Amniotic fluid, the fluid that fills the amniotic cavity.
Amniotic fluid helps the fetus to develop. With a certain volume of amniotic fluid in the uterine cavity to provide a larger range of activities, the fetus can do appropriate breathing exercises and physical activities, stretch the body, and prevent problems such as joint fixation, limb deformities, and fetal limb adhesions. .
Amniotic fluid can also keep the intrauterine temperature constant, benefit the balance of fetal body fluids, buffer external pressure, and play a series of roles during labor.
When the amniotic fluid is too much, the pregnant woman will have many symptoms such as shortness of breath and heartbeat, and it will also cause the fetus to float too much in the uterus, resulting in problems such as fetal position.
When the amniotic fluid is too small, it will greatly increase the risk of various congenital abnormalities in the fetus, especially urinary system abnormalities.
Without amniotic fluid, it is impossible for a fetus to develop and be born normally and healthy, and it is impossible for a pregnant woman to complete her pregnancy.
But... why is amniotic fluid called amniotic fluid
Why is the amniotic cavity called the amniotic cavity
This is because the amniotic membrane is translated from English. The English word "amnion" of the amniotic membrane comes from the Greek "amnos", which means a lamb - because a lamb is born with a layer of fetal membranes, it is extended this statement.
But why did the ancient Greeks associate the amniotic membrane of a pregnant woman with a lamb
A strange hoarse sound resounded in the delivery room, and the woman lying on her back in the delivery bed had bruised veins all over her face. The pain of childbirth was the limit of human pain, but now it suddenly increased several times, and the woman almost lost her mind in pain. , her body was beating fast and her blood pressure was soaring.
The anesthetist next to her looked at the monitor anxiously. Anyone with a little medical knowledge here knows that the parturient is already on the verge of life and death.
"The power of darkness is intensifying!" Zhang Haolin also hurriedly communicated with the command center, "The mother can't take it anymore, do you want to suspend Kalop's delivery?"
In front of Dongzhou's screen, Gu Jun's face was covered with sweat. He is the commander in chief of this operation. After all, he is most familiar with the medical technology of this alien.
If you have to choose between a pregnant woman and a baby...
Gu Jun was about to say the word stop, and his heart ached like a twist.
It's a tough choice, and it's not a choice that should exist.
"Wait first!" Chen Miaojuan heard Zhang Haolin's words over there, and she also knew about these emergency plans before giving birth, but she was unwilling to give up. Experience also told her that when it was time to give up, there was still a chance, because this pregnant woman was enough. tenacious.
After Chen Miaojuan yelled, she called out the pregnant woman's name: "Liang Min, Liang Min!" While continuing to deliver the baby, she squeezed the baby's mucus and nose with her left hand neatly from the base of her nose to her chin. Amniotic fluid is squeezed out.
Normal amniotic fluid is a colorless, transparent alkaline liquid, but this is the first time Chen Miaojuan has seen the liquid squeezed out of the baby's mouth and nose in more than ten years since she gave birth.
It was also the first time she had seen it since she delivered ten abnormal babies.
This made her stunned, and her left hand almost trembled, which destroyed the operation requirements of Kalop's delivery operation.
Not only her, but also the anesthetist, midwife, nurse and others beside her were also stunned. The experienced instrument nurse couldn't bear the restlessness in her head, and hurriedly vomited before she vomited due to strong dizziness and nausea. ran away from the delivery bed.
The mucus and amniotic fluid were both a strange dark black color, slightly viscous, and gave off a peculiar smell.
The Tianji medical team in the delivery room was alarmed immediately. It looked a bit like the ink of black goat cubs, but the color was not as thick or dark green.
Gu Jun was also slightly taken aback. This situation was not mentioned in the reward instructions for Kalop's birth delivery.
Some thoughts quickly turned in his mind. This is the first time that this has happened. None of the foreign babies in the past were born with this symptom, and millions of foreign babies did not. This must have something to do with Kalop's delivery. The black goat cub is very angry now, could this be the result of the birthing technique...
It's like detoxification, removing the connection between the baby's body and another womb...
Or revenge inflicted by black goat cubs? New alien baby? new lesion
"Don't touch that kind of amniotic fluid!" He was still thinking, and at the same time he warned: "Avoid direct skin contact, don't be splashed!"
They still don't know whether this abnormal amniotic fluid can also cause human mutations.
In order to allow her hands to be flexible enough to deliver the baby, Chen Miaojuan is only wearing a level-three protective suit, which can block liquids, but there is always danger.
At this moment, perhaps the safest measure is to ask Chen Miaojuan and others to stop, step aside, and let the Tianji team quickly put on airtight protective clothing to take over.
But in that case, this Kalop delivery will also fail.
"Don't make noise, let me finish this delivery!"
Chen Miaojuan yelled away the Tianji personnel who came forward to inquire. She was in the way. In the delivery room, she was an expert, and the black amniotic fluid was just amniotic fluid. Those fatal problems during the production process did not appear... The fetal head also looked normal...
At the same time, she assisted in the repositioning and external rotation of the fetal head until the diameter of the fetus' shoulders was the same as the anterior-posterior diameter of the pelvic outlet.
"Liang Min, hold on a little longer, the fetal head has come out, it's almost ready, for yourself, for your child! Hold on a little longer!"
"Ah..." Suddenly, the pregnant woman uttered a human voice again. Although her heartbeat and blood pressure did not drop, her eyes seemed to be a little brighter.
Next to the delivery bed, her husband held her hand tightly, "Come on, my wife..."
On the Dongzhou side, seeing this change, Gu Jun immediately said to the front line of the delivery room: "Listen to Director Chen, let her judge!" He was neither at the scene nor an expert in delivery, so there was no reason to hinder Director Chen's efforts, and He also felt that the black goat cub hadn't won yet and was still seeing.
While the delivery operation continued, a Tianji midwife went to change the airtight protective clothing just in case.
At this juncture, Chen Miaojuan really couldn't care less, even if she was just wearing ordinary surgical gowns, she couldn't care less.
She protects the pregnant woman with her right hand, and gently presses down on the baby's neck with her left hand. When the baby's front shoulder is delivered from under the pubic arch, she supports the baby's neck again, so that the baby's back shoulder is delivered slowly. After the baby's shoulders were delivered, her right hand was relaxed, and then both hands assisted the fetal body and lower limbs to be delivered in a lateral position.
These steps were completed fairly smoothly.
The fully delivered baby was a boy with no congenital deformities of limbs.
But everyone's hanging heart has never let go, and Gu Jun is also silently watching nervously.
With the assistance of the midwife, Chen Miaojuan took a suction tube to clean the baby's airway. The mucus and amniotic fluid sucked out were all black and dirty.
After confirming that the suction is clean, at this time, you can gently pat the newborn's buttocks or soles to stimulate the newborn to cry loudly.
The bloody and wrinkled baby was still silent, which made its parents and the surrounding medical staff worry about it.
Chen Miaojuan's heart sank, and she slapped the baby's butt with her left hand.
The next few seconds were extremely long for people inside and outside the delivery room, as if everything had come to a standstill.
But suddenly, there was a clear and piercing sound that broke the silence, like a ray of sunlight piercing a dark cloud.
"Wow, wow..." The baby opened his mouth and cried loudly, and was held firmly by Chen Miaojuan.
There is no abnormality judgment, no alien baby.
