The madam suddenly realized, her eyes showing surprise: "I heard your husband mention you, but I didn't expect you to be such a distinguished girl. I really appreciate you for coming all the way."
Yuan Qiu shook his head and poured in more milk. After she drank it, he said again: "Madam, you have not given birth for two days because the amniotic membrane is thick and tough and cannot tear on its own. If necessary measures are not taken, I am afraid it will cause Hemorrhagic collapse will be very dangerous at that time.”
When the lady heard this, she looked shocked and asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
"Madam, please listen to me. I will keep you and your child safe. Don't get excited. I will take care of everything." She gently patted the back of the lady's hand and motioned for her to lie down gently.
Although the girl in front of her looked childish, she had a trust in the girl that she had never had before. Even the midwife and the doctor invited by the house had never gained this trust from her.
She cleaned her hands, took out the long needle soaked in wine, inserted the long needle into the woman's body, cut the amniotic membrane, the amniotic fluid surged out, and a new round of strong contractions began again.
She handed a piece of cloth to Madam's mouth: "Madam, from now on is the most critical time. Your strength is limited, so you must not waste it. You bite this first, hold your breath and use your strength."
This was not the first time for Mrs. Chen to give birth to a child, so she naturally understood the consequences of exhaustion, and she believed in and obeyed Yuan Qiu's words.
Yuan Qiu used what he had learned in his previous life to use acupuncture and abdominal massage techniques to help push the weak fetus into the pelvis.
The midwife had seen this technique before, pushing and pressing at the same time. She was so frightened that she said in a panic: "Miss Xia, the old lady said, the fetus must not be harmed. If you push and press like this, the baby will indeed be born." But what if I hurt the child?"
Yuan Qiu knew the meaning of her words and immediately said sarcastically: "If you can't hurt the child, how can you hurt the wife?"
The midwife's expression changed slightly, her eyes quickly glanced at the madam, and she quickly defended: "Of course not, the old madam didn't mean that."
Whether this is what she meant, Mrs. Chen was not stupid, she naturally knew what kind of person this mother-in-law was. She knew better than anyone else what kind of person this mother-in-law was.
"It's out, the child's head is out." A maid suddenly shouted.
Yuan Qiu's attention was always focused, and he naturally saw that the child's head had come out. When he looked closely, he saw that there were two loops of umbilical cord wrapped around the child's neck.
At the same time, the two midwifery maids also discovered this situation. They were selected to assist in the delivery room and had some experience in women giving birth. Knowing that this was a very dangerous situation, they immediately exclaimed: " The umbilical cord is strangling the child’s neck, what should I do, what should I do?”
Yuan Qiu was relatively calm. She keenly observed that although the umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck twice, it was not tight. There was still plenty of space. As long as the subsequent movements were fast, there would be no danger.
Without thinking much, she quickly squeezed her hand into Mrs. Chen's body, supported the child's body with one palm, and stretched out two fingers with the other hand to fix the position of the umbilical cord to prevent the umbilical cord from tightening around the neck due to the child's push.
The instant pain caused Mrs. Chen to spit out the cloth and cry out. With this cry, the child was successfully separated from the mother's body. Yuan Qiu quickly removed the umbilical cord around the neck. The maid holding scissors at the side reacted quickly after a brief daze and rushed forward. He cut the umbilical cord and patted the child's butt. The baby's loud cries immediately filled the interior room.
The old lady and Mr. Chen who heard the cry of the baby outside the door stood up from the imperial chair at the same time. The old lady hurriedly asked: "Boy or girl?"
