Chapter 404, Part 2: Taking Control of Your Pregnancy!
"The drainage tube here needs to be replaced promptly, and it must be disinfected when replacing it to prevent infection."
After Li San Niang regained consciousness and asked about her feelings, she instructed the doctor who stayed behind to take care of her on the things to pay attention to.
"Be vigilant at night. If you develop a high fever, call for help immediately."
"Okay, we'll do whatever Dr. Li says."
Right now, Lianniang is looking at herself in a bronze mirror. Even with those stitches, Lianniang still thinks her face looks better without the mole.
"Third Sister, shall we go to a restaurant together? We've already made a reservation."
Sun, the medical supervisor, beckoned to Li Sanniang, who naturally agreed and went with him.
"Ever since we heard Dr. Li say that drinking too much alcohol can affect the dexterity of our hands, the rest of us have stopped drinking altogether."
"That's right. In a surgery like this, if one hand trembles, it would be all over."
"Dr. Li, your hands are truly amazing!"
If the little girl has her stitches removed later, will the scar be invisible?
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Li San Niang took a sip of tea to wash it down before replying, "It depends on how well it heals."
If it heals well, and if Lianniang is not the type to form keloids, there should only be a faint mark, which will gradually fade over time until it is no longer visible.
However, if Lianniang has a tendency to form keloids, the scars will be more noticeable, requiring a second surgery.
"Oh? Could you explain in detail why this scar-prone constitution exists?"
"Dr. Sun, you must have done stitching for soldiers in the army..."
After finishing their meal, they went back to the clinic to check on Lianniang. Manager Gao immediately gave Li Sanniang the day off, telling her to go home early that day.
Li San Niang didn't refuse and hailed a car with Qiu Xiang to go home.
The main problem was that today's surgery had taken a toll on Li Sanniang's mental and physical energy. Although she had replenished her energy in time, she still felt very tired.
But at this moment, a familiar stranger came to the Li family. Linglan brought Ping'an to visit the Li family.
After exchanging greetings, Li's father and the other men left, leaving the women sitting in rows in the main hall.
"I've heard from Third Sister that she took in a clever female disciple, and now I've finally met her."
Sister-in-law Li started the conversation, and the group began chatting.
When Li San Niang returned, the topic of Ping An drinking milk had already come up.
"Let me find out which wife on the street has a lot of breast milk. You can give her some money and take her to drink it twice a day."
After three months, you can buy a ewe and give it goat's milk.
"I'm feeding him with a mixture of goat milk and regular milk right now. Luckily, Ping An has a small appetite, otherwise I really wouldn't know how... Master, you're back?"
Linglan's delighted cry drew everyone's attention to the doorway, where they discovered that Li Sanniang had finished her shift early.
“You’ve come at the perfect time. I was just about to send you a message. I’ll be teaching during my next ten-day break, so you can come along and get to know your senior, Song Fuling.”
"Yes, Master, I will come earlier."
Soon it was Li San Niang's ten-day break. Two days before that, Li San Niang had already asked the doorman on the street who was in charge of delivering messages to her students at the midwifery school.
That day, Linglan arrived at the Li family early with Ping'an, and Song Fuling also arrived ahead of time after receiving word.
"This is your senior sister. Although she is much younger than you, she was the first to become my disciple."
My master and junior brother are currently in the palace treating Princess Taiping and haven't returned yet. Once they do, I'll have you two serve them tea.
Linglan did not underestimate Song Fuling. After bowing according to seniority, she called her "Senior Sister". Song Fuling accepted the greeting with great embarrassment, responded, and then returned the greeting.
"Very good. Everyone will be here soon. Fuling, collect all the homework I assigned last time. I want to look at it later."
"Yes, Master."
As the hour of Si (9-11 AM) approached, carriages and horses began to stop one after another at the entrance of the Women's Assistance Association. By the beginning of Si (9-11 AM), nearly twenty people were already seated in the association's classroom.
"It's a pleasure to see you all again."
This is my second female disciple, named Linglan.
Li San Niang gestured for Ling Lan to come forward and introduce herself to everyone. Ling Lan, filled with excitement, went to the front of the stage, first bowed, and then said with a smile, "Greetings, everyone."
My name is Linglan, and my late husband's surname was Wang. I came to Chang'an City with my child to stay with my aunt. By chance, I met my master. I admired his skills and passed the test to become his apprentice.
From now on, we'll all be from the same family, like sisters. I've booked a private room at a restaurant for lunch; please do me the honor of joining us for a meal."
Those in the audience who had never seen Linglan before were very surprised, not knowing that Li Sanniang had taken on another apprentice.
"If older people can become apprentices, then can't a young woman like me in my early twenties also do it?"
Yao Qingqing could tell at a glance that Linglan must be in her early thirties. With that in mind, she had an idea and wanted to ask Li San Niang in private what the assessment was all about.
"Alright, let's talk about the details when we have lunch."
These are the assignments that Fuling collected. I will review them carefully after class.
Let's review what we covered last time...
As she spoke, Li Sanniang hung up the diagram of the female reproductive system that she had discussed last time. While reviewing the content of the previous lecture, Li Sanniang also called on people to answer questions.
What is this place? What is its purpose?
Yao Qingqing was somewhat taken aback when her name was called, but after a moment of hesitation, she immediately stood up and looked at the spot Li Sanniang was pointing to as she answered.
"This is the womb of the woman, where a fetus can be conceived."
After spending half an hour reviewing what was taught last time, Li San Niang began to teach new content.
"We all know that only women with a womb can conceive and bear children."
"As for how to have a child, apart from the married women here, I think only you, you, you, and you... don't know, right?"
After Li San Niang named Song Fuling, Jin Zhenbao, Sun Chunlan, and Yu Xueniang, she asked them this question.
Apart from Jin Zhenbao and Sun Chunlan, the other two blushed deeply, especially Yu Xueniang, whose ears turned red with embarrassment.
"Haha, alright, alright, no need to be shy."
In the realm of worldly ethics, the sexual relations between husband and wife are of utmost importance, and in ancient times they were known as the rites of the Duke of Zhou.
Since you're going to be a midwife or a female doctor in the future, you can't be ignorant of this.
I'm going to make this clear to you all today, but once I leave this room, I won't admit that I said any of this.
Li San Niang winked at everyone, and seeing the bulge on her mother's forehead below, she quickly put on a serious face.
"...In this way, the woman can become pregnant."
So, the question is, how can I get pregnant faster and better?
How can we achieve better and more convenient contraception?
"Contraception? Mr. Li means, avoiding pregnancy?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
"Since you're married, isn't the purpose to have children? Why use contraception?"
These questions were asked by the midwife, Sun. As a woman who had become an old woman, she did not put the question in her own mind, but instead put it in the mind of her daughter-in-law, Chunlan's mother, Sun's wife.
The purpose of marrying a wife is to have her bear children and carry on the family line, isn't it?
If it's contraception, does that mean you don't plan to have children?
How can that be possible?
