"I brought you the books you asked for and put them in the locker in your department." Dr. Zheng informed his colleague.
"Thank you." Dr. Peng smiled at Dr. Zheng. All his colleagues knew that Dr. Zheng was a good person.
After responding, Dr. Peng put on gloves and immediately performed a prenatal internal examination on a patient.
The nurse drew the curtain to provide privacy to the patient.
The woman lying in the delivery room was about 23 or 24 years old. She was sweating all over her face. She felt that she was in so much pain that she was about to die. She asked the doctor and the nurse with a sob in her throat: "How long will it take?"
The pain that pregnant women suffer in the first stage of labor is unbearable not because the pain is the strongest, but because the pain lasts for a long time. This causes many first-time mothers who have never experienced this to surrender directly when they encounter this seemingly endless pain for the first time. This proves the old saying that most people would rather suffer a short pain than a long one. It doesn't matter if the pain is so severe that you feel like dying, but don't let it last too long.
At this time, the doctor tried to give the mother hope. Dr. Peng comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll check to see if your cervix is open."
One of the indicators of whether the first stage of labor has reached the second stage is to look at the cervix. First, the cervix needs to be fully dilated.
Dr. Peng is now doing prenatal internal examinations for pregnant women. This examination is not only to check how many fingers the cervix is dilated, but also to check the cervix, pelvis, and the condition of the birth canal. If necessary, the doctor's fingers will help dilate the cervix. Prenatal internal examinations are indeed different from other department examinations, which causes a large number of women to reject male doctors.

Xie Wanying could feel Geng walking away without even looking. Geng was a quiet man, but he was a gentle man like Pan. He probably didn't like the look in the patient's eyes, so he left without being told.
Doctor Zheng standing beside her also noticed this sign and shrugged helplessly. Originally, I thought I could bring an outstanding male medical student from the National Association to Beidu to make up for the regret of losing Song Xuelin. Now it seems that the most famous obstetrics department in the entire Beidu can't do it.
"Your cervix is less than three fingers dilated. Give you an injection of oxytocin and see how it goes. I'll help you dilate your cervix when the time comes." Dr. Peng said to the patient.
"Doctor, I can't stand the pain anymore. Please give me a caesarean section." The patient in bed number five begged Dr. Peng with tears in his eyes.
"You've been in the delivery room for less than an hour. I didn't even do any artificial water breaking for you." Dr. Peng said this to make it clear to the mother that if it wasn't for the purpose of comforting and encouraging her, it's obvious that the doctor wouldn't have come to the delivery room to see her, because he knew that giving birth wouldn't be possible that quickly.
"But this hour is more painful than any other time before." The patient in bed number five cried.
"Don't cry, don't cry." The midwife took a towel and wiped the patient's face. "If you cry now, you won't have the strength to give birth later."
The patient choked and cried: "Why is Caesarean section bad?"
"Haven't I told you many times before? This is your first time giving birth and it will definitely be more painful than for those who have given birth before. Every woman goes through pain when giving birth. Given your physical condition, you are able to give birth naturally, so why don't you do it? Do you think it's okay to have a cut on your stomach? You will regret it after you have the surgery. You will never be able to get rid of the scar, and it's so ugly to have a scar on your stomach," said Dr. Peng.
"I'm in a lot of pain. Unlike them, they don't feel as much pain as I do." The patient compared herself to the woman in labor in the next bed.
Everyone looked over and saw the three women in labor who were pointed out by the patient for comparison. The woman in labor opposite had a calm and composed expression. She was not a first-time mother but a multiparous one. She knew how to adjust her breathing rhythm to relieve the pain of contractions without the guidance of doctors and nurses.
