Chapter 133
On Monday morning, Jiang Zhinian took a prenatal check-up leave in advance and went to the hospital with Shi Ye to do a major fetal anomaly examination. They deliberately separated the major fetal anomaly examination and the four-dimensional examination into two weeks of appointments to avoid squeezing them together and making it difficult to arrange time.
Just as they reached the hospital entrance and were about to walk towards the obstetrics department, an ambulance suddenly drove in, and soon a group of doctors and nurses ran out of the emergency room. Shi Ye hugged Jiang Zhinian and stood a little to the side to avoid being hit by the crowd.
The ambulance door opened, the transfer bed was taken down, and then hurriedly sent to the emergency room. The situation did not look very good, and everyone's faces looked very heavy.
Shi Ye glanced at him and put his arm around Jiang Zhinian's shoulders: "Let's go."
Jiang Zhinian nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly glanced at a figure at the door of the emergency department and froze, "Teacher Chen? What are you..."
Teacher Chen turned around like a ghost, her hands covered in blood. She stared blankly at Jiang Zhinian and burst into tears before she could say anything: "Teacher Jiang... Teacher Hu..."
It turned out that she was taking Teacher Hu to work as usual today, but when she was at the traffic light, she encountered an electric bike that was cutting in line. In order to avoid it, she stepped on the brakes suddenly. Generally speaking, this situation would not pose any risk to ordinary people, but she forgot that there was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth sitting next to her.
Teacher Hu suddenly passed out and shouted loudly that his stomach hurt. Teacher Chen looked at the blood flowing out from under the passenger seat, his mind went blank, and he couldn't drive at all. He could only call an ambulance with trembling hands.
"Family members, are the family members of the pregnant patient here?"
Teacher Chen wanted to say something, but the nurse ran out to call the family. Teacher Hu's family was on the way. As the person in charge, Teacher Chen had no choice but to say goodbye to Jiang Zhinian and hurried in.
…
Jiang Zhinian still couldn't come back to her senses until she sat on the chair at the door of the obstetrics department.
"Shi Ye, is Teacher Hu's condition serious?"
Shi Ye thought for a moment and said, "It's most likely placental abruption."
In a normal delivery, the fetus is delivered from the mother first, and then the placenta falls off from the uterine wall and is expelled from the mother's body. However, if the pregnant woman is impacted by external force, it may cause the placenta to partially or completely fall off from the uterus prematurely, which is one of the most serious obstetric emergencies.
Jiang Zhinian thought about the cars she had taken after she became pregnant, and suddenly felt a little scared, especially since she and Shi Ye had taken a taxi home from the high-speed rail station yesterday.
"Then, is it better for us not to go out in the future? Even if we have to go out, it's best to take the subway." Apart from the fact that there are more people, the subway is good in other aspects. It is safe and stable.
Shi Ye touched her ear, held her in his arms and said nothing. Although he thought this was only a low-probability event, he saw Jiang Zhinian's expression just now and knew that she was frightened by the scene just now.
Especially since the protagonist of the incident was a pregnant woman she knew, the impact must have been greater for her.
In fact, the key point for pregnant women riding in a car is to make sure the seat belt is fastened correctly to protect themselves and the fetus. There are relatively few problems in the early and middle stages of pregnancy, but in the late stages of pregnancy, it is indeed necessary to reduce the number of long-distance trips.
In addition to driving safety, even if there is no full-term fetus, there is the problem of premature birth that may occur at any time. The news has previously reported many cases of newborns born on high-speed trains. Although they were all born safely in the end, the risks involved are really terrible.
Dystocia, amniotic fluid embolism, neonatal infection, and heavy bleeding, any of these low-probability events can be fatal.
This is why doctors often recommend that pregnant women over 30 weeks old avoid traveling far unless necessary.
…
After entering the ultrasound room and lying down, Jiang Zhinian's mind was still in a mess. She didn't feel relieved until she heard the doctor tell her that "the baby's major organs and systems are developing normally."
"By the way, please sign this form. There are some problems that cannot be detected by major fetal anomaly screening. You need to be aware of this." This will prevent you from coming to the hospital to make trouble if any problems arise.
Jiang Zhinian took a look and found that most of the diseases were heart and genetic diseases, which could not be screened out by major fetal anomaly screening.
She read the small print carefully, pointed to the bottom line, and asked, "Doctor, can't you see the fingers and toes?"
She remembered that the doctor had clearly counted the baby's toes for her.
"I just counted the baby's fingers and toes carefully. There are no major problems. However, very small problems, such as slight deformities, may not be clear in the details. You need to know this." After all, B-ultrasound is only a medical method with certain limitations. It is impossible to be as clear as direct observation with the human eye. She cannot guarantee 100% that there is no problem with the child's hands and feet based on a black and white image.
Otherwise, why would the nurse count the baby's fingers and toes again after the birth?
Jiang Zhinian signed and walked out of the ultrasound room. She came to Shi Ye and hugged his arm, nuzzling it. "The doctor said it passed smoothly."
Shi Ye raised his hand and touched Jiang Zhinian's head: "Well, let's go."
"But... I can't guarantee that there won't be any problems at all." Jiang Zhinian was still a little worried when he said this.
Shi Ye, however, was unconcerned: "Medical development has only reached this point. This is normal. As long as there are no major problems, everything else is a minor issue."
As the two of them walked hand in hand through the corridor, Jiang Zhinian noticed a couple hugging each other behind a vending machine.
The woman cried bitterly: "The doctor said my baby has cleft lip and palate... What should I do?"
The man's face didn't look very good, but he still maintained a certain degree of calmness and comforted his wife: "I remember this. Can it be repaired through surgery?"
"The doctor said that ultrasound can't assess the specific severity. We have to wait until the baby is born to know. It may be mild or very serious. It's hard to say."
"What should we do? We can't abort it, right? It's already so big."
The woman touched her belly and shook her head: "But I can't bear it. Maybe it's very mild..."
"What if it's really serious and can't be repaired even with surgery?"
Jiang Zhinian turned his head away, neither looking nor listening carefully.
She once naively thought that obstetrics was a place to welcome newborns, and that the greatest pain for a pregnant woman during her ten months of pregnancy might be childbirth. But it was not until she stepped in that she realized that heaven and hell are often only one step away.
The birth of a new life will involve countless twists and turns and difficulties along the way, and as a pregnant woman, she will have to endure countless physical discomforts and pains. In countless midnight dreams, she has to touch her belly when she wakes up to let go of the hidden worries and fears in her heart.
