Chapter 3087 Normal Fetal Position
The midwives' eyes widened in surprise and they looked at each other. "This...if it's twins, it would be much more dangerous."
Zhou Man looked at the most powerful midwife, Wang, and asked, "What do you think?"
Midwife Wang also felt the danger. "The child is more in danger. I see that although her belly is large, it is not large for twins. As long as the fetus is in the right position and she has enough strength, she should be able to give birth safely. But I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise a child like this."
"Newborns are generally difficult to raise, let alone twins."
Zhou Man nodded and asked, "Do you have any good ideas for correcting the fetal position?"
"This can only be straightened when she gives birth. She's already in this month, so it's hard to straighten it."
"Yeah, if we move a little more vigorously, what if we push her into early labor?"
Zhou Man then said, "I have three methods to correct the fetal position: one body movement, one hand movement, and one acupuncture. Do you want to learn? Also, how many of you can detect twins?"
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end only Wang Wenpo figured it out.
Zhou Man then said, "Then I'll teach you how to feel the fetus first."
She said, "You don't know how to take a pulse, but an experienced midwife can actually tell the number of babies born using her hands."
Except for midwife Wang, the other midwives' eyes lit up and they became slightly excited.
Wang Wenpo lowered her eyes and said nothing, but she quickly smiled and said, "I only vaguely figured it out, so it's not necessarily accurate."
Zhou Man smiled at her and said, "Then let's consolidate it this time."
Aunt Luo retreated and ran into the house to tell Mrs. Luo, "The doctor and the midwife said you are pregnant with twins!"
Her eyes widened. "What?"
"He also said that the fetal position is a little abnormal and he needs to correct it for you."
Mrs. Luo was a little anxious. "Why are they twins? My family has never had twins. Auntie, I, I won't die, right?"
"No, no, don't scare yourself. The female doctor just said it's not serious and you can give birth safely, but the baby might be difficult to raise." Aunt Luo paused and lowered her voice, "Your family hasn't given birth to twins, but your mother-in-law has."
Mrs. Luo was stunned. "My mother-in-law gave birth to twins?"
"Yes, they did, before Dalang. But they were hard to raise. One died when it was only three days old, and another died when it was only six months old. Before your Dalang, your parents-in-law gave birth to four children, but they didn't raise any of them."
Mrs. Luo thought of her two children who died young and remained silent.
Seeing her lower her head, Aunt Luo whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, you already have a son and a daughter. It doesn't matter if this couple can't stand together. The most important thing is to survive."
She said bluntly: "Da Lang has broken his leg now. If something happens to you again, who will the three children at home rely on? You can't get hurt for the sake of these three children, so just calm down and give birth here!"
Mrs. Luo touched her belly and said nothing.
Aunt Luo continued, "Sanlang has already inquired about it. This gentleman from the Medical Bureau is an imperial physician from the capital. He used to treat the emperor and empress. He is very skilled. You will definitely be able to survive if you give birth here, and it will be free of charge."
She sighed and said, "We really caught up with the right time. If we had given birth in the village, it would have been very dangerous to have twins. The village is remote and it would have been difficult to find a doctor..."
Mrs. Luo finally recovered and said with red eyes, "I know, I just feel bad all of a sudden. I carried this baby for ten months, and now you're saying you're going to die..."
When Zhou Man brought his men in, Mrs. Luo was wiping her tears with her head down.
Zhou Man quickly asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Luo shook her head. "No, doctor, no, sir, I've heard everything. I know what's good for me. I'll give birth here and won't leave. I'll trouble you in the future."
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but he still felt something was wrong. "Then... why are you crying?"
Mrs. Luo held her belly and said, "I can't bear it..."
As soon as she finished speaking, tears began to stream down her face. "Sir, I lost two children before. Do you think these two are the reincarnations of those two? Why can't I raise them?"
Zhou Man: "...I haven't given birth yet, how do you know I can't keep the baby?"
Mrs. Luo's eyes were red as she asked, "Didn't you say you couldn't support her?"
Zhou Man immediately denied: "No, I didn't say that!"
She said seriously, "Although twins are difficult to raise, they are only difficult. We haven't given birth yet, and haven't even seen the babies' physical condition. How can you say they can't be raised?"
Mrs. Luo looked at Aunt Luo.
Aunt Luo immediately slapped her face and said, "Oh, that was because I didn't explain it clearly. Niece-in-law, don't take it to heart. You should get well first and give birth to the child. When the time comes, we will take good care of it and we will definitely be able to raise it."
But she didn't find it easy.
Seeing that her emotions were gradually calming down, Zhou Man allowed the five people to come forward and watch her feel the fetus.
Zhou Man then instructed them step by step on how to detect twins. "Actually, it's best to check the pulse. That's the most accurate."
But midwives don’t know how to take pulses.
Although you can hear the beating of your pulse by placing your fingers on your hand, it is very difficult to learn to distinguish it.
Zhou Man also knew that it was difficult to learn. Even doctors who had been taking pulses for years could rarely diagnose twins, so Zhou Man did not force them.
After teaching for a while, Xibing came to her and said, "Madam, there are a few female patients in front, and they don't want to be seen by Doctor Tian and his colleagues."
Zhou Man nodded to them and said, "Think about it for a while. I'll come over and teach you how to correct the fetal position."
Zhou Man went to the front yard and saw the woman who came to seek medical treatment standing under the corridor looking around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her.
Zhou Man entered the clinic and waved them in.
Correcting the fetal position isn't easy, but it's actually not difficult. In Zhou Man's words, "The baby moves in the belly. It kicks, kicks, and turns over, turning the baby upside down. But the older the baby is, the harder it is to correct the fetal position. This is because the fetus is larger and can't move freely inside. If it moves around without a plan, the umbilical cord can easily get wrapped around the neck. So correcting the fetal position, especially when the baby is older, requires extra care."
Zhou Man instructed Mrs. Luo to change her posture and gently massaged her belly. After a long time, the baby in her belly seemed to wake up and was interested in playing with her, so he kicked her belly...
Zhou Man finally managed to move the fetus a little after much effort. The midwives immediately came forward to feel it, and after a while their eyes lit up. "It's much straighter now. Although it's not facing the cervix, it's understandable since it's twins."
“It makes production much easier this way.”
Mrs. Luo also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what they said.
