Chapter 616 Excretion of Feces and Urine
The theoretical lessons at the midwifery school have been almost finished, and a lot of work has been done to fill in the gaps. Ever since Li San Niang said she would lead people to start real practical activities, everyone at the midwifery school has been very excited.
Originally, Yao Qingqing and Linglan were supposed to accompany Li San Niang to deliver babies, but because of Li Da Sao's matter, Linglan is currently at the Li family taking care of the sow that Li San Niang performed a cesarean section on, so she can't free up any time.
So, following the ranking of academic performance, Li San Niang took Yao Qingqing and Jin Zhenbao with her when she went out this time.
Inside the carriage heading towards the outer three cities, Li Sanniang explained to Yao Qingqing and Jin Zhenbao: "This family lives an ordinary life; they are a family my mother knew from her early years."
Because I wanted to take you to do practical work, I had to find a family like this and tell them that I didn't want to pay for the delivery, as long as they could keep two more people watching.
The woman who gave birth this time is a multiparous woman and a hard-working woman, so there shouldn't be any problems.
You just watch me do it. If you have any questions, you can ask me after we leave their house.
When they arrived at the outer three cities, the carriage couldn't fit through the narrow passageways, so the group got off.
Old Ten gave a few copper coins to the carriage shop outside the city before following Li San Niang and the others inside.
Before Li San Niang became a female doctor, she came to this place once with her mother. That time, she treated a woman who had vaginal discharge during childbirth.
Because it had been a long time since she had been there, Li San Niang stopped at an intersection and asked an old woman passing by for directions before she finally found her way.
Actually, since this wasn't the woman's first time giving birth, she had planned to give birth at home with her mother-in-law's help.
However, the mother-in-law knew Li's mother, and after hearing Li's mother say that Li San Niang was going to deliver babies for free, she got the idea.
That's why Li San Niang brought everyone to help deliver the baby. The woman had started having abdominal pain this morning, and her mother-in-law had sent someone to inform the Li family.
After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at their destination. As soon as they knocked, the door opened immediately. Looking at the young man, who was only five or six years old, Li San Niang knew that she had come to the right place.
Sure enough, upon hearing someone at the door, the mother-in-law's movements came from inside the house, and a few moments later she came out as well.
"...Chunhua has already started labor, and the female doctor arrived just in time."
The mother-in-law had already boiled water, so everyone immediately got into character as soon as they arrived.
"Watch closely how I do it."
"Yao Qingqing, look at this. How is it different from the old-fashioned midwives you all know? And how is it different from when you watched me deliver a baby?"
Li San Niang put down her medical kit, washed her hands, and examined the woman's abdomen, whose face was contorted with pain and whose hair was matted with sweat. The baby was in the correct position, there were no abnormalities, the baby was small, and she could have a natural birth.
After making this judgment, Li San Niang taught the woman how to breathe in accordance with the contractions.
After everything was ready, the multiparous woman was quick. Only half an hour after Li San Niang and the others arrived, her amniotic sac had ruptured and she had begun the labor process.
The woman, who was originally standing on the birthing bed made of straw, is now lying on the straw with her legs bent in a semi-reclining position.
Her lower body clothes had already been taken off. "Good, good, harder, harder!"
As the woman exerted herself as Li San Niang instructed, Jin Zhenbao and Yao Qingqing stood by and watched. This scene had a great impact on Jin Zhenbao.
Jin Zhenbao understood that childbirth was a life-or-death ordeal for women, but she never imagined that it would be so gruesome.
Yes, Jin Zhenbao's focus at this moment was actually on "whether it looks good or not".
Just as Jin Zhenbao was watching intently as Li Sanniang directed the woman to deliver the child, she suddenly noticed that the woman behind her had defecated!
Yes, I've pooped!
Right in front of everyone, she relieved herself!
Jin Zhenbao cried out "Ah!" It was only after Yao Qingqing gently patted her arm that Jin Zhenbao calmed down, shut her mouth, and quickly covered it with her hand.
Right after the woman defecated, the baby's head came out.
What happened next was nothing to be surprised about. Because the baby was small and in the correct position, an episiotomy was not needed, and the baby was delivered smoothly.
Moreover, the woman seemed to be in good spirits.
"It's a young man! Look, his baby hair is very thick."
Qiu Xiang showed the child to the woman, who was displeased when she heard that the child was a young man.
"Why is it another young man?"
There are already three sons in the family.
At this moment, the mother-in-law also entered the room. Seeing the child in Qiu Xiang's arms, she asked with great joy, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
When the mother-in-law heard Qiu Xiang say that it was a young man, she was very happy. How could she not be happy that there was another male member in the family?
At this moment, Yao Qingqing watched as Li Sanniang counted the placentas that the woman had given birth to. After helping the woman tidy up everything and waiting for half an hour, seeing that the woman had fallen asleep, Li Sanniang then led everyone to say goodbye to her mother-in-law who was holding the baby.
Before leaving, my mother-in-law, being particular, gave each of us two cooked chickens, saying it was to share in the good fortune.
After leaving the alley, the group got back into the carriage driven by Lao Shi and headed back into Chang'an.
Looking at Jin Zhenbao, whose face was pale and who was clearly frightened, Li San Niang couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
“Come, treasure, sit beside me.”
Qiu Xiang and Jin Zhenbao switched places, and Li San Niang took Jin Zhenbao's hand and asked, "Were you frightened today?"
If you're afraid, it's better to wait a couple of years until you're older. Then you can go and practice with them. You're still young, so it's perfectly normal to be afraid.
Jin Zhenbao swallowed hard and looked at Li Sanniang, slowly saying, "Sir, it's not that I'm afraid. Although it's bloody, I was prepared. These past few days, I've been watching when they kill chickens in the kitchen, just to toughen myself up."
Therefore, I'm not too afraid of that.
However, sir, I never knew that a woman could defecate while giving birth!
This really scared me.
It was truly, truly disgusting, somewhat shameful, and utterly disgraceful.
Li San Niang's eyes widened. She really didn't expect that Jin Zhenbao's reaction wasn't because she was afraid of the bloody scenes of childbirth, but rather because she found the process of childbirth embarrassing and unsightly, which was a huge shock to Jin Zhenbao.
Li San Niang looked at Yao Qingqing beside her. Yao Qingqing nodded helplessly, confirming Jin Zhenbao's words. The meaning in her eyes was to say to Li San Niang: "Jin Zhenbao, she was indeed frightened because she thought she was ugly."
