Chapter 115 Stillbirth?
Jiang turned her head and took a closer look. It turned out that the person standing next to her was not a maid but her eldest niece. She immediately frowned and scolded her.
"Sister Wan, what are you doing here? This is not a place for a woman like you to be in the delivery room? Get out now!"
"I came in to see Mom!"
Jiang Wan grabbed his mother's hand before he could finish his homework. Xu also came to her senses. She endured the cramps in her stomach and scolded her with an unstable breath.
“…Quick…quickly get out, ah!”
The child seemed to twist in her belly, and the pain made her hair wet with cold sweat. Seeing this, Jiang Wan hurried to comfort him.
"Mom, don't worry about me. Just save your energy and have a baby. I'll be out right away!"
While talking, he quickly took the pulse with his fingers to feel it carefully, and his eyes were fixed on the midwife.
"Quickly check the baby's position. My mother's pulse is still strong. Doctor Sun said if it doesn't work, give her a bowl of Buddha's Hand Powder and try to deliver the baby within an hour!"
"Miss Jiang, why don't you leave first? It's really not suitable for you to stay in this delivery room..."
Zhang Pozi's family had been midwives for three generations. Her mother had inherited her grandmother's skills, and she had inherited her mother's. But if anyone in the capital knew about it, Zhang Pozi could proudly declare that she was definitely the best midwife.
She had delivered countless babies for wealthy families, but this was the first time she had encountered an unmarried daughter of a wealthy family rushing into the delivery room, which made her a little panicked.
"Don't worry about me, just do your job well and you'll be rewarded handsomely later!"
There was no need to say the rest. Just by looking at the cold expression on the face of the eldest daughter in charge, one could tell that if one did not work hard, nothing good would happen to him afterwards.
The midwife quickly shut up and bent down to check whether the baby had any intention of coming out.
Although Jiang Wan is not very old, the resolute, firm, calm and steady expression on his face has a special and strange power that can calm people's hearts.
Jiang stopped trying to dissuade him, but her eyes flickered several times. She thought of Xu Ruojin. It was true that children resembled their parents. This Wanjie would definitely not be an ordinary woman content to live in the backyard.
My mind was full of random thoughts, and I kept holding a clean cotton handkerchief in my hand to wipe the sweat off my sister-in-law's face.
"Madam, you're already four fingers dilated. Please bear with it for a while!"
Mrs. Zhang reached out to check and then reported.
"The baby's position is correct, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that the amniotic fluid is a little less than before!"
Jiang Wan felt a little relieved and turned to give instructions to the maid beside her.
"Sister Ziyu, go to the door and tell Sister Qingzhu to ask Doctor Sun. Tell her that the baby's position is normal, and my mother's pulse is still strong, but her amniotic fluid is decreasing. She's already four fingers dilated. Can you induce labor? While my mother still has some strength, if possible, bring the Buddha's Hand Powder over!"
Sun Tingyun is the heir of the Sun family who was personally taught by the imperial physician. He is a famous master of medicine in the capital and has a very good character.
Although Jiang Wan had been a psychiatrist, she had never dabbled in obstetrics and gynecology. She had recently learned how to take a pulse from Dr. Sun, just in case there was an emergency and Dr. Sun couldn't come in, she could take over herself.
As a modern soul, she understood clearly that professional matters should be left to professionals. That was why she came in to provide timely feedback on her mother's specific information so that Dr. Sun could prescribe the appropriate medication.
"yes!"
Ziyu turned and ran, repeating the eldest lady's instructions to the young ladies standing guard outside. About half an incense stick later, she took the medicine bowl from Qingzhu.
Jiang Wan's mother held one hand tightly, and with the other hand she held a cotton handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"Mom, little four will be born soon. Let's think about a name for him. I'll write a letter to my dad later, okay? Mom, don't close your eyes, don't fall asleep..."
Seeing her mother growing weaker and weaker, she was extremely anxious, but she had no better solution. If this were modern times, she would have performed a Caesarian section in the operating room long ago. But in this ancient world with so little to offer, she tried countless times but couldn't even find a sterile room, let alone those delicate and sharp medical instruments.
Sometimes I really hate my own incompetence. The limitations of the times are not something that can be easily overcome by just one person. For example, she clearly has some surgical knowledge, but due to the lack of supporting conditions, she can only do nothing.
Reality is not fiction. She can't be as crazy as the time-traveling girls in those melodramatic novels who dare to perform surgery on people by just setting up a platform.
This is her mother, we can't take any risks!
"Miss, the medicine is here!"
Zi Yu presented the labor-inducing medicine and repeated Doctor Sun's instructions.
"Doctor Sun said that this medicine works quickly and can protect the mother to the greatest extent. But the midwife must also act quickly and not miss the best opportunity!"
"Got it, Granny Zhang, get ready. Aunt, please watch from the side and tell me immediately if anything goes wrong! Mom, open your mouth and drink the medicine!"
Although Xu was numb from the pain, her mind was still clear.
“…Night…Sister, take care…take care of Xiao…”
"I know! Mom, drink it quickly!"
He held the bowl to his mother's mouth and forced her to drink it without even shaking her hands.
Sure enough, the reputation of the Sun family is not exaggerated. Not long after taking the labor-inducing drug, you can see the baby rolling around in the huge belly.
"My cervix is dilated to five fingers, please push harder, Madam!"
Mrs. Zhang skillfully pressed back and forth on the belly to help the baby come out.
“Ah~!”
Xu's screams were unbearable to hear.
Jiang Wan and Jiang Shi, one was busy taking care of the woman in labor, and the other was busy helping the midwife, and basins of clear water were dyed red again.
Another round of chaos ensued, and Jiang Han was already crying like a dog outside the door. The little girl knelt in the yard and kept praying to God to bless her mother to have a smooth delivery.
Finally, after Xu tried her best, the fourth child of the Jiang family finally slipped out of his mother's belly.
"It's born!"
Jiang laughed out loud in surprise.
"Hahaha, it's born! Oh my God, this little brat is really annoying."
While mumbling, Jiang looked at the little nephew lying motionless between his mother's legs. After Mrs. Zhang skillfully handled the umbilical cord, she realized something was wrong.
"Why isn't the child crying?"
She remembered her two births. No matter whether the baby cried loudly or softly, he definitely cried when he was born.
Mrs. Zhang also noticed that something seemed wrong with the child. Not to mention the slightest thing, the child had clearly not been in the mother's womb for a long time, but his entire body was already bruised.
Holding the two little feet upside down, he spanked the child's butt three times, but there was no movement.
She was instantly panicked.
Oh no, this might be a stillbirth!
