Chapter 2111 Twins (Update)
Upon hearing this, Manbao immediately got out of the car with his medicine box and said to Xiao Yuanzheng, "Xiao Yuanzheng, I'll go with them first and won't go back to the Imperial Hospital."
Xiao Yuanzheng looked at the time. It was already afternoon, so it was okay to work the next morning shift, so he nodded and agreed.
Manbao took the horse from another guard, mounted it and left.
Doctor Xiao glanced at the guards who had been left behind and waved, "Let's go. I'll take you on your way."
"Thank you, sir."
Manbao rode his horse quickly to the Tang family. Fortunately, there was another city gate in the eastern suburbs. Once inside, it was the inner city. After passing through four blocks, they arrived.
Arriving at the Tang residence, the servant who had been waiting there immediately took the horse from her. A maid from Madam Tang's room was waiting there specifically for her. As soon as the person dismounted, she saluted and said, "Miss Man, our Madam has already started the horse."
Manbao followed her, carrying the medicine box, and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
Mammy said, "Everything is fine, except that it came twelve days earlier than you expected. Our lady is a little worried."
Manbao comforted her, "She's pregnant with twins, so it's normal for her to be pregnant earlier."
The nanny also had some experience in this area, and she knew early on that their wife was pregnant with twins, so the family members went out of their way to find out.
But when the time came, I was still a little panicked. After all, it is difficult to give birth to one baby, let alone twins?
When she arrived at the yard, Tang He was already waiting. He immediately came forward when he saw her and asked, "You're here?"
Manbao nodded and asked the nanny to get some hot water so she could wash her hands. Then she asked Tang He, "Brother Tang, aren't you going to the yamen?"
"I've asked for leave." Actually, he was absent from work, but he was the county magistrate. Who would accuse him of missing half a day's work? He just said he was going home to look for paperwork. No one could say he was wrong, right?
Manbao washed his hands before going in to see Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang's head and face were covered in sweat. She bit the cloth strips tightly to keep from making any sound. When she vaguely saw Zhou Man, her eyes brightened slightly.
The midwife and Zhou Man had become familiar with each other, as she had frequently visited Mrs. Tang's home to check on her. Furthermore, Doctor Zhou was a renowned midwife in the capital, having successfully delivered two expectant mothers at a young age, one of whom had undergone a laparotomy.
So the midwife immediately stepped aside to let her see, saying, "Doctor Zhou, Madam is dizzy and has no strength."
Manbao first checked on the delivery situation, then felt her pulse and asked, "How long has the attack lasted?"
A midwife looked at the hourglass and said, "It's been three-quarters of an hour."
It's neither too long nor too short. This is her second child, so the delivery should be faster.
Manbao asked Madam Tang softly, "Does my sister-in-law have trouble breathing?"
Mrs. Tang also knew that something was wrong with her. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what's wrong. I've been feeling dizzy for the past two days. Just now, when the amniotic fluid came out, I simply lost all my strength."
Manbao comforted her, "It's okay. I'll give you a few injections and you'll drink a bowl of medicine. Just save your strength for now. The amniotic fluid is still sufficient, so the baby will be fine for now."
After saying that, he turned around and went to write a prescription. After handing it to the maid, he said, "Prepare it quickly. Hurry up."
When the maid heard this, she did not dare to delay and immediately took the prescription and ran out.
Manbao opened the needle bag and gave Mrs. Tang an acupuncture. Soon after the needle was inserted, she felt slightly refreshed and her breathing felt much smoother.
Manbao looked at her face, felt her pulse, and then continued to take out the needle, but he stabbed it into her head.
The two midwives were stunned. Wasn't it a birth? Why did they pierce the head instead of the stomach?
Manbao inserted six needles into her head. Seeing her eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep, he touched her belly and whispered to the two midwives, "I feel that the baby's position has not changed."
"Yes, Doctor Zhou taught Madam the correct movements, so the fetus has always been in the correct position."
Manbao nodded with satisfaction and took out the needle again to make the baby more comfortable in the belly, so that Mrs. Tang could have more time.
The room suddenly became quiet. After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Manbao finally took out the needle. Mrs. Tang closed her eyes briefly and when she opened them again, she looked much more energetic. The maid also brought up the medicine that had been prepared urgently.
They also soaked the medicine in cold water to reduce its temperature. Now the medicine temperature is just right, and she handed it to Mrs. Tang to drink.
After drinking the medicine, Manbao looked at her belly and said, "I'll rub it for you. When you feel stronger, just listen to the midwife and push harder."
Mrs. Tang nodded.
Manbao touched her bulging belly. Perhaps it was because Zhou Man had removed the needle, or perhaps it was because of the medicine, but her originally quiet belly began to move again. Mrs. Tang felt a piercing pain, but she knew that this was actually a good thing, indicating that the child was very healthy now.
Manbao massaged her several times, and Mrs. Tang couldn't help but cry out in pain. She immediately gave her place to one of the midwives. The midwife took a look at the opened cervix and immediately said, "Okay, Madam, let's take a deep breath first, hold it, hold it, okay, sink down hard, sink down..."
Mrs. Tang gritted her teeth and pushed hard. The midwife said happily, "Yes, you used the right strength. Congratulations, madam. You have the strength now. Just a few more pushes and the baby will come out..."
Manbao continued to rub her belly, occasionally pushing it to support the baby in her belly. With two midwives guiding her, the first baby was born quickly.
The midwife carefully caught the baby, cut the umbilical cord, and handed it to another midwife, then continued to check the belly...
Manbao also touched his belly and said to Mrs. Tang, whose eyes were a little distracted, "There is one more. We can take a break for a while."
After saying that, he took out the needle and gave her a few injections. Mrs. Tang, whose face was a little pale, regained a little spirit. The midwife looked at her in amazement. If they had this ability, how many more lives could be saved by delivering babies?
Of the women who died during childbirth, half did so because of malposition of the fetus, and the other half because of lack of strength.
Mrs. Tang had been dizzy since she started giving birth, which was obviously the second type. They hadn't held out much hope in the first place.
This time, Manbao only inserted the needle for about half an hour, then whispered to Mrs. Tang, "First, slowly regulate your breathing, and then follow the midwife."
The midwife immediately came to her senses. The first child had already been born, and the second one could not stay in the womb for too long, otherwise it would suffocate to death.
Mrs. Tang nodded, took a few deep breaths, and followed the midwife's instructions.
Manbao gave her a massage, and after a while, there was finally movement in her stomach. Perhaps because the first baby was born, the second one would come out easily.
The midwife was shocked when the child was born and she glanced at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man also saw the child. He was very small, only slightly bigger than the midwife's palm.
She frowned, took the child from her hands, cleaned the filth from his mouth and nose, touched his chest, felt the soft heartbeat, nodded, and whispered, "Take care of the lady first."
