. "How could this happen? Logically, there should still be a few days left. Is her stomach only reacting now? Has there been any unusual movement in the past few days?"
"Today during the day, she told us that her belly felt a little tight. We didn't take it seriously at first, thinking we'd just observe her for a while. Who knew it would turn out like this at night? If I had known, I should have asked you to come over and take a look at her during the day."
After hearing this, Su Jinhui quickly put down what she was holding and ran towards the ward.
When she arrived at Xiaomei's ward, Su Jinhui found that the cold water was almost gone. Judging from her condition, her cervix was probably three or four fingers dilated.
"Deliver the baby immediately. The amniotic fluid has broken and the baby will be out soon."
Su Jinhui ordered several nurses to come and assist her in delivering the baby.
When Xiaomei entered the delivery room, her condition was not very good.
Moreover, Su Jinhui discovered that the baby in her belly was reluctant to come out. If it was delayed for too long, it would likely cause suffocation, and Xiaomei would then give birth to a stillborn baby.
Xiaomei lay in bed in agony, but she still had a shred of reason to tell Su Jinhui, "Doctor Su, no matter what, please protect my child. His father is serving in the border army and won't be back until the end of the year."
"He was very happy when I became pregnant, but he was too busy with military duties to come home. If he knew there was something wrong with the child, he would never accept it. He would die to keep my child safe."
Every woman is always particularly great when giving birth. She would rather sacrifice her own life to protect her child.
Su Jinhui held Xiaomei's hand tightly, giving her confidence, "Don't say these things, I will do my best to keep you both safe."
Su Jinhui gave her a pill with Linquan properties that could maintain her vital signs and preserve some of her physical strength so that she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable during childbirth.
Time passed by minute by minute. "Doctor Su, this baby has refused to be born, and we have no way to pull the baby's head out directly. If spontaneous delivery is not possible, I'm afraid we can only use a caesarean section."
"There's no time to think too much, Xiaomei. You can't give birth to this baby now. It might be because the baby is too big, or there might be other reasons. For now, a caesarean section is the most helpful way to deliver the baby."
"If you agree, I'll switch you to a vaginal delivery. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Caesarean sections are a very mature procedure now, with a 95% success rate."
Hearing this, Xiaomei nodded. She felt that all her strength was almost exhausted.
"Prepare for surgery immediately and switch from vaginal to cesarean section."
The nurse skillfully took out the surgical instruments and transferred Xiaomei to the operating table.
Su Jinhui performed a caesarean section on her. She performed the operation very quickly. Although Su Jinhui usually performed surgical operations, she also had some research on caesarean sections.
In less than half an hour, the baby was taken out of the belly and then stitches were performed.
Only after hearing the baby crying did Xiaomei close her eyes with peace of mind.
Outside the delivery room, both the mother and the father were extremely anxious, even a little frightened.
Especially the mother, who kept muttering, "If I had known she had a stomachache at noon today, I should have taken her to the doctor immediately, so she wouldn't have gotten into such a dangerous situation at night. Her water had broken, and the baby was going to be born in a few minutes. If she hadn't woken us up, who knows what would have happened."
"God bless me, please keep my daughter and the baby in her belly safe and healthy."
Xiao Hai, who was not far away, witnessed all this. While Su Jinhui was still asleep, he quickly came to the two of them and showed a concerned look, "Uncle and Auntie, is Xiaomei okay?"
"I heard she was about to give birth, so I rushed over to see her. Didn't Doctor Su say she wouldn't give birth until next week? She's still several days away from her due date, so how could she be giving birth so soon?"
"We don't know either!"
Xiao Hai's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "This hospital is quite irresponsible. Furthermore, Xiaomei is Dr. Su's patient. Although I can't say with 100% accuracy when she'll give birth, these past few days are very close to her due date next week, and Dr. Su, her attending physician, hasn't even come to see Xiaomei."
"Ms. Xiaomei hasn't been feeling well recently, and the hospital hasn't taken any concrete action. It's clearly their negligence that nearly caused Xiaomei to get into trouble. I don't think this health center is as good as I imagined."
Originally, the two of them didn't think anything of it, but after hearing what Xiao Hai said, they unconsciously blamed all the responsibility on the health center, and even took their anger out on Su Jinhui.
