Chapter 1279: Taking a son
Manbao put down the knife, gently reached in, carefully touched the child, then lifted the child out by the feet. His other hand skillfully slid down and supported the child's neck and head, and soon he took him out.
No one expected it to happen so quickly. Doctors Liu and Xiao were stunned for a moment. Manbao glanced at them and said, "What are you standing there for? Cut the umbilical cord quickly."
Before they could move, the midwife and Nanny Li, who were weak in the arms and legs, were the first to react. They immediately took a pair of scissors and stepped forward to cut the umbilical cord with swift hands and feet.
Nanny Li took a piece of soft cotton cloth and wrapped the child. The two of them immediately took the child down to wash him, removed the dirt from his mouth and nose, and then felt a little helpless while holding the child.
At this moment they should have patted the child and then shouted the good news, but when they turned around and saw Doctor Zhou still busy with the Fifth Lady, they did not dare to shout.
But the child obviously felt the change in environment and couldn't help moving, then let out a slight cry.
Li Sanlang, who was standing outside the screen, was stunned by the sound of the baby crying. He turned stiffly to look at Doctor Liu and Doctor Tan, and asked uncertainly, "Did you hear the baby crying?"
Madam Han finally shifted her gaze from the wooden couch and looked at the midwife and Madam Li. "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The midwife finally regained her composure and said happily, "Congratulations, madam, it's a boy."
Then she exchanged a glance with Nanny Li, immediately washed the child with warm water, swaddled the child, and took him out to show Li Sanlang.
Li Sanlang was stunned. "So fast? It's only been a few moments. Where's Fifth Lady? How is she?"
"This..." Nanny Li said in embarrassment, "Third Master, we don't understand it either, but judging from Doctor Zhou's expression, he seems to be fine."
Madam Han also turned her gaze back to the wooden couch. After Manbao took the child out, he immediately cleaned the placenta. Doctors Liu and Xiao, also unmarried women, watched with pale faces, their hands trembling as they helped to stop the bleeding and clean up the blood...
Doctor Xiao's face became paler and paler. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She took a step back, put down her things and ran out. After a while, the sound of her vomiting could be heard from outside.
Manbao looked up at Doctor Liu and saw that although she was also pale, she could still hold on. So he continued to lower his head to deal with the matter at hand.
After cleaning the placenta and confirming that there were no other problems, Manbao nodded and said, "Go get the needle and thread."
Doctor Liu immediately turned around to get the needle and thread for suture. The catgut thread she used was extremely thin, at least Doctor Liu had never seen such thin thread before. She gave it to Manbao.
As Manbao was threading the needle, he asked, "Old Doctor Tan?"
Doctor Tan said, "Nothing serious, the pulse is still good."
Manbao nodded and said that she had to suture the uterus first. She stopped and observed for a while to make sure there was no active bleeding in the uterus before she started to suture.
Doctor Liu used gauze to stop the bleeding in her abdominal cavity. The two of them gradually cooperated smoothly, and Doctor Xiao quickly changed into new clothes and came in.
Manbao said to her, "Go and look after the child."
Doctor Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, telling her that there was no need to go forward. She turned around to check on the child.
The child was in the hands of Doctor Liu. He had already examined the child and confirmed that the child was a little weak due to premature birth, but there were no other major problems. At this time, he was watching the midwife and Nanny Li wrapping the child tightly in swaddling clothes.
Li Sanlang outside the screen was extremely anxious. How come it had been so long since the baby was taken out, but the inside was still not healed?
Han Shangshu, who was waiting outside the house, was even more anxious. He knew that the child had been taken out. He could hear the child crying through the door, but there was still no movement from the person inside.
Only Madam Han remained calm, because she could clearly see Zhou Man sewing with needle and thread...
She found it strange. Could a belly be sewn up like clothes? Not to mention the contents...
She couldn't help but take two steps forward, but she still couldn't see clearly. She only saw that she seemed to be sewing something like a membrane.
Manbao moved his neck to make it feel a little more comfortable, then continued to work with his head down.
About a quarter of an hour later, she finally sutured the myometrium and serosa of the uterus, and then she went to suture the abdominal cavity.
She carefully separated and sutured the muscles, fascia, etc., and after nearly two quarters of an hour, she finally sutured the abdomen.
Mrs. Han's feet were tired from standing.
Doctor Liu's complexion had returned to normal. She took out some medicine and applied it to her and bandaged her together with Manbao. Then they began to clean the blood off the patient's body.
Nanny Li walked forward weakly and helped Han Wu Niang put on her clothes. After covering her with the quilt, she saw that she was still not awake, so she couldn't help but reach out to check her breath.
Manbao looked at her speechlessly. Seeing her breathe a sigh of relief after trying to breathe, he couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Is it alive?"
Nanny Li finally came to her senses and smiled at Man Bao with an embarrassed look on her face.
Manbao smiled, not caring too much. She untied the silk thread on her hand, reached out and felt her pulse herself, and said, "She should wake up in a while, but we can't let our guard down just yet. Let's talk about it in three days."
Manbao turned around and walked out from behind the screen. Li Sanlang was about to rush in to see her, but Manbao stopped him slightly and said, "You can go in, but from now on it's best not to have too many people in this room. Only a few of you can go in and out every day to avoid contaminating her wound."
Li Sanlang fell silent for a moment. He didn't rush forward to check. Instead, he stood on tiptoe to take a look and asked, "Is she okay?"
"The operation went smoothly, but we have to be careful not to let her get infected or irritated. The former will cause inflammation and death, and the latter will cause heavy bleeding."
Madam Han, who had just taken a look at her sister and confirmed that she was indeed still alive, was immediately shocked when she heard this and decided to stay here at night to prevent other people in the Li Mansion from crowding in to watch the fun and disturbing her.
Although Doctor Tan and Doctor Liu did not see the operation, they listened to the pulse for more than half an hour and decided to call Doctor Liu and Doctor Xiao to talk to them later.
Manbao turned around and looked at the child. This was her first child born by caesarean section. She touched his little hand and after making sure there was no major problem, she went out to explain some things to Han Shangshu and Li Sanlang.
"She can't eat yet." Thinking of Han Wu Niangzi's thirst, Man Bao hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll stay here tonight and see if she can pass gas at night."
Minister Han breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked her, "Thank you very much, Miss Zhou."
Manbao then said, "It's best for her not to get pregnant again. A caesarean section is very harmful to the mother's body, and she wants to give birth naturally, but given her physical condition, it's difficult."
Minister Han looked at his son-in-law.
Li Sanlang immediately confessed, "I won't have a baby anymore. I'll definitely persuade her when she gets better."
Giving birth once cost him his life, so he doesn’t dare to do it a second time.
In this case, the child is very important, so Minister Han immediately went to get close to Doctor Tan.
See you at 8pm
