Chapter 1664 Smooth
Manbao nodded. While waiting for the hot water to boil, she felt Cui's pulse and then her belly. She was relieved to find that the baby was in a normal position. She smiled at the nervous Cui and said, "Xue's wife, it's okay. I checked. The baby is safe in your belly. You can take a break first."
Cui's face was originally pale. She was in great pain from being massaged by the two midwives and was already on edge. But when she saw Manbao, she was indeed relieved.
She forced a laugh, her face covered in sweat, "Are you really okay?"
Manbao smiled and nodded, "It's okay, the due date is in these few days anyway, so it's not considered premature. Just relax, it's nothing serious."
After feeling the fetal position, Manbao opened the medicine box and took out the needle bag. He smiled and said, "I'll give you two injections to relieve the pain. Take a deep breath for now. We'll continue when you have more strength."
"child……"
Manbao could only comfort her, "It's okay."
She wants to give birth naturally, so she can't be too nervous. Once a person becomes tense, not only will the cervix contract, making delivery difficult, but it can also easily cause harm to herself and the baby.
After Han Wuniang gave birth, Manbao learned a lot from the experienced midwives in the capital and Yongzhou City.
Manbao glanced at the midwives hired by the Yang family and felt deeply that their ability to respond was not as good as that of the midwives hired by the Li and Han families.
Manbao twisted the needle and gave Cui an acupuncture. The midwives saw that not only did Cui's complexion become more relaxed and she was no longer in so much pain, but the amniotic fluid also rarely flowed out. They knew that Zhou Man's acupuncture was more than just a pain reliever.
Manbao twirled the needles without asking how or why Cui had fallen. She gave a series of instructions, asking for the preparation of some medicinal herbs and a clean white cloth.
In a moment, two quarters of an hour passed, and Yingyue brought in a bowl of hot medicine.
Manbao took a look and without her having to say anything, Yingyue scooped the medicine into a spoon, blew on it, and then fed it to Cui.
When Manbao saw that Cui was actually frowning and drinking it spoonful by spoonful, she frowned and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Forget it, there is nothing wrong with drinking it spoonful by spoonful except that it is a little bitter.
Cui drank the whole bowl of medicine, and then lay down with Yingyue's support. After she lay down, Manbao changed the needles for her and gave her another set of acupuncture techniques to promote the effect of the medicine.
The medicine took effect in a short while. The stomach, which had been motionless, moved a few times. Cui looked at it in surprise. The child had not moved since she fell, and she was scared.
The midwife was surprised and said, "The cervix has opened..."
Cui also felt the pain. Manbao pulled out the needle, held her hand and said, "Xuesao, save your strength and don't scream. Follow the midwife's breathing. We will hold the breath first and then use force..."
Cui's pregnancy was going well. Although it looked a little large, it was still within an acceptable range. Most importantly, she and Manbao had taken care of her body and had paid attention to exercise during her pregnancy. As long as her cervix was open and the fetus was in the right position, Manbao gave her some gentle pressure to relieve the pain, and she gave birth quickly...
The baby was born within just three quarters of an hour of the cervix opening. Cui lay sprawled on the bed, seemingly only able to breathe.
The midwife quickly caught the baby, cut the umbilical cord and tied a knot, then removed the dirt from the baby's mouth and nose, and patted his little butt. The baby felt pain and immediately burst into tears.
Manbao and another midwife had already started to stop the bleeding...
Hearing the child's cry, Cui Shi became slightly more alert and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is the child?"
The midwife quickly brought the child forward and showed it to Cui, saying happily, "It's a young man, fair and plump, and he looks very good."
Cui was barely able to take a quick look before the midwife took her away to be cleaned.
Manbao saw that although the blood flow had decreased, it was still more than usual. After thinking about it, he turned around and wrote a prescription for Yingyue, "Go get the medicine and boil it."
Yingyue quickly took the prescription and agreed, going down with weak hands and feet.
Manbao didn't want to tell Cui about this, so he smiled at her calmly and said, "Xuesao, you must be tired. Go to sleep first. I'll make some medicine for you later and you'll be fine."
Cui felt relieved after giving birth, and the tearing sensation in her body didn't even affect her, so she smiled and nodded, unaware of her injuries.
She was indeed extremely tired, and coupled with her weak body, she fell into a drowsy sleep without realizing it.
Manbao felt her pulse and gave her an acupuncture. He glanced at the midwife and nodded slightly to her.
The midwife bowed and went out, speaking to the Marquis' wife and Yang Heshu who were waiting outside, "Madam is bleeding a bit heavily, but Doctor Zhou is now controlling it somewhat. Please prepare the medicine as soon as possible. If you have any old ginseng, please bring some to Madam to replenish her energy."
Yang Heshu immediately turned around and ordered, "Go to the west cabinet in the warehouse and get the box of old ginseng."
The Marquis's wife's eyebrows jumped, and she said quickly, "I have a box of old ginseng here. It would be faster to go to the main courtyard. Madam, go back and get the box of old ginseng we used last time and cut some slices for the eldest lady."
"Madam, we appreciate your kindness. I'm afraid Cui will need it later to replenish her health, so we should take out the ginseng from the storehouse." After saying this, he turned to the steward waiting by the side and said, "Go and get it."
Of course, we have to listen to the master and the marquis’ wife. The steward bowed and left.
The Marquis's wife hesitated to speak, her face looking a little unhappy, but she quickly calmed down and turned to the midwife and said, "Where's the child? Bring the child out for me to see."
Yang Heshu said gently, "Don't worry, Madam. I heard the child crying quite loudly just now. He should be fine. It's late at night and there's dew outside. It's better not to let him out."
The Marquis's wife was choked again and could only smile and say yes.
The ginseng was delivered quickly. When the midwife opened it, she couldn't help but frown. It was the first time she had seen such good ginseng. It was almost in human shape. Even after being dried in the shade, you could still see its plump shape.
The midwife carefully cut off a piece and asked Cui to put it in her mouth and press it under the root of her tongue.
The medicine was delivered quickly. Cui was woken up and drank the medicine, and the bleeding slowly stopped.
Only then did Zhou Man and the midwives breathe a sigh of relief, and then everyone had time to look at the well-wrapped child beside them.
Aunt Cui had been waiting. Seeing that Zhou Man was free, she immediately carried the child forward and said, "Miss Zhou, please take a look at our young master. Why is there a small bruise on his head? Did he fall?"
Manbao reached out and touched it, and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be dropped, it seems to be pinched?"
The midwives took a look and said with certainty, "It was clamped. Did Madam fall and land on her stomach?"
"No, not really," Yingyue said, "I helped him up at the time. Yes, he fell sideways and landed here."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then he didn't fall. The baby was in the right position, with his head facing downwards. At most, he fell and hurt his feet."
Only then did Aunt Cui breathe a sigh of relief. After chanting "Wulian Tianzun", she said, "It's really the Taishang Laojun's blessing."
