Mrs. Han Wu was sitting on the couch. Because of the cold, she was already surrounded by fox fur, and the brazier was still lit in the room. As soon as Man Bao entered the room, she felt a wave of heat rushing towards her face.
Man Bao paused before following Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han smiled and introduced Manbao to everyone.
It was with everyone, not only the two wives of the Li family, but also Mrs. Li San, and Li Sanlang, the husband of Mrs. Han Wu.
The room was already hot, and with so many people together, Man Bao felt it was even hotter.
However, she glanced at Mrs. Han Wu who was still wearing fox fur and said nothing. After nodding to everyone, she turned her head and said to Xiao Shao: "Take out the pulse pillow, Mrs. Wu, I'll take your pulse first."
Everyone still wanted to chat with Man Bao, but seeing that she started to see a doctor as soon as she came in, they didn't bother her, and stood aside first and waited.
Xiao Shao immediately took out the pulse pillow and set it up. Man Bao showed Miss Han Wu's pulse and asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"
The nurse at the side immediately replied: "The imperial doctor diagnosed it, and it will be eight months in a few days."
Man Bao glanced at her huge belly, and was also a little worried. He got up and said, "Shall we go into the inner room to check?"
Mrs. Han Wu nodded slightly, and the nanny immediately helped her up and went to the inner room. Mrs. Han apologized to everyone and followed in.
Most of the maids in the inner room retreated, leaving only a close maid of Mrs. Han Wu.
She and Mammy brought in two braziers, and then began to undress Mrs. Han Wu.
Man Bao asked while washing his hands: "Miss Han Wu, are you afraid of the cold?"
"Yes," Miss Han Wu replied in a low voice: "I have been afraid of the cold since I was a child, and it became even worse after I was pregnant."
The nanny said, "My wife's hands and feet are always cold in winter."
Man Bao nodded, knowing that she was uncomfortable lying on her back, so she asked the servant girl to put a pillow on her back, let her lean on the pillow, rubbed her palms and then touched her stomach.
Mrs. Han Wu is obviously not only afraid of the cold, but also afraid of pain. Man Bao just pressed down, and she frowned and shrank slightly, and she cried out that it hurts a little more.
Man Bao frowned, and asked her many questions in a low voice, but it was not she who answered the questions, but the nurse and girl beside her.
Man Bao also knew that these ladies from rich families probably didn't know as much about their bodies as these nuns and maids.
It's just that the question of whether it hurts or not can't be answered by Mammy.
After touching her belly, Man Bao returned to the original point, pushed her stomach slightly and asked again: "How do you feel when I push like this?"
Mammy wanted to answer again, so Man Bao looked up at her and said with a smile, "Let Fifth Lady tell."
Mrs. Han Wu paused and said, "It hurts."
"How painful, can you bear it?"
Lady Han Wu gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."
But Man Bao saw that she was sweating on her forehead, obviously in severe pain. Man Bao didn't feel any pain in his hands, so he continued to push forward. Mrs. Han Wu couldn't help crying out in pain, and her face turned pale.
Mrs. Han stepped forward anxiously, "Miss Zhou..."
Man Bao lightened his hand and rubbed it lightly. Mrs. Han Wu let out a breath and felt much better again.
At this time, Mrs. Han Wu's bulging belly moved, and the child in her belly kicked twice. Mrs. Han Wu laughed when she saw it, and said to Man Bao: "Look, doctor, the child is kicking me."
Man Bao sighed inwardly, but nodded with a smile on his face, "Yes, the child is very lively."
Man Bao withdrew his hand, gave her the inner garment, pulled the quilt over it, and said: "Miss Han Wu, you should rest first, I will discuss the prescription with your husband and sister, and I will show it to you later."
Mrs. Han Wu was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Why, do I still need to take medicine?"
She glanced at her elder sister hesitantly, and asked, "Didn't you come to deliver my baby?"
Man Bao nodded, "I need to make some preparations before giving birth."
After finishing speaking, she got up and nodded to Mrs. Han, then turned and went out.
Mrs. Han then said to the maid: "You take good care of your wife."
After finishing speaking, he followed out, and Mammy also hurriedly followed.
The people in the outer room were waiting while drinking tea and chatting. When they saw Man Bao and the others coming out, they stood up with a smile and asked, "Have you seen it? How is it?"
Man Bao nodded to them with a smile, and looked at Mrs. Han, "Ms. Han, can we find a place to talk?"
Mrs. Han really didn't want too many people to know about her little sister, so she nodded and said to her brother-in-law Li Sanlang, "Let's go to the study."
The two wives of the Li family were stunned, and asked with a smile, "What do you mean, didn't this little doctor Zhou come to see if the fetal position is right, and prepare to deliver the baby later?"
Mrs. Li San grabbed the two sister-in-laws and smiled: "Let them go. The sister-in-law just said that she would give me a taste of the new tea that just came in from the house. It happened to be cheaper for me."
The two wives of the Li family came to their senses quickly, nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, if you like it, I'll wrap you up a little more later."
Man Bao went to the study with them to talk, just two nuns, Mrs. Han and Li Sanlang.
As soon as the door was closed, Man Bao said straight to the point: "Ms. Han Wu's condition is not very good. First of all, the child is too big. I touched her around and found that the child's head circumference is large, while her pelvis is small; also, her The fetal position is malformed, with the baby's head on top."
The two nurses on the side nodded together. One of them was a nurse who took care of Mrs. Han Wu's childbirth, and the other was a midwife that their family had invited from Yongzhou. They were very skilled.
"But that's not the worst. The worst thing is that her pain nerves are more sensitive than the average person."
Mrs. Han asked, "What is this?"
Man Bao took out a needle and gently pricked it on the back of his hand, saying: "That is, ordinary people will only feel a sting when pricked by this needle, but she can feel like being pricked by a knife." It hurts, and the pain lasts longer."
"It's natural," she said.
Mrs. Han and Li Sanlang nodded together, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Fifth has been very afraid of pain since she was a child."
Man Bao said: "So, even if I have small hands, I can correct the fetal position in my body, and I can find a way to let her have this overgrown child, but she will not be able to give birth, because she is in too much pain and she can't bear it. "
Mrs. Han turned pale, and asked, "What can I do?"
Man Bao frowned and said, "Actually, there are two ways, but I haven't tried them, so I'm not sure."
She said: "One is to directly open the abdomen to obtain a child, and the other is to prepare medicine to make her less painful."
Mrs. Han and Li Sanlang said without thinking, "Choose the second one."
Man Bao shook his head and said, "The second one is the one I'm most unsure of. In comparison, I suggest you choose the first one."
Mrs. Han's eyes widened, and she asked unhappily: "What do you mean, Mrs. Zhou, when you gave birth to Mrs. Yue, you didn't want to have a baby. Why did you come to my sister? Give up my sister's life?"
"Ms. Han misunderstood, even if the abdomen is taken, I will give priority to ensuring the safety of the adults," Man Bao said: "I am talking about the abdomen and take the child, not directly cutting open the belly with scissors like the old lady Wen said. .”
