Chapter 50 Get your wish, ask for a monthly ticket)(1/2)
Gu Wanjun asked the three children to go out, but she stayed to see where they needed help.
"Hurry up and boil some water and get a pair of scissors."
Liu Chen hurriedly said that he had brought the things for delivery in 2022. It was a pity that he did not bring them at home in 1979. Who knew that he would encounter such a thing when he went to the county town to sell things. Next time
You still have to carry it with you. Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst.
"Ah...ah..."
Zhang Mei screamed in pain, and the three children hugged each other in fear.
"I am an obstetrician and gynecologist, don't be afraid, I will deliver your baby."
Liu Chen tried his best to comfort Zhang Mei. At this time, Zhang Mei's face was pale, her head was sweating profusely, and she was grinning in pain.
"Sister, don't worry, you and the baby are important now, nothing else is important. He is really a doctor, and he delivered my sister-in-law."
Gu Wanjun held Zhang Mei's hand and said.
After all, there were very few male midwives in this era, almost none, but Gu Wanjun was an educated person who had attended high school after all. Gender was not important, life was precious.
Zhang Mei nodded. After all, she had died once. Being saved by Liu Chen and the others and being alive for so long was enough for her to earn money. What should she worry about?
"Has the water boiled?"
Gu Wanjun ran to the kitchen, where Chen Yadong was still lighting the fire. The fire had not yet been lit.
"No, not yet."
"Why are you so stupid? How long has it been since the fire was lit?"
Gu Wanjun was so angry that she really wanted to slap him a few more times. It took so long to boil the water without even igniting the fire.
"Get out of here."
Gu Wanjun took Liu Chen's lighter, grabbed a handful of firewood and lit it.
Seeing the lighter, Chen Yadong forcefully opened his swollen eyes. This thing is much easier to use than matches.
Zhang Mei usually does all the cooking. When has he ever cooked?
The boiling water came and I put the scissors in the boiling water to sterilize them.
Liu Chen saw that Zhang Mei's cervix was dilated to seven or eight fingers, and she was about to give birth.
Zhang Mei's face was a little pale in pain. Fortunately, she had eaten just now, otherwise she would not have had the energy to give birth.
Gu Wanjun took a tattered and dirty towel and wiped the sweat and tears from Zhang Mei's face. She held her hand again and said, "Sister, you must work hard and hold on."
Zhang Mei really wants to give up. It's so difficult to live. It's better to just leave and be done with it.
Seeing Gu Wanjun, Zhang Mei nodded angrily.
Liu Chen looked again and saw that it was almost done. The cervix was almost open to the tenth finger.
Zhang Mei grimaced in pain and held Gu Wanjun's hand tightly, holding the broken straw mat with her other hand. Sweat flowed down Zhang Mei's face. Gu Wanjun wiped it again and again.
Liu Chen looked at it again and frowned. No, he was lying on his back.
Although Gu Wanjun didn't understand, she could tell by looking at Liu Chen's expression that the situation was not good.
Occipito-posterior position indicates that the fetus is presented head-first, and the fetus' occipital bone is on the back side of the mother's pelvis. Occipito-posterior position is a malposition of the head, because the fetal head in the occipital-posterior position will be larger in all diameters, so it will be more difficult to pass through the bony birth canal.
difficulty.
This situation will cause the labor process to be prolonged and the fetal head to descend slowly.
But Liu Chen was still a little worried. It would be fine if the fetus's head was straightened. But if the fetal head was not straightened and turned into a persistent occipito-posterior position, it would be troublesome.
Now in Zhang Mei's house, it's too late to go to the hospital. It's not like in later generations where you can make a phone call and the ambulance will come right away.
If it becomes a persistent occipito-posterior position, it will lead to prolonged labor and blocked or delayed fetal descent. Persistent occipito-posterior dystocia may cause fetal distress, fetal scalp edema and hematoma, intracranial hemorrhage, and neonatal asphyxia.
incidence rate, increasing the chance of neonatal death.
Liu Chen took a deep breath and began to instruct Zhang Mei to breathe and give birth.
"Don't be anxious. Just follow the contractions. During the interval between contractions, you must rest and take oxygen."
"Okay, let's take a deep breath, hold your breath with the contractions, and use the power of the abdominal muscles and contractions to push the baby down."
Zhang Mei held Gu Wanjun's hand tightly, breathing along with the contractions and exerting force.
"Very good, don't worry, let's do it again."
Liu Chen tried to turn his child into a normal child, but he tried several times to no avail.
Liu Chen once again tried to turn his head and raise his head, but it was in vain.
Liu Chen was a little worried, the situation was not optimistic.
Gu Wanjun wiped Liu Chen's sweat, nodded vigorously, and solemnly said: "Come on, I believe you."
Liu Chen nodded and delivered the baby again.
The best solution for persistent occipito-posterior position is cesarean section, but there is no such condition now. Besides, in this era, normal births are generally done, and cesarean sections are very rare. Although cesarean section surgery in China is
It started in 1892 and was successful in 1902. However, in 1979, there were still very few cesarean sections. The first was because the technology was not good and the hospital conditions were limited. The second was because there were so many families.
Few people go to the hospital to give birth, and most of them are given birth at home.
Zhang Mei felt relieved. The pain was so painful that she almost suffocated. She really wanted to close her eyes like this.
"Sister, hold on, think about your children."
Liu Chen tried again.
Liu Chen was more anxious than anyone else. If there was something here, he would give the mother a caesarean section in minutes, and the baby would have been born long ago. It has been a long time.
If the child continues to make no noise, it is likely to cause fetal distress or suffocation.
Liu Chen tried again, using scissors to cut open the vagina and vagina, and then put his hand in to turn the child upright again.
Time passes minute by minute.
Everyone is very anxious.
Zhang Mei really didn't have much strength anymore. She shook her head and almost didn't have the strength to cry. "If it doesn't work, forget it. Just let me die..."
"Sister, you can't be so irresponsible. The baby hasn't been born yet. You can't give up like this. Hold on, hold on."
Gu Wanjun wiped the sweat of Zhang Mei and Liu Chen again. She saw how difficult it was for her sister-in-law to give birth last time, and she saw it again this time. It is really not easy for women.
Liu Chen went to take it out again, but the child still didn't come out.
At this time, the fetal head was severely shaped, and the biparietal diameter had not yet reached the subspinous diameter. Liu Chen shook his head again.
It's all my fault. I brought everything, but I didn't bring it. There were also tools for cesarean section.
Liu Chen turned the fetal head by hand again. This time it was better and the fetal position had improved.
"The fetal position is correct and getting better. We can't give up."
Zhang Mei really didn't have the strength at this time. She really wanted to close her eyes like this, really wanted to sleep like this. She really didn't want to bear it anymore.
"Okay, take a deep breath and work hard."
Zhang Mei heard Liu Chen's cry and used strength again.
Liu Chen placed the palm of his left hand on the fetal head to control the progress of the fetal head. He bent the fingers of his right hand to protect the vagina and assist in the delivery of the fetus.
The fetal head was delivered, the fetal body was rotated, and the shoulders were in the front-to-back position. Liu Chen gently pressed the fetal head, and the fetal front shoulders were delivered from under the pubic arch. He also slightly raised the fetal head. At this time, the fetus
The back shoulder was delivered from the perineum, and finally the baby's entire body came out.
Liu Chen took a deep breath, held the baby in his arms, and began to clean the mucus and amniotic fluid from the baby's mouth, nose, and throat.
Liu Chen was overjoyed and held the child in his hands.
The umbilical cord was cut off, the soles of the feet were slapped, and the child cried loudly.
"It's born, it's born."
Gu Wanjun quickly came over and held the baby in both hands.
"After giving birth, did you bring a baby?"
Chen Yadong heard the child's cry outside the door and crawled in to look at the child.
"Is it that important whether it's a boy or a girl? Your wife has passed away from hell, and you don't care about her. You are still thinking about the gender of the child."
Gu Wanjun looked at Chen Yadong's face and was really angry.
How is the man you are looking for? Just give him a child and you will know.
Chen Yadong took the child from Liu Chen's hand and shouted: "Haha, he is a leader, he is a leader. Haha, I have a son, I have a son!!!"
Chen Yadong shouted and gave the child to Liu Chen again. He ran out of the yard happily, shouting and jumping in the yard.
"I have a son, I have a son! I finally have a son!!!"
Chen Yadong shouted and jumped as if he had won the first prize.
"Sister, thank you for your hard work! It's a son, it's a son. You have a son."
