The next day, Tian An was about to go out to find Mr. Han and tell him that Sister Rong was asking about him.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I ran into Akiyama who was in a hurry.
"An An, my mother is about to give birth. The midwife said that the fetus is in an abnormal position and may have a difficult delivery."
"You're still asking my father to protect the elderly and children. You're such a good doctor, can you help me save my mother? I, I kneel down for you..."
Qiu Shan was about to kneel down when he spoke, but Tian An stopped him. "What are you doing? We have such a good relationship, how can I just stand by and watch someone die? Aren't you embarrassing me?"
Seeing that he was deeply moved and was about to say thank you, Tian An interrupted him and said, "Okay, we can talk about it later. First, tell me about your aunt's situation."
Tian An was talking as he hurried to Qiu Shan's house. Along the way, Qiu Shan also briefly summarized his mother's situation.
Qiushan's mother started to go into labor before dawn in the morning. Qiushan and his grandfather immediately asked a midwife from the neighboring village of wounded soldiers and Uncle Yonghui's wife to help with the delivery.
Gangzi's wife also hired this midwife when she gave birth last time. She is the most experienced midwife in the village.
But she came out not long after she went in and said, "Akiyama's baby is in an abnormal position. I'm afraid it will be a difficult birth. Let everyone be mentally prepared."
He also said that just in case, everyone should think about how to protect the big and the small.
In an era of insufficient medical conditions, a difficult delivery was equivalent to a death sentence for the pregnant woman, and she was basically out of luck.
Everyone was scared half to death by these words.
When the midwife came to ask for the second time, Qiushan's father made the difficult choice of Baoda. He and Qiushan's mother already had a child, and he could not give up Qiushan's mother for a second child.
When Qiu Shan's mother learned of his decision, she was naturally happy, as the head of the family had her in his heart.
But she could never give up the child she had carried for ten months.
She immediately begged the midwife to keep the baby, saying that she would give birth to the child for the head of the family even at the risk of her life, and also leave a blood-related brother or sister for Akiyama.
Akiyama was boiling water in the kitchen, fantasizing that he would soon have a warm and cozy sister.
But unexpectedly, Dashu's sister, Nini, suddenly ran in and told him that his mother had a difficult delivery and the situation was very serious. Her mother wanted to save the baby, so she asked him to go out and take a look.
Qiu Shan was stunned for a moment, his face pale. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly remembered that when he was in the general's mansion, he accidentally heard that Tian An had delivered a woman who had a difficult labor.
He almost ran away, fearing that if he was a step slower, his mother and sister would be gone.
When Tian An and Qiu Shan arrived, the yard was full of people.
They all came to visit because they knew that Qiushan's mother was having a difficult delivery.
Looking at the packed courtyard, Qiu Shan shouted, "Everyone, make way! I'm calling the doctor."
The crowd instantly stood to both sides, leaving a path in the middle.
When Tian An successfully entered the delivery room, everyone came to their senses. Yes! Why didn't they think of looking for Tian An? She is such a good doctor. She can cure smallpox. Difficult labor should be no problem for her!
Seeing Qiu Shan panting from exhaustion, Qiu Shan's father walked over and patted him on the shoulder solemnly, "Son, you have grown up and can take on tasks now."
The people beside him also praised: "Yes! We were all so anxious that we lost our minds. Fortunately, Qiushan is a sober kid."
"With him going to invite An Anlai in time, Qiu Shanniang will definitely be able to get through this safely."
Inside the house, when Qiu Shan's mother saw Tian An come in, she felt like she had found her backbone. "An An, please help me keep this child! I've been waiting for him for so many years, I can't give up at this critical moment."
Tian An patted her hands and nodded in response: "Okay."
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Tian An's assurance.
But Tian An's subsequent words gave her hope, because she said, "Auntie must be well too. Only when you are well can this family be well."
Qiu Shan's mother recovered well, and the delivery conditions were good. She arrived just in time, without any delays. As long as the fetus was positioned correctly, she could give birth on her own, without even needing a cesarean section.
After Tian An examined her, he placed his hand on her abdomen and said, "Auntie, I'll help you straighten the fetus' position. It might be a little uncomfortable, so please bear with it."
"Can the fetal position be corrected?" the midwife asked in disbelief.
Aunt Li, Yonghui's uncle's wife, couldn't believe it, but also looked forward to it: "Yes! If the fetus can be positioned right, mother and child will definitely be safe!"
Qiu Shan's mother saw hope and looked at Tian An's hand excitedly and said, "Auntie is not afraid. An An, as long as we can be saved, I am not afraid of suffering."
Tian An smiled and nodded at her: "Don't worry, auntie, I'm here and I will definitely not let anything happen to you and your mother."
Tian An felt around Qiu Shan's mother's belly with his hands, and after determining the position of the fetus's head and hands, he began to help her correct the fetal position.
Seeing that the midwife couldn't help but slack off, Tian An simply asked her to stand aside and explained the key points to her while she was doing the movements.
Seeing that Tian An was willing to teach her and that she was studying seriously, the midwife asked Tian An directly if she didn't understand something, and Tian An explained it to her carefully.
She is not afraid that the midwife will learn her skills, she just hopes that she can learn well, so that in the future delivery process, the probability of fetal death can be reduced, the harm of childbirth to pregnant women can be reduced, and thus help more families.
"Um……"
With a muffled groan from Qiushan's mother, the fetus's feet were facing up and its head was facing down, and the fetal position was corrected.
The midwife said excitedly: "It's done, the fetal position is really corrected."
"The fetal position has been corrected. The next thing is up to you." Tian An looked at the midwife and said.
The midwife nodded solemnly and hurried to check the birth canal. "The cervix isn't fully dilated yet. We have to wait a little longer."
Tian An nodded, pulled over a bench and sat beside Akiyama's mother to talk and relieve her tension.
"Auntie, if you're in severe pain, please tell me and I can help relieve the pain for you."
Qiu Shan's mother thought she was comforting herself, and she smiled while enduring the pain in her abdomen, "Giving birth is always painful! As long as you can save your life, I am already satisfied."
Tian An knew that she didn't believe him, so he didn't explain and decided to wait until she was about to give birth before giving her acupuncture.
Half an hour later, the contractions became more and more frequent, and Akiyama's mother could no longer hold back and cried out.
Seeing this, Tian An asked the midwife about the condition of the birth canal. Estimating that the time was almost up, he took out a needle bag from his bag, took out three silver sticks and inserted them into the acupuncture points.
Akiyama-san, who had been in unbearable pain, suddenly felt no pain at all. "This..."
Qiu Shan's mother was startled, "An An, why am I suddenly no longer in pain?"
"I've used silver needles to seal your acupuncture points, so you won't feel any pain. Just relax and rest for a while. Then just follow the midwife's instructions and apply force."
Seeing that Qiu Shan Niang's face showed no sign of pain at all, Aunt Li asked her curiously, "Qiu Shan Niang! Are you really not in any pain at all?"
Akiyama's mother shook her head, "I really can't."
"Giving birth without pain is the first time I've ever seen this! An An, you're really a miracle doctor!" Aunt Li looked at Tian An with a sincere face.
That look was as if he was looking at the gods in the sky.
