After the party with her sisters, before Tian An even reached home, she was stopped by a carriage from the Luo family, which lived next to the house they had bought on Donglin Street.
Xiangtao, who was supposed to be in the mansion, jumped off Luo Fu's carriage.
"Miss, the wife of the Luo family went into labor at noon, and they came to the mansion to ask you for help in delivering the baby. I didn't know when you would be back, so I took the initiative to bring them here with your medicine box." Xiang Tao explained concisely.
Upon hearing this, Tian An hurriedly took Deng Xue and Xiang Tao to the Luo Mansion's carriage. He also praised Xiang Tao, "You did a good job this time. You should act decisively when encountering problems, especially when human lives are at stake."
It was rare to hear Tian An praise her, and the little girl was very happy.
After picking up the person, the butler gave an order and the coachman immediately drove the carriage to Luo Mansion.
On the way, the butler kept apologizing, "My wife is in urgent need of help, and the carriage is moving fast, so it's inevitable that it's a bit bumpy. I'm really sorry for neglecting you, my lord."
"It's okay!" Tian An is not a delicate person, and human life is at stake, so she can't care about these things. Not only does she not blame the housekeeper, but she urges the housekeeper to go faster.
In fact, when she first learned that Mrs. Luo was pregnant, she had already calculated her due date and originally recommended that she have a caesarean section in advance.
After all, she is old, and she is pregnant with twins. The later it gets, the harder it will be and the greater the risk.
But Mrs. Luo was unwilling to do so. She thought that taking the baby out too early would be unfair to the baby and deprive it of its right to be in the mother's womb. She insisted on waiting until the baby was full-term and came out on its own.
Originally, Tian An calculated that there were still three days before the due date, but it was normal for a baby to be delivered about a week before or after the due date. However, when Tian An arrived at the Luo Mansion, he found out that Mrs. Luo was frightened and the fetus was in labor.
As soon as he arrived at the Luo Mansion, Tian An first carefully examined Mrs. Luo's condition.
Seeing Tian An frowning, Mrs. Luo, who was already sweating profusely from the pain, asked in a trembling voice: "Xiang Jun, what, what happened? Is it the child..."
Tian An looked at her face, which had turned pale from the pain, and said solemnly, "Your cervix is only four fingers dilated now. If you insist on choosing a natural birth, you may have to wait for a few more hours.
But your amniotic fluid is almost drained. If you wait any longer, the baby in your belly may suffocate.
Besides, you're already very weak. By the time your cervix is fully dilated, you probably won't have the energy to give birth. Furthermore, you're pregnant with twins, which will require twice as much energy as others. Both you and the child will be in danger."
Tian An knew that Mrs. Luo had always preferred a natural birth. After all, the term "C-section" was still unfamiliar in that era, and anyone would be afraid of having such a large incision made on their stomach.
But Mrs. Luo’s current condition is indeed not optimistic. If the child is not taken out quickly, the consequences will be serious.
She couldn't make decisions for others, she could only explain the seriousness of the situation to them and let them think about it.
Lord Luo was waiting outside. When Tian An said this, he listened carefully. After thinking for a moment, he began to persuade Mrs. Luo, "Madam, just listen to the Lord! Don't be afraid. Your husband will always be guarding you outside."
When Tian An proposed a caesarean section, Lord Luo was also shocked at first. After all, there was no precedent for this, and he did not take it seriously, thinking it was just Tian An's imagination.
But later, as Mrs. Luo's belly grew bigger, it was diagnosed that she was pregnant with twins.
In addition, every time they asked the doctor to take their pulse, the doctor had a gloomy expression and hinted in his words that his wife was old and this pregnancy might be dangerous, so he began to worry.
In a state of desperation, he thought of Tian An's confident statement that a caesarean section could keep mother and child safe.
Although he still felt it was unbelievable, for the safety of his wife and children, he ordered someone to investigate.
I didn't know until I checked, and I was shocked to find out that the caesarean section was not just Tian An's imagination.
She had performed the same operation on a woman who had a difficult childbirth a few years earlier, and he had seen the child who had been delivered by the operation with his own eyes when he was a guest at the Earl's Mansion. The child was bright, lively and active, and there was no problem at all.
In addition to this, Tian An also performed a craniotomy on his father.
She wasn't bragging; she was really sure.
The couple had actually discussed the caesarean section many times in private, although Mrs. Luo had always insisted on giving birth herself.
But she knew her own body well. If she insisted on doing so, not only would it harm the child, but she herself might also die.
Without thinking too much, Mrs. Luo nodded.
Seeing that the couple agreed, Tian An breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that Mrs. Luo would not listen and that a tragedy would happen. After all, she couldn't force the surgery on someone without their consent.
After quickly completing the preoperative preparations, Tian An drove all the midwives and maids out of the room and asked them to wait for the baby outside.
Seeing that everyone had come out, Lord Luo became a little anxious and shouted towards the inner room: "County Master! Can you do it alone? Let them help you inside!"
"Most women are timid. This is their first time seeing such a scene. They might be frightened during the cesarean section. Not only will they be unable to help, but they might even cause more trouble. So, just let them wait outside to receive the child."
Tian An's voice came from the inner room. Lord Luo looked at the maids and old women who lowered their heads with shame on their faces and dared not speak, and he had nothing to say. The facts were indeed as Tian An said.
Tian An was planning to move Mrs. Luo into the space, but he was afraid that someone would break in during the operation and see what was going on, so he simply asked Deng Xue and Xiang Tao to guard the door and not let anyone in.
Tian An covered Mrs. Luo's eyes with a piece of cloth, saying that he was going to have surgery soon and was afraid that she would be scared. She only felt that the surroundings seemed to be much quieter.
Knowing that Tian An used acupuncture to anesthetize her, she thought it was the effect of acupuncture, but she didn't expect that she was already in Tian An's space at this time.
Tian An turned on the sound speaker function of the space, so people outside could hear what people inside were saying.
They didn't dare to make any noise to disturb Tian An while he was performing the operation, but they could hear Tian An constantly comforting Mrs. Luo and asking her to relax.
Mrs. Luo could be heard responding to Tian An from time to time, and her voice did not sound as painful as before.
Lord Luo was puzzled, so he asked his servants to call Xiangtao, who looked easy to talk to, to ask her. Only then did he know that Tian An could use acupuncture and anesthesia to make the patient feel no pain.
If you can give birth to a child without pain, that would naturally be best.
Thinking of the unbearable pain his wife had suffered before, Lord Luo really regretted not listening to Tian An's advice earlier. If he had chosen a caesarean section at the beginning, perhaps his wife would have suffered less.
Soon, the cry of a baby was heard from the inner room, and everyone excitedly rushed forward and gathered in front of the door.
Fortunately, Deng Xue was guarding the door, so they did not forget Tian An's instructions because of a momentary impulse.
As the cry of babies was heard for the second time in the house, Tian An had successfully taken both children out.
