The concerns about Tao'er's mother are still just speculation, but everyone needs to be prepared for this.
Jiang Zhi racked her brains for knowledge on this subject.
It is said that you only realize how little you know when you need it, and she regretted not having thought of studying gynecology as well.
If Peach's mother has a difficult childbirth, she can use a kitchen knife to perform a cesarean section...
Cough cough, these ideas are just mindless hype right now.
Medicine and pharmacy are related, but the obstetrics and gynecology operating room, which requires surgery, has absolutely nothing to do with a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.
With different colleges and different disciplines, she simply couldn't learn anything.
Moreover, a cesarean section requires a sterile environment and there is no anesthesia available; directly removing the patient alive is a gamble with one's life.
However, this effort to recall still allowed her to retrieve some basic theoretical knowledge from the corners of her memory.
Prenatal bleeding from a fall should raise suspicion of placental abruption. Postpartum hemorrhage, excluding medical conditions, is often caused by incomplete placental separation.
Each situation should be analyzed individually; generalizations should not be made.
Judging from the fact that Tao'er's mother has already given birth several times, the baby is in the correct position, the baby is moving, and there is not much bleeding, as long as the labor does not last too long and there is no intrauterine asphyxia, the risk of the baby's delivery process is not high.
As Xia's mother said, if there is a concern about postpartum hemorrhage, then the issue of placental abruption should be considered.
While Jiang Zhi was pondering this, Xia's mother had already returned to the shack to comfort the new mother.
Tian Gui and his son were completely at a loss. They squatted in a row like four radish stakes, their eight eyes staring blankly at the shack without moving.
The labor was progressing slowly, and Lianhua and Pi, the two young wives, were boiling scissors and cotton thread in the kitchen, ready to meet the two aunts' requests at any time.
Seeing that they were doing things in an orderly manner, Jiang Zhi did not interfere or cause trouble. She went directly to the scholar's house.
The scholar's wife was still embroidering when someone in the village gave birth, and her mother-in-law, who was good at midwifery, was called away, so she was a little distracted.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhi arrive, the scholar's wife put down her embroidery and asked, "Auntie, what brings you here?"
Jiang Zhi answered absentmindedly, saying, "Let me see how your embroidery is doing, and when you need it sent to Qiaozhenfang!"
Qiaozhenfang once said that they would pay three taels of silver for each fan, and it would take the scholar's wife at least a month to complete it.
The scholar's wife smiled gently, took out a fan cover made of silk, and pulled out a fan to show Jiang Zhi: "I finished one a few days ago. I thought it would be too much trouble to go to the city, so I thought I'd embroider the second fan and then trouble you to send it to the embroidery shop."
Two months have passed, and she has finished embroidering a fan with falling red plum blossoms on the surface. The fan is so lifelike and exquisite that one dares not touch it.
Jiang Zhi really didn't dare to touch the embroidery. When she saw the fan being handed to her, she immediately waved her hands nervously, saying, "Put it away quickly. I'll just take a look. I can't touch it with my rough hands."
She was afraid that her hands, rough and calloused from working, would snag the silk.
Jiang Zhi waited until the scholar's wife finished packing the silk fan before taking her hand and gently stroking it: "Your hands are so skillful, so soft and delicate."
The scholar's wife had long, slender fingers, small, delicate, fair and tender hands, and her nails were trimmed into short ovals with smooth edges and no outline.
The scholar's wife generously showed her: "I'm afraid my rough hands will snag the silk, so my mother-in-law has never let me do any rough work."
Xia Xiucai failed the imperial examinations repeatedly and fell ill, ruining her future. However, she had no complaints. Besides the good relationship between husband and wife, she also had a good mother-in-law.
Embroidery requires a good pair of hands. She doesn't usually do rough work, and every night before bed she needs to soak her hands in hot water and then apply ointment and a soft cloth to remove the old skin.
When I was a refugee, I couldn't do embroidery because I was too busy washing clothes and cooking. Now I'm taking care of it again.
Jiang Zhi was filled with anxiety. She came to find the scholar's wife to ask if the embroidery was fake, but to see if the scholar's wife's hands were real.
If Tao'er's mother experiences severe bleeding due to incomplete placental separation, artificial removal should be considered.
Every woman in Xujia Village has to do farm work. These past few days, they've been drying grain and turning straw. Their hands are so rough that they can't do such delicate work.
But... even if you can explain it clearly, most people can't do it!
Besides, I've only seen 3D animations in video tutorials, so I have no idea what the real situation is like.
Jiang Zhi's words lingered on her lips, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. The scholar's wife noticed that although she said she was fine, her brows were furrowed and she seemed preoccupied.
So he asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with? I've received so much kindness from everyone here, and I have no way to repay you. I'll do whatever I can to help."
Her family settled here, and although they rented more than two acres of land, neither Xia Xiucai nor she were the type to carry heavy loads or do farm work.
It was thanks to the help of everyone in the village that the scholar's family was able to receive the grain.
During the torrential rain, the scholar fell ill, and several families from the village came to check on the leaks and even helped transport the medicine to the granary.
Having experienced dire straits, they deeply understand the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world. Now that someone is taking care of them, the Xia family is grateful and will do their best to repay the kindness.
So Xia Xiucai taught people to read, and she also taught them embroidery. Xia's mother also tried her best to help others.
Now that my mother-in-law has gone to the Tian family to help with the delivery, the village chief has come to me and said that even embroidery requires skill in handling hands. There must be some reason for this.
Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still took the risk to tell Tao'er's mother about her current situation: "Your mother-in-law said that she is worried that Tao'er's mother will have a severe hemorrhage after giving birth. If the placenta does not come off for a long time or does not detach completely, they will have to consider manual removal!"
The scholar's wife turned pale upon hearing this. Having given birth herself, she knew the consequences of retained placenta.
My mother-in-law even carefully examined Xia Yuan's placenta before she was relieved to find it intact.
Hearing this, she was extremely worried, and even her voice trembled as she asked, "My mother-in-law really said that? Tao'er's mother will... will she be in danger?"
She knew that her mother-in-law was not talking nonsense and was very knowledgeable about childbirth. Even when she gave birth to Xia Yuan, it was her mother-in-law who delivered the baby.
Now... she was in a state of utter confusion, looking down at the round fan in front of her.
These are items that women like, but now the plum blossoms are crimson, and the petals are falling, like blood and tears.
If Peach's mother were to encounter danger, her blood would flow in the same way, and her beautiful life would wither away like a plum blossom in the wind!
The scholar's wife twisted her fingers, struggling with a difficult problem, her eyes brimming with tears: "I don't know how!"
Jiang Zhi said, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone else about this. I just want to be prepared. If there are other ways, I won't let you take action."
This is what I think: even if we do poorly, even if we are useless, it's still better than being helplessly watching a living person die in front of us.
In this life-or-death situation, Tian Gui's family, being warm-hearted and loyal, helped carry the rice drying outside back with their help.
After struggling for a long time, the scholar's wife finally agreed through gritted teeth with red eyes: "Then I'll give it a try! Aunt Jiang, what do you suggest?"
Jiang Zhi pointed to the thin, cicada-wing-like silk cloth next to her: "We'll crumple it into a little pouch. You'll be blindfolded, and you'll reach inside and feel for a thread stuck to the pouch!"
