Who is Xiuying? She is Jin Cuihua's sister-in-law, and her full name is Niu Xiuying.
Jin Cuihua's husband is the eldest, and Xiuying's husband is the fifth. They have the best relationship among the three sisters-in-law. As soon as they heard that Xiuying was about to give birth, they were the first to run to Feng Qingxue.
There was only one midwife in their production team. Although she was very skilled, the mortality rate during births was extremely high.
Even so, everyone still came to her because there were too few people doing this job, and it was a job for the untouchables in the old days.
Now the midwife is old and her delivery is not very stable. Sometimes she is not available. Many women give birth at home. If there are older female elders in the family, they will rely on their own experience in delivery to deliver babies for the younger generation.
Life or death depends entirely on God's will.
This was Niu Xiuying's third child. Her first, a daughter, survived, but her second, a son, died. In total, he lived for less than ten days.
Feng Qingxue hurried over with Jin Cuihua, and as they walked, she asked Lu Tianjun to run back home and bring over a medicine box with a red cross on it that she had placed in the closet and two thermoses filled with hot water at home.
The medicine box was given to her by Doctor Guo before she left the military hospital.
Since she was devoted to studying medicine, she had to have a trade, so Dr. Guo and several nurses who had taught her in the hospital pieced together a set of medicine and put it in the medicine box.
"And bring our new toilet here, too!"
Guan Cheng stood up suddenly, "Tian Jun and I will go together!"
The two had long legs and fast feet. Not long after Feng Qingxue arrived in front of Niu Xiuying, the two children came running over quickly, carrying a medicine box, a thermos and a toilet, panting and sweating profusely.
Niu Xiuying was lying on the ground, crying out in pain, with a layer of corn stalks beneath her. The strong laborers from the production team all stayed away from her. Only a few middle-aged and elderly women surrounded her and cheered her up.
Such crude production conditions made Feng Qingxue sigh, they were too unhygienic.
It was too late to tell them to pay attention to hygiene now. Feng Qingxue rolled up her sleeves and walked forward. On the way, she had heard Jin Cuihua talk about Niu Xiuying's condition. Now her main task was to check the fetal position. She opened the medicine box, used the simple stethoscope of this era to listen to the fetal heartbeat, and disinfected the scissors and towels. She was very busy.
Alcohol is used to disinfect scissors.
The bottle contains alcohol, which is prepared in one's own space and is claimed to be white wine.
The clean towel that had been boiled in water was then soaked in the hot water poured into the toilet. Feng Qingxue also washed her hands and asked the woman who was helping nearby to pour out the dirty water in the bucket and then pour some hot water into it to cool it down.
There was no other way. The conditions were so poor that she could only do this much.
Niu Xiuying had experience in childbirth, and after about an hour, the birth canal was dilated ten fingers. She gave birth to a baby smoothly without any suspense, and it was a boy. Her mother-in-law who was watching beside her was very happy.
The birth process is important, and postpartum care is also important.
Feng Qingxue didn't mind the dirtiness. She carefully cut the baby's umbilical cord, poured hot water into the toilet and mixed it with cold water to make warm water. After washing the baby clean, she wrapped the baby in the old clothes that Jin Cuihua asked her son to run home to get. After Niu Xiuying expelled the placenta, she found that everything was normal and there was no sign of bleeding. Then she said to Niu Xiuying, who was lying on the haystack and panting, "Take good care of yourself at home after the confinement period. Don't go back to work after the confinement period. Don't take yourself lightly." She also told her and Jin Cuihua some knowledge about postpartum hygiene.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Thank you, big sister!" Niu Xiuying turned her head to look at her newborn son, feeling very happy.
