The midwife squatted down to observe the situation and said in a serious tone, "The baby's head is too big and can't come out. If this continues, the baby will suffocate to death. Push harder."
Xu Yun had an expression of unbearable pain on his face as he grabbed Su Yuhe's hand.
Su Yuhe pursed her lips and reached out to feel Xu Yun's pulse: "Don't talk, I know."
Xu Yun was breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his pale face.
Su Yuhe looked at the educated youth next to her and said, "Huang Zhiqing, please make me a bowl of brown sugar water."
Xu Yun was exhausted, so he drank some brown sugar water to replenish his strength.
The educated youth was an experienced person, and before he could understand why Su Yuhe suddenly ran in, he was ordered to make brown sugar water.
She pursed her lips, thought of Su Yuhe's previous actions, and went to make the brown sugar water in silence.
Su Yuhe quickly took out a silver needle and injected it into Xu Yun.
The main treatment for difficult labor is to needling several acupoints such as Hegu, Zhigou and Taichong, and the acupuncture technique should be strong stimulation.
Strong stimulation is to use thick and long needles to twist, lift and insert acupuncture points with a large amplitude and for a long time to achieve the effect of strong stimulation. This is also one of the common acupuncture techniques for acute diseases.
If it were an ordinary acupuncture, this technique would definitely cause obvious pain, but Xu Yun was in labor, so even if a cut was made on her body, she would not be able to feel it, and it would be easily covered up by the pain of childbirth.
Huang Zhiqing came back with the brown sugar water, and Su Yuhe had just finished inserting the needle. The midwife watched Su Yuhe insert the needle, her eyes flashed a few times, and she said nothing.
Su Yuhe was twisting the needle and asked Huang Zhiqing to feed the brown sugar water to Xu Yun.
Xu Yun mustered up all his strength and drank it in a few gulps.
Li Yan returned slowly carrying Shi Kangyuan on his back. As soon as Shi Kangyuan landed, he followed the sound and went into the room where Xu Yun was giving birth.
Dai Chunhua stopped him and said, "Hey, old man, a baby is being given birth in there, why are you going in there?"
She looked at Li Yan: "Where did you bring him back from?"
Li Yan uttered an "ah," looking somewhat bewildered. "Su Zhiqing called me."
"Let him in." Jiang Lin suddenly said.
"Why? No matter how old he is, he is still a man. If we let him in, will our reputation as female educated youth be affected in the future?" An unknown female educated youth spoke up.
Dai Chunhua thought so too. How could a man enter a woman's delivery room?
"Li Yan, you have to think carefully, your partner is inside."
Jiang Lin said, "Yes, you have to think it through. He can only help your partner if he goes in. The voices inside are getting weaker and weaker. If you delay any longer, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Li Yan froze, not caring about anything else, and pushed Shi Kangyuan in: "Old man, you must save my girlfriend."
Shi Kangyuan responded vaguely twice and went into the house.
The midwife saw a man coming in and was horrified: "Oh my! Why did you let a man in?"
Xu Yun didn't see anyone, but only heard a man coming in. He was so nervous that he lost all his strength: "Yuhe..."
Su Yuhe rarely explained: "It's Grandpa Shi, don't worry, I asked him to help."
Shi Kangyuan knew they were rejecting him, so he tried not to look where the midwife was looking and walked to Su Yuhe's side. "What's going on?"
Su Yuhe quickly explained the situation and how she had given herself an acupuncture injection.
Shi Kangyuan nodded, took out a piece of human body from his small pocket, and asked Xu Yun to open his mouth: "Suck it."
Su Yuhe was surprised for a moment: "When did you dig up the ginseng?"
Shi Kangyuan snorted, didn't answer, and ran to sit aside.
Su Yuhe continued to twist the needles on Xu Yun and said to the midwife, "Auntie, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to give her this needle to ease her difficult labor and replenish her strength. The birth still depends on you."
The midwife nodded: "Take a deep breath and push down, just like taking a shit, hurry up..."
"Ah——" Xu Yun screamed in unbearable pain.
This voice was obviously more powerful than the previous one.
The midwife reminded: "Don't scream so loudly, you've run out of strength. Push down hard and take a deep breath..."
"No, the head is still too big!"
Su Yuhe swallowed, took out a knife from her bag, and said to the midwife, "Let me do it."
Su Yuhe had read in a book that if the fetus was too large and could not be delivered, intervention measures could be taken, such as an episiotomy and then suturing.
But this was her first time doing it without any practice.
She glanced at Shi Kangyuan, who nodded: "Just do it if you want to. The old man is here."
The midwife looked at Su Yuhe's knife and said, "Hey, what are you going to do?"
Su Yuhe rarely explained: "The baby's head is big, just cut it open and it will come out. If you keep holding it in, it will easily cause trouble."
The midwife wanted to speak, but Su Yuhe looked up at her and said, "It will tear apart eventually. My intervention will make it faster."
The midwife had delivered so many babies, so she naturally knew this. She muttered, "If anything goes wrong, I won't be responsible."
After all, natural tearing is different from tearing with a knife.
Su Yuhe looked solemn and calm as she slowly and slowly cut the incision. When she reached the right position, she stood up and looked at the midwife, asking her to come.
The midwife squatted down and taught Xu Yun how to push harder.
Xu Yun held the ginseng slice in his mouth and suddenly felt stronger. He followed the midwife's rhythm and suddenly exerted force.
After a few times, Xu Yun felt lighter all over.
The midwife shouted in surprise: "It's out! It's out! It's a..."
Xu Yun didn't hear the rest clearly, twitched his lips slightly, and fainted.
"Hey!" Su Yuhe wanted to check on Xu Yun's condition, but Shi Kangyuan came over and said, "I'll help you with the needlework, and you go finish it."
The final step was to sew up the previously cut area, and there were other things. The midwife gave the baby to the other two educated youths to clean and come to help Su Yuhe.
Su Yuhe waited for her to finish cleaning up, then took out the needle and thread to sew it up.
The thread is also mulberry bark thread recorded in the history of traditional Chinese medicine. Fortunately, Su Yuhe found it interesting and followed Shi Kangyuan to make it when he was free.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to find it at this time.
After suturing, sprinkle with pollen powder and the mulberry bark thread does not need to be removed.
After finishing her work, Su Yuhe wiped the sweat off her face with her elbow and said to the midwives, "Okay, let Xiaoyun have a good rest."
Huang Zhiqing held the baby in his arms and watched Su Yuhe's operation. It was really amazing. He had only seen needle and thread sewing clothes, but had never seen needle and thread being used on people.
For a moment, I forgot to go out and tell Li Yan the news.
"Huang Zhiqing?"
Huang Min came back to her senses, and with a sigh, she handed the baby to Su Yuhe: "Wash it clean. It cried loudly, so it's a healthy baby."
Su Yuhe didn't have the strength to hold the child now. She glanced at the newborn's red and wrinkled face and smiled slightly: "I won't hold her. Send her to her father."
Huang Min nodded, but did not carry the baby out because she was afraid that the baby would get hurt due to the strong wind at night. She waited until another educated youth and the midwife cleaned up the house before letting Li Yan in.
Li Yan was the first to rush in: "What's going on?"
Huang Min handed the child to him: "Li Zhiqing, it's a girl, come and take a look."
"Where's Xiaoyun?"
Huang Min sighed: "Xu Zhiqing is fine now. He fell asleep due to exhaustion. It's all thanks to Su Zhiqing, otherwise..."
