Chapter 118: Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Measures
The surrounding crowd quickly surrounded the place where Su Qiao and Wang Xiuying were.
People living nearby brought an old quilt and used it as a cushion for Wang Xiuying.
Someone went home and boiled some hot water and brought it over, and the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative also gave Su Qiao a brand new pair of scissors.
At this time, Su Qiao's attention was all on Wang Xiuying.
"ah--"
The pain became more and more severe. Wang Xiuying grabbed Su Qiao's hand and cried out in pain, not caring where she was.
But after she shouted only twice, her voice became noticeably weak.
Su Qiao pressed her pulse with his fingers and felt her pulse quickly become weak.
She couldn't help but frowned slightly, and her heart was clenched.
Wang Xiuying's amniotic fluid had just been broken, and judging by how wet the cotton wool was, it was almost drained out by now.
Now she is weak again. Once the amniotic fluid dries up and the baby is not born, it is very likely that the baby will suffocate to death in the stomach. Then Wang Xiuying herself might be in danger.
"Who of you has chocolate?"
Su Qiao took out a silver needle to disinfect it and shouted outside the tent.
There was a commotion outside, and soon someone brought in two pieces of chocolate.
Su Qiao quickly peeled it and stuffed it into Wang Xiuying's mouth, "Comrade Xiuying, eat it quickly to regain your strength.
Hang in there, your child is still waiting to see you.”
After Su Qiao finished speaking, several silver needles had been inserted into Wang Xiuying's Hegu, Sanyinjiao, Zhiyin and Jianjing acupoints.
Then, a dozen silver needles were inserted into the corresponding acupoints.
As the energy from the chocolate filled her body, Wang Xiuying's condition stabilized.
Su Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wang Xiuying had regained some strength.
Then the commander Wang Xiuying said: "Comrade Xiuying, follow me, exhale, inhale~~"
At this time, although the pain was getting more and more severe, Wang Xiuying's mind calmed down a little, and she tried hard to adjust her breathing to keep up with Su Qiao's rhythm.
Su Qiao took the time to touch Wang Xiuying's belly to check on the baby.
But after the touch, her brows furrowed even more.
Just like Aunt Qian said, Wang Xiuying took too much supplements during her pregnancy, and the fetus was too big, making it difficult to give birth.
The fetus is not in the right position. If it continues like this, I am afraid...
As Su Qiao was thinking, she heard Luo Xiaoling's anxious voice coming from outside, "Director Tang, here, my daughter-in-law is here."
Then, Luo Xiaoling lifted the curtain and a doctor who was about fifty years old walked in.
Tang Meifeng entered the tent and glanced at the silver needles inserted into Wang Xiuying's acupuncture points. A flash of surprise passed through her eyes.
Then, she started touching Wang Xiuying's belly.
In just a moment, she had confirmed the condition of the fetus in Wang Xiuying's belly.
"The fetus is too large and in an abnormal position. It may be difficult for the mother to give birth on her own during her first birth. It is best to send the baby to the hospital for a caesarean section immediately."
When Tang Meifeng said this, Luo Xiaoling turned pale with fright.
Wang Xiuying was in so much pain that she was dazed and didn't care about the pain anymore. "Doctor Tang... Doctor Tang, I... I don't want to... have my stomach cut open..."
Su Qiao knew that people in later generations would be very accepting of caesarean sections, because when she was wandering as a soul, she learned that many women in the Red Star Delivery Team gave birth by caesarean section in the hospital.
However, the medical technology for cesarean section is not mature now, and people's acceptance of cesarean section is also low.
Tang Meifeng frowned and said sternly, "What time is it now? Is it your turn or not?
If you want both you and your child to survive, cooperate well!"
As soon as Tang Meifeng finished speaking, Wang Xiuying, who had calmed down, was so frightened that her body couldn't stop shaking.
My lips were shaking violently and cold sweat was pouring out like rain.
"I don't want a cesarean section, I don't want a cesarean section..." Wang Xiuying seemed to be frightened, her eyes were fixed and she kept mumbling.
Luo Xiaoling stood by and looked anxiously at Wang Xiuying, then at Tang Meifeng.
People who usually keep their word are now at a loss.
Tang Meifeng obviously did not expect that Wang Xiuying was so afraid of caesarean section.
Her brows were tightly furrowed.
Su Qiao placed his fingers on Wang Xiuying's pulse and felt that after a burst of rapid beating, her pulse became weak.
She said calmly, "Director Tang, if I can turn the fetus in Comrade Xiuying's belly right, can you help her give birth to the baby?"
Tang Meifeng looked at Su Qiao in surprise.
After a slight pause, she nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"Okay, I'll help Comrade Xiuying correct the fetal position.
I'll leave the rest to you, Director Tang."
As Su Qiao spoke, he already placed his hands on Wang Xiuying's belly.
At the same time, she said in a firm but gentle voice: "Sister Xiuying, we don't need to perform a cesarean section, just relax.
Follow my rhythm, inhale--exhale--"
After learning that she didn't need a caesarean section, Wang Xiuying's mood gradually calmed down.
Su Qiao's voice seemed to have magic, making Wang Meifeng unconsciously follow her rhythm.
Su Qiao followed Wang Xiuying's breathing rhythm and used massage techniques to correct her fetal position little by little...
Tang Meifeng was nervously paying attention to the condition of Wang Xiuying and the fetus. Luo Xiaoling stood by, unable to help and daring not to move, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Soon, Wang Xiuying's cries of pain became louder and louder.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Qiao's forehead.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's coming."
Tang Meifeng's powerful voice was full of excitement and joy, "The cervix is dilated to ten fingers, please push harder!"
"ah--"
Wang Xiuying had used up almost all of her strength. After she cried out in pain, Tang Meifeng's excited voice rang out, "I've seen the end, I've seen the end, try harder, just like you're having a bowel movement, use all your strength..."
Wang Xiuying gritted her teeth and managed to hold back a little more strength.
But it was obvious that she was losing strength.
Tang Meifeng looked at the birthing situation, but her brows were furrowed again, "The fetus is too big, and the shoulder is stuck."
The most effective method in this situation is still to directly perform a cesarean section to take the baby out.
But now...
Su Qiao had just wiped the sweat off her forehead when she heard Tang Meifeng's words. She didn't have time to rest and immediately said, "Let me take a look."
Su Qiao took one look and finally understood why Tang Meifeng's brows were so tightly furrowed.
Although the baby's head had come out, its shoulders were still stuck in the birth canal, and its face had turned purple.
Even if we send him to the hospital for a cesarean section now, it's too late. This child might...
In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken.
