Chapter 217: I'm afraid of a difficult birth
Xie Qiujin's face turned serious, and she whispered in her ear, "I heard she had a difficult birth and lost a lot of blood."
"Difficult labor? Heavy bleeding?" After hearing these two words, Sang Yu planned to turn around and walk back.
She would rather face Sang Xingjia's questioning than deal with this matter. How could she, who had never been pregnant before, know how to deal with a woman in labor?
"Yu'er, wait a minute. The woman in labor is the eldest daughter of Village Chief Shen, and the person who came is his youngest daughter. It doesn't matter if you don't go. Come with me and we can explain everything to each other face to face."
Xie Qiujin naturally knew her own daughter's abilities. How could a girl who was still waiting to be married and had not yet reached the age of marriage have the ability to save someone in labor?
The villagers just believed everything they heard and exaggerated her abilities through rumors, which led to people now coming to her for help in cases of difficult childbirth.
"Village Chief Shen's daughter?"
Sang Yu paused in her movement to turn around, as she remembered the man who had come here once with Chen Yingshu.
His name seems to be Wang Shun. Was it because his wife had difficulty giving birth?
That's right, she remembered that Chen Yingshu called the other party brother-in-law. In this era, the bond formed by marriage is more stable than any other exchange of interests or money and power.
It seems that Wang Shun knows much more than she imagined.
In a short moment, Sang Yu's mind was full of thoughts. She seemed to have made up her mind and nodded in agreement: "Mom, I will go over and talk to her myself."
Before Sang Yu came closer, Chen Huirou, who had observed her in the dark, recognized her at a glance. She crawled forward on her knees while crying, hugged her legs and cried.
"Miss Sang, please save my sister, please save her."
Today, as usual, she brought homemade cakes to visit her sister at Wang Shun's house. Her sister, Chen Huitan, is now in the late stage of pregnancy, with a bulging belly and a heavy body.
Seeing her coming, he wanted to get up from the couch to greet her, but she quickly stepped forward and held him down: "Sister, you are heavy, lie down and rest for a while."
After persuading Chen Huitan, she looked around and frowned slightly: "Where are the maids at home? Why did you leave you alone at home? What if it starts?"
Although Qingxi Village looks like a poor village on the surface, in fact, many families have maids and servants who have signed indentures to serve them.
Except that they live in a more remote place, they are no worse than the rich people in the city in other aspects.
Wang Shun was busy traveling all year round, but he did not treat his wife badly and bought a little maid to serve her.
Chen Huitan held down Chen Huirou and looked around, trying to see if the little maid was hiding somewhere.
She advised gently, "Xiao Rou, I asked her to bring some snacks and fruits to my husband. Besides, it's not my due date yet, so it's not that easy to get started."
The two sisters were eating snacks and chatting privately, but they didn't expect Chen Huitan's expression to change suddenly. She grabbed Chen Huirou's hand with a pale face.
"Xiao Rou, hurry up and get Granny Zhang! I'm about to give birth!"
Chen Huirou didn't react at first, but when she saw the dark water marks on her sister's skirt, she immediately became nervous. Her water broke!
"Sister, how could that be? Isn't it time to start it yet?"
No matter how mature Chen Huirou acted, she was actually just a nine-year-old girl. She had never experienced such a thing before and was immediately panicked.
But she knew she couldn't waste time, so she said, "Sister, I'll bring Granny Zhang back right away."
Granny Zhang is the oldest, most experienced and strongest midwife in Lingnan City.
As early as when Shen Huitan reached the late stage of pregnancy, Wang Shun invited her from the city to live in Qingxi Village. The house she lived in was only six or seven households away from the Wang family.
Chen Huirou didn't care about etiquette or ladylike manners at this moment. She ran all the way with her skirt lifted up. Fortunately, she didn't accidentally fall on the road.
Arriving at the door of Granny Zhang's residence, she knocked hard and shouted inside: "Granny Zhang! Granny Zhang! My sister is starting a fire! Come out quickly!"
As she shouted, her voice began to unconsciously become tearful.
She didn't understand. Everything was fine when Grandma Zhang checked it before, so why did it suddenly start prematurely?
Granny Zhang was dragged all the way to the Wang family by her. Seeing the pale face of Chen Huitan and the amniotic fluid flowing from her body, she was not too nervous.
No one can control whether childbirth occurs early or late.
Besides, Chen Huitan is already nine months pregnant. Although the birth is a little earlier than expected, it is still within expectations.
However, after she checked Chen Huitan's abdomen with her hands, her originally calm mood disappeared in an instant.
Granny Zhang couldn't help but tremble as she spoke: "Mrs. Shen, go and call people, call the master's family and your parents. Tell them to send someone to the city to get a doctor. The baby's position is not right and I'm afraid it will be a difficult birth."
In many people's impressions, they probably think that the fetus is upside down from the beginning of pregnancy until it is born.
But in fact, the fetal position usually becomes fixed gradually in the late pregnancy, that is, after 32 weeks, and the specific time varies from person to person.
Some women even experience changes in fetal position before giving birth. Obviously, Chen Huitan is one of the unlucky ones whose fetal position has changed.
The last time Grandma Zhang examined her, she had confirmed that the fetus had turned head-down and was just waiting for labor to start and the fetus would enter the pelvis for delivery.
However, she didn't expect that when she checked again just now, the fetus was in a head-down position, and had already entered the pelvis and could basically no longer be adjusted by external force. This was an extremely obvious sign of dystocia.
If she's lucky, maybe both mother and child will be safe, but if she's unlucky... then her family might have to decide whether to save the adult or the child.
Grandma Zhang was anxious and couldn't help but curse inwardly, wondering why her luck was so bad.
She was hired as a midwife at a huge price. She didn't have to work for a whole month and was provided with food and drink. She was also expected to receive a generous reward after the baby was born. But in the end, such a mess happened.
When Chen Huirou heard the word "difficult labor," her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. How could this be? How could her sister have a difficult labor?
Although she had never given birth, she knew that giving birth was like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. If the delivery went smoothly, it would be fine, but if it was a difficult delivery, the woman would probably not survive.
Her elder sister had only been married for a little over a year, and her life was clearly getting better day by day. She should have lived a happy life, but how could this happen...
"Don't just stand there, go! Call a doctor, maybe there's still hope!"
Grandma Zhang's loud shout awakened Shen Huirou, who was immersed in sadness. She nodded repeatedly, got up and ran out quickly.
She knew that her brother-in-law must be outside the village at this time, and she would not be able to find him for a while, so she ran home immediately, and let her father make the decision on important matters.
She ran too fast and fell several times on the road. The pain made her eyes fill with tears, but she said nothing, got up and continued to rush home.
