Chapter 288 Giving Birth is Terrible
"It's impossible to preserve the fetus. The only way now is to induce labor." Shen Wan said solemnly with a gloomy face, "Although it's a premature baby, there's still hope for the baby to be born."
"But if you don't induce labor, you will definitely lose the baby."
Madam He's eyes darkened and she subconsciously covered her bulging belly with her hands.
The blood is flowing faster and faster. If the baby is not given birth quickly, there will probably be two deaths.
"Make a decision as soon as possible." Looking at the blood-stained quilt, Shen Wan urged, "We can't delay any longer."
She couldn't make the decision for Madam He. After all, she couldn't guarantee the child's safety.
At times like this, it would be nice to have a family member around.
Although Xiaobao was outside the door, he was just a child and could not make any decisions for Madam He.
Madam He gritted her teeth and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"Girl, please help me give birth."
Now that things have come to this, she can only take a gamble.
At this time, Ranqiu brought hot water and a bowl of fragrant lean meat porridge.
"You can stay and help later." Shen Wan looked at it and said, "By the way, do you want to learn how to deliver a baby?"
She felt that she needed to train a helper.
Although Ranqiu doesn't know many words, she is bold and careful. If she is trained well, she will definitely achieve something great.
However, in the Wei Dynasty, many people think that being a midwife is a low-class profession, and I don’t know whether Ranqiu wants to learn it.
Upon hearing this, Ranqiu was delighted.
She had long been extremely envious of Shen Wan's medical skills, and now she was very satisfied to be able to learn a few tricks from her.
"Of course I do!" Ran Qiu nodded quickly and said happily.
Seeing her agree, Shen Wan smiled with satisfaction: "Hurry up and let Madam He eat something, so that she can have the strength to give birth to the baby later."
When Ranqiu heard this, he quickly brought the porridge to Madam He.
Looking at the hot porridge, Madam He's eyes turned slightly red.
When she gave birth to Xiaobao, that scumbag didn’t even give her a bowl of hot water.
If I had met Chen Wan earlier, maybe I would have been like Afu Niang and decisively thrown away that scumbag.
With tears in her eyes, she drank the bowl of porridge in big gulps.
Shen Wan looked at it and then injected her with oxytocin.
Madam He's condition is not good.
She was already weak and had been malnourished for a long time, so she was soon sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"No, I really have no strength left..." She gasped for breath and said in a crying voice.
Although Ranqiu has a good mental state, she is a girl after all, and this is her first time seeing a woman giving birth.
Seeing Madam He's frail appearance, she turned pale with fright and picked up a large basin of blood with trembling hands.
But since Shen Wan is willing to teach, then I have to learn seriously.
"Hold on a little longer." Shen Wan fed Madam He some spiritual spring water and encouraged her, "Think about the child in your belly, and then think about Xiaobao."
"What will they do if something happens to you?"
The fetus's head is about to come out, so it is not suitable for a caesarean section at this time.
After hearing this, Madam He started crying.
"But I really can't do it anymore." She said hoarsely, choking with sobs, "Girl, if anything happens to me, Xiaobao will be left to you."
"I don't want it!" Shen Wan's face darkened and she flatly refused, "You should raise your own child yourself. Are you really willing to hand him over to an outsider?"
"Besides, I'm not married yet, so I don't know how to take care of children."
"I still have to go to the Northwest. The conditions there are harsh and there are wolves everywhere. Are you sure you want your child to go to such a bitter and cold place?"
"Give birth, you must give birth to the child!"
It's not that she is cruel, she just has no choice but to do this.
If there was nothing left in this world that Madam He cared about, she was afraid she would give up.
Besides, Madam He’s condition is not too bad. As long as we persist, there is hope.
When she thought of Xiaobao, a light immediately appeared in Madam He's dim eyes.
Yes, she would never feel comfortable leaving her child to someone else!
She wants to live!
Thinking of this, Madam He let out a shrill scream like a she-wolf.
With a little effort, the baby was finally born.
Due to premature birth and long-term malnutrition, the child was thin and small, and even his cry was as weak as a kitten.
"It's a girl." After Shen Wan washed and wrapped the child, she brought her to Madam He. "She's very beautiful and looks a lot like you."
"You give her a name."
Although she was a country woman, Mrs. He could read and write quite a few words.
She looked at the wrinkled little figure and smiled tiredly: "You gave us both our lives, so naturally you have to choose the name."
Name it?
When Shen Wan heard this, she was so scared that she almost dropped the child in her hands.
Oh my God, why do these people like to make things difficult for her?
The last time I named Ranqiu, I had used up all my life's talents.
But now, Madam He is about to pass this hot potato to herself again!
At this time, Xiaobao's crying was heard outside.
Shen Wan's eyes lit up: "Yes, let's call her Xiaozhu!"
"These siblings, one small bomb and one small bamboo, make a perfect match for firecrackers!"
"And since you make firecrackers, this name is perfect."
Madam He pondered for a while.
"Xiao Zhu?" She thought for a moment and smiled weakly, "That's a good name."
She was so tired that she just wanted to sleep, and her eyelids could hardly be kept open.
"I'm glad you like it. You can take a rest first." Shen Wan looked at it and said.
Madam He refused to do so.
She forced herself to cheer up and shook her head: "No, I still have to take care of the children."
"You girls, how can you read it?"
When Xiaobao was born, the scumbag didn’t care at all.
After the midwife left, she took care of the child by herself.
She thought, now she can do it too.
"Although Ranqiu and I can't take care of the child, don't we have others?" Shen Wan smiled, "Just rest assured and take care of the baby. Don't worry about other things."
After hearing this, Madam He closed her eyes peacefully.
Seeing this, Shen Wan said to Ran Qiu, "Tell Ah Fu Niang to come and help."
"You stay too and make some chicken soup for Madam He."
"If she or the child feels unwell, please inform me immediately."
Ranqiu nodded and immediately called Afu's mother in.
Afu Niang was already feeling extremely guilty about Madam He's premature birth, and now that she could help, she agreed without even thinking about it.
"You have experience, so please take care of the child for a while." Shen Wan carefully handed the child to Ah Fu Niang and whispered, "Madam He just gave birth and has no milk. I'll go out and get some goat milk."
After hearing this, Ah Fu's mother quickly took the child over.
After arranging everything in the house, Shen Wan walked out.
As soon as she went out, Xiaobao grabbed her sleeve and asked crying, "Sister, is my mother okay? I want to see her!"
"Don't worry, your mother and sister are fine." Shen Wan touched his furry little head and said with a smile.
"It's a sister?" Xiaobao's eyes widened, he couldn't help but feel surprised and happy, "I have a sister?"
"Yes, you're a brother now." Shen Wan said with a smile, "The little sister is so beautiful, but she's already asleep. Can we go see her when she wakes up?"
After hearing this, Xiaobao nodded immediately.
Now that he is an older brother, he is a big boy and he cannot disturb his mother and sister's rest.
"Is giving birth so scary?" Ling Xiaoxiao also came forward and looked at Shen Wan with horror, "I heard Madam He screaming miserably outside."
"And Ranqiu came out and poured out several large basins of blood. Giving birth actually involves so much blood!"
After hearing this, Shen Wan's cold eyes passed over the faces of the men like a dragonfly skimming the water: "Yes, giving birth is very dangerous."
"Giving birth is like going through hell for every woman, so men must treat their women well."
"Don't say that every woman has to give birth to a child, but she can choose not to give birth to a child for you."
After hearing this, the men felt extremely uncomfortable in every pore of their body.
This was undoubtedly addressed to them.
Xie Mubai nodded: "Wan'er, let's not have any more children from now on."
He was not present when Mrs. Qin had a difficult delivery last time, so he did not experience it firsthand.
But today is different.
As soon as he thought about the little woman having to go through the gates of hell alone like Madam He, he suddenly lost interest in the child.
What do you want children to do?
As long as the young couple can grow old together, it doesn't seem to matter whether they have children or not.
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but glance at him.
I really didn't expect that the villain would be so open-minded that he didn't even care about the important matter of continuing the Xie family's lineage.
"You are tired too, go back and rest." Seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, Xie Mubai stepped forward to support her and said with concern.
Shen Wan shook her head: “Madam He has no milk, I will go get her some goat milk.”
"Leave it to me!" the boss said immediately, "I know a sheep farmer."
Before he finished speaking, he left like a flash.
Seeing that the goat milk had been found, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai returned to the inn.
Anyway, it's only one street away, so she can get there quickly if anything happens.
"Where's the drunkard?" Shen Wan asked as soon as she entered the door.
