Chapter 3088 Mother and Child Are Safe
Zhou Man was happy when he returned to the county government office. With midwives now available, he could directly call them over when women were about to give birth. At least it would be free until they had learned how to do it.
The midwives were also happy when they left and went home. They were naturally happy to have learned so many skills for free. Not only would they be more confident when visiting households in the future, they would also be able to diagnose some symptoms before and after childbirth.
Zhou Man thought that Mrs. Luo would still have a few days to go before giving birth, but perhaps because of the shock she had received in the past two days and the long walk, Xiao Kou ran to the backyard of the county government office and knocked on the door in the early morning. He anxiously said to the doorman, "Mrs. Luo has gone into labor at the medical office."
When Zhou Man heard the noise, he quickly got up and went out.
Zheng was also alarmed and hurried out to see, "You are pregnant yourself, don't get tired if you go there now."
Bai Shan was also dressed. He took the cloak from Wu Yue and wrapped it around Zhou Man, saying, "Don't worry, mother. I will accompany her."
Xiao Qian came over and asked, "Do you want us to go over and take a look?"
Zheng nodded repeatedly and looked at Zhou Man.
"That's not necessary," Zhou Man said. "They must have called the midwife. Doctor Wei is also over there. We have enough people. Sister-in-law, you and mother should go and get some rest. It's still a while before dawn. Don't catch a cold."
Bai Shan hugged Zhou Man and went to the medical department. Daji simply harnessed the car for them and drove directly there. It was faster and saved them from walking around in the cold wind.
When we arrived at the hospital, the backyard was already bustling with activity.
This was the first woman to give birth in the medical department. Mrs. Shao was boiling water in the kitchen, and Doctor Wei was standing outside the delivery room, having people prepare various things.
Even Hu's mother came out and was accompanying the woman in labor in the room.
As soon as Zhou Man entered, he saw Aunt Luo and Mother Hu standing by the bed. Mrs. Luo was lying on the bed with a look of discomfort on her face.
Zhou Man stepped forward to take a look and nodded, "She's about to give birth. Have you called the midwives yet?"
Doctor Wei said from outside, "Hu Dalang and the others have gone to call them."
There are quite a few people living in the hospital, so there is enough staff.
Zhou Man responded, felt the Luo family lady's pulse, and said to her, "Very good, don't be afraid, everything is going well now, let her sit up higher..."
Zhou Man instructed Aunt Luo to help Mrs. Luo lie down, and five midwives arrived quickly.
Midwife Wang was the most skilled and experienced, so she immediately said, "We'll have to wait a little longer. Don't be afraid. This isn't your first birth. If you relax your cervix, it will open faster."
Mrs. Luo forced a smile and said, "Although I have given birth to many children, this is the first time I have given birth to twins."
Zhou Man comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the twins are still relatively small. I checked the fetal position and it hasn't changed much. I can massage you to relieve the pain later..."
Zhou Man gave the five people a wink, asking them to keep an eye on it for a while.
The midwives received the hint and nodded to show that they understood.
Zhou Man pressed the acupoints on her body, which quickly relieved her pain and made her gradually relax.
The midwives saw it and immediately praised Mrs. Luo, "Yes, that's it, relax first."
Mrs. Luo listened, feeling more confident and relaxed...
There were five midwives and Zhou Man was there. The woman was not giving birth for the first time, so even though she was carrying twins and the fetuses were in a slightly tilted position, she gave birth quickly and smoothly.
As soon as the first child was born, a midwife took the baby, immediately cleaned her mouth, and patted her upside down to make sure that she cried and was alive. Then she took the baby to be cleaned, wrapped, and handed it to Zhou Man.
Zhou Man checked the baby. It was very small, but fortunately it seemed to be still strong.
Her younger brother was born soon and looked smaller than her. Zhou Man examined him and put him aside, thinking.
Dr. Wei especially wanted to see the children, as twins are always difficult to raise.
There were many midwives, and the process was quick. They quickly cleaned up the woman. Seeing her close her eyes for a moment and then quickly open them, Midwife Wang smiled and said, "How are you? Still feeling energetic, right? With the five of us here, and Lord Zhou here too, what are you afraid of?"
Mrs. Luo forced a laugh and asked, "How's the child?"
Wang Wenpo looked at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man and a midwife held the children in her hands and showed them to her, saying, "One is a girl and the other is a boy. The girl is the older sister."
She said, "Because they are twins, they are both a little weak, but it doesn't look like a big problem now. You should rest first. See if you can produce milk in the morning. Feed them first and see if it doesn't work. I will prescribe some medicine for you. After you take it, you can feed them. It will be like taking medicine for them."
Both children were placed next to their mother for her to look after, and Mrs. Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Shan and Doctor Wei were sitting outside in a daze. When he saw Zhou Man come out, he stood up faster than Doctor Wei and went to greet him. "How is it?"
Zhou Man said: "Mother and child are safe."
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing and reached out to hold her hand. "That's good. Are you scared?"
He whispered, "I just heard Doctor Wei say that it's best for pregnant women not to watch other people give birth."
"So as not to be afraid?" Zhou Man said: "Don't worry, I won't be afraid."
She has even had a caesarean section, so what is she afraid of?
Bai Shan thought about it, so he exhaled his last breath, supported her and said, "Are we going back now?"
Zhou Man glanced at the sky and thought she could sleep for an hour after returning home, so she nodded. She turned to the five midwives and said, "Ponder the technique I just used. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with yourselves. If you still don't understand, come and ask me."
Then he said to Doctor Wei, "We'll leave first. Doctor Wei will be in need here at the Medical Department."
Then ask Aunt Luo to find Doctor Wei if she has any problems.
Doctor Wei wanted to say something several times but hesitated, but Bai Shan kept supporting Zhou Man, so he couldn't open his mouth several times and could only watch them leave.
It wasn't until the next day that he had the chance to ask, "Sir, I wonder how the twins are doing?"
Zhou Man said: "It's a little weak, so we have to see how it performs over the next few days. If it eats well and grows well, it might be able to make up for the deficiencies in the fetus."
The period immediately after a newborn is when it grows fastest and is also the easiest time to supplement nutrition.
Therefore, Zhou Man attached great importance to breast milk. Seeing that Doctor Wei was interested, she simply took him to see the mother and asked him to take Mrs. Luo's pulse.
Doctor Wei couldn’t see anything. Isn’t this the pulse condition of all women who have just given birth?
It is normal to have some qi deficiency and physical weakness.
Zhou Man asked Mrs. Luo, "Do you have milk?"
Mrs. Luo said, "I can feel it, but it hasn't come out yet. The child just sucked it a little, but it didn't come out."
In fact, she was also a little anxious.
Seeing her nervousness, Zhou Man comforted her, "Don't be nervous. I've asked someone to make you some milk-inducing soup. Drink some later. Don't worry, you'll produce milk. You've already given birth to several children, how could you not have milk?"
Mrs. Luo thought so too and relaxed.
See you tomorrow
