After encouraging the woman in labor, Xie Wanying turned to Geng and asked for help.
Geng Yongzhe, who was standing outside to avoid suspicion, immediately came back when he heard Xie's voice.
The woman in bed number 3 didn't mind the presence of the male medical student. Besides, who would mind this at this life-saving moment?
"Let's help her change to the knee-chest position. I'll hold her abdomen with both hands to guide her, and you hold her shoulders in front to help her support her upper body." Xie Wanying and Geng discussed their cooperation plan.
The other nurses present listened to what the two of them said and lacked confidence.
The knee-chest position is very helpful for turning the breech position from transverse position to posterior position, but the success rate of this method itself is not 100%, and it must be maintained for a certain period of time. Now that parturients have entered the second stage of labor, the increasingly severe uterine contractions will make it very difficult for parturients to do this position and they should not be able to hold it for long, which will greatly reduce the effect.
It feels like there is little hope.
But in this situation, we had no choice but to give it a try. Several midwives and nurses came forward to help.
The boys had to exert their strength at this time. Geng Yongzhe held the woman's shoulders and supported her upper body, which was the heaviest part of her body. Others helped lift her hands and legs. Working together, they finally helped the woman turn into a new position.

With the pain from the contractions, bed number 3 was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. If it weren't for Dr. Xie whispering in her ear to encourage her, she wouldn't have been able to endure it for a moment.
"It will be very quick, believe me, just count to ten and it will be fine after you finish counting to ten." Xie Wanying said in the patient's ear.
Such statements are very effective in diverting patients' attention from the pain.
Bed number three opened his mouth and began to count: "One, two, three, four——"
Dr. Peng, who had thrown away the husband of the woman in bed No. 2, rushed to the door of the delivery room and saw this scene and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"
"She said that we could change the baby's position to turn it back." The old midwife told Dr. Peng what happened and that she felt there was little hope.
"Is the fetus in an abnormal position?" Doctor Peng frowned, looking serious.
"The fetus seems to be turning to the transverse position. I'm afraid of having to have a cesarean section, so I asked you to come over." The old midwife whispered in Dr. Peng's ear, not letting the mother hear for fear of shocking her. "Her membranes have ruptured. There's not much amniotic fluid, so it's difficult to turn the fetus outside the body."
"Yeah." Doctor Peng listened to the other party's advice while thinking about the situation. In the past, the old midwife was very experienced and her opinions could definitely be used as a reference. She would think so too.
Today is a little different.
Doctor Peng looked at Student Xie and said: Today, this student has created many miracles in their obstetrics department.
On the ECG monitor, today's maternal indicators are normal and show no signs of unhealthy conditions.
The frequency of the fetal heart rate monitor's beeping sound showed that the fetal heart rate had not dropped. The nurse pushed the bedside ultrasound machine to monitor the fetal position at any time. The doctor did not say anything and did not use the ultrasound for the time being.
Did the baby move?
I just heard the woman in extra bed number three counting to six.
A group of people initially observed the fetal heart rate values, and then realized that they were observing in the wrong direction.
"Oh, it's moving." pointed out the person who first discovered it.
It was seen that one of Xie Wanying's hands had been moving the monitoring probe on the mother's abdomen. The fetal heart rate did not change because she accurately tracked the fetal displacement, not because the fetus did not move. In fact, the fetus was really moving on its own.
