Fortunately, I was worried that the children were too young and would make noise here, affecting the birthing process inside, so I asked the older children to take the younger ones out to play early, and they haven’t come back yet.
Ding Maoshan sat in the corner smoking his pipe, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
But now there is no time for him to hesitate?
Ding Laosan now felt his legs go weak. If his brother hadn't pulled him up from behind, he would have collapsed to the ground.
After a while, snot and tears started flowing.
He crawled directly to his father and knelt on the ground.
"Dad, why don't we take my wife to the hospital, or ask Doctor Jiang what to do? Doctor Jiang used to work at the city hospital, so he must be very capable. Other women in that hospital who had cesarean sections are still alive and well."
The third brother was worried that something might happen to his wife, so he sat on the ground crying.
"Dad, I only have one wife. What will happen to me and the child if anything happens to her? How will I live if you leave me alone with the child?"
Ding Maoshan took a few puffs of his cigarette, put the pipe on the back of his foot and knocked off the ash.
He made up his mind and said, "Eldest Wife, go in and tell the doctor to think of a way. No matter what, we must save Third Wife and the child..."
Well, let fate take care of the child. If they take him away, there's nothing we can do. We should take him to the hospital right now. Nothing is more important than life."
After getting her father's approval, Mrs. Ding quickly ran into the house to tell her mother-in-law and Jiang Mengxue.
"Mom, doctor, Dad said we should listen to the doctor and save my third brother's wife's life. As for the child, we can just leave it to fate.
If that doesn't work, we should rush to the hospital without wasting time."
Jiang Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that someone in the Ding family could make the decision.
If Mrs. Ding continues to hesitate, it will be hard to say what will happen.
Old Mrs. Ding gritted her teeth and gave up her seat.
But he still added: "Doctor, my grandson can't be in any trouble either."
Mrs. Ding was afraid that her mother-in-law's words would disturb the doctor and her third brother's wife, so she pushed her out and didn't let her come near.
"Doctor, tell me if you need any help."
He turned around and looked at the person lying on the kang.
"Third sister-in-law, how are you now? Don't worry, Dad said nothing will happen to you. If anything happens, let's go to the hospital. Nothing is more important than human life."
Jiang Mengxue knew what to do next.
The most important thing now is to change the position of the baby in the belly. Now the foot is at the cervix, and even the toes are almost sticking out. It is really dangerous.
"Mrs. Ding, please go get two basins of hot water. We'll need it later. I'll try to see if I can push the baby back in and turn it around."
Jiang Mengxue touched the woman's belly, carefully feeling out the baby's position.
He took a towel from the side, rolled it up, and handed it to the woman in labor, asking her to bite it in her mouth.
"It will definitely be painful for a while, just bear with it. Once the position is right, you will be able to give birth soon."
The woman in labor endured the pain and nodded, saying, "Doctor, please do it. I can bear it." As she said that, she bit the towel tightly in her mouth.
Jiang Mengxue washed and disinfected her hands, and only dared to take action after making sure that everything was fine.
First, grab the baby's outstretched little foot and stuff it back in, then push it in to change its position.
The upper hand cooperates to help the baby turn his head.
"Uh~"
Jiang Mengxue knew how painful it was, but she didn't dare to stop. Since she had already started, she had to continue, otherwise she would suffer even more.
Mrs. Ding helped hold down the woman's legs as Jiang Mengxue requested.
The woman in labor couldn't bear the pain and almost sat up with her back hunched.
"Mrs. Ding, please call someone in quickly to help hold the woman down. Find someone who's strong. If she's timid, don't let her in."
Mrs. Ding originally wanted to let the second son's wife come in, but if she said that, the second son's wife might be so scared that she wouldn't dare to move. Wouldn't that be more of a hindrance than a help?
"Then, doctor, can I let the third child come in? They are a couple anyway, so there is nothing they can't see."
Jiang Mengxue didn't care, as long as he didn't make things worse.
"Look at what he looks like. Don't come in and get so scared that your legs go weak."
Mrs. Ding ran out and explained the situation inside to Ding Lao San in detail before she dared to let anyone in.
"Third brother, you don't have to do anything. Just hold your wife down and don't let her move."
Jiang Mengxue held the woman's belly to help her give birth.
"The baby in my belly has fallen over, and I can start pushing now."
Hearing Jiang Mengxue's words, the woman in labor began to exert force, tightly grasping the quilt beside her.
"Ahhh~"
Her cervix had already opened so the birth was very fast. After Jiang Mengxue asked her to push, she gave birth soon.
It was a boy. The child didn't cry or yell when he was born. Jiang Mengxue patted his butt hard.
After patting the baby several times, he finally started crying. The crying was not loud, probably because he had been in the belly for too long. His face was blue and a little purple.
Jiang Mengxue confidently took his pulse and found that there was no serious problem.
I glanced at the time, it was 7:23 pm.
"Do you have a scale at home? Do you want to weigh your child?"
Jiang Mengxue hasn't yet mastered the skill of lifting weights with her hands.
"Yes, yes, we used to have a scale when making tofu at home."
Mrs. Ding quickly called out from outside and asked her mother-in-law to bring in the scale.
I put the child in the scale pocket, it weighed 5.3 jin, and the small blanket weighed about 2 liang.
Five pounds and one ounce is not considered light nowadays, and anyone weighing more than five pounds is considered a fat boy.
"Okay, okay, a five-pound fat grandson, okay."
She was so happy to hear that. Although Ding Laosan's family had already given birth to two boys and she didn't care much about whether the third child was a boy or a girl, she was still happy to have a grandson.
I heard that the eldest sister-in-law saw that her mother-in-law was holding the child tightly, so she got some hot water to wash her sister-in-law.
Jiang Mengxue freed her hand and began to check on the mother's condition.
This time the delivery was difficult and the mother’s physical condition is not very good. She needs at least a few years of recuperation. It is hard to say whether she can recover as before.
Check the placenta and fetal membranes to make sure nothing is missing before you feel relieved.
If there is anything missing and the mother has not excreted any of it, she cannot eat anything, not even drink saliva, otherwise it will be fatal.
The woman fell asleep directly after giving birth. After Jiang Mengxue made sure that everything was fine, she gently wiped her hand across her mouth, and a drop of spiritual spring water dripped into her mouth.
The effect is not very great, but it is very effective for the physical recovery of the mother.
Generally speaking, Jiang Mengxue will not give too much in this situation. One drop is enough. As for the future recovery, it depends on the mother's own body.
Help the mother to tidy up her body and wipe the baby clean with a wet towel.
After making sure that there was no problem, Jiang Mengxue prepared to go back.
