Nurturing

It is difficult for a loving mother to contain zinc

Young creatures see the light of day

It can be seen that the mother is in pain

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

On this day, Liu Shiyan was walking in the courtyard when she suddenly felt pain in her abdomen. As soon as I lifted my right leg, a stream of amniotic fluid gushed out, something bad, the amniotic fluid broke, and I was about to give birth!

You must know that in the Song Dynasty, when medicine was not developed, women's childbirth was like wandering in the ghost gate, and if they were not careful, women would die of dystocia.

Many women are reluctant to reproduce because of the dangers of childbirth. The dangerous production process has caused a great psychological shadow on women.

In order to avoid childbirth, some women once witnessed "their mother died in childbirth", and did not hesitate to repented of the contract before marriage and resolutely became a nun.

Someone immediately gave Fang Yu an idea, why not go and worship Mrs. Chitou?

Even if Fang Yu is well-versed in the past and the present, he doesn't know who this "Lady Chitou" is.

The midwife informed him that Lady Chitou was a woman who guarded the blood pool of the sixth hall of the Ten Yamas, and that she was responsible for the souls of women who had fallen into the blood pool due to difficult childbirth. If Mrs. Chitou takes her in, the woman can recover from the brink of death. Therefore, a woman expecting to give birth prays to the god Lady Chitou to keep her mother and child safe.

Fang Yu snorted coldly: "I don't believe it! I'll tell you." If my lady has an accident, I will let you divide the corpse of five horses! If the production goes smoothly, you can choose the gold and silver treasures!"

The midwife said: "Good vinegar, white rice, decoction stove, Chozi, boiled porridge sand bottle, filter medicine silk, vinegar charcoal basin, small stone, soup bottle, soft and hard charcoal, dry firewood grass, warm water kettle, dried grass, lying chairs, soft and thick felt, lanterns, torches, towels, oil candles, hair candles, lamp hearts." ”

Fang Yu was puzzled: "What do you want these for?"

The midwife told him that the decoction stove, choshi, and filter medicine silk are used urgently when the mother has dystocia; good vinegar and small stones are used for disinfection of the delivery room, that is, the vinegar is poured on the red-hot small stone, and the steam produced will immediately permeate the delivery room and play a sterilizing role; soup bottles, washing soap, towels, and warm water kettles are prepared for bathing newborns and giving water to mothers; lanterns, torches, oil candles, and lamp centers are used for lighting the delivery room; dried grass, sleeping chairs, and soft thick felt are the objects that should be prepared for sitting and lying down during childbirth, white rice, Cooking porridge and sand bottles is used to replenish the strength of the mother when she is hungry.

Fang Yu nodded: "What else do you need, just say it!"

The midwife thought for a while and said, "In addition, we must also prepare some things for the mother, such as Bao Qi San, Buddha Hand San, Seahorse, Horse Bit, and Birth Charm. ”

Why does it sound a little scary?

The midwife explained: "Holding these things in the mother's hand, or keeping them in the delivery room, can have a miraculous effect on overcoming difficult childbirth. ”

Fang Yu said angrily: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! Let me enter the house quickly, if my lady has a good one, I will kill your whole family! If the production goes smoothly, you can choose gold, silver and jewelry!"

The midwife nodded again and again, and then asked, "Will you give birth in a thatched hut or in a cemetery?"

"How can this be reasonable!, can a child be born in that kind of place?" Fang Yu was almost scared to death by her words.

This man is really strange, others are afraid to avoid it, but he doesn't care about anything. The midwife looked at him with a look of surprise for a long time, until he urged him again and became convinced that he was not joking.

"Second brother, take it easy, sister-in-law will be fine. ”

"In modern times, I'm not worried at all. But now in the Southern Song Dynasty, this kind of midwife is unqualified, and if one is not done well, it will kill someone. How can I not be worried?"

His fears were rightly founded. In order to comfort him, Fang Zhou provoked a topic: "Do you say that this woman of the Song Dynasty has the same family planning as us?"

Fang Yu smiled bitterly: "Plan your size!"

Due to the fact that the Southern Song Dynasty was too weak, it needed to improve its national strength through large-scale population reproduction, and even set up a special institution for the adoption of abandoned babies, which can be said to have spared no effort.

Most married women in the Southern Song Dynasty were often pregnant, unless they lost their fertility. In the 25-30 years from marriage at the age of nearly 20 to about 50 years old, women of childbearing age generally get pregnant N times, almost once a year.

"Damn!" Fang Zhou jumped up and shouted rather exaggeratedly, "Think about our modern women of childbearing age who have a child and complete the task! Think about the women of the Southern Song Dynasty, with the encouragement of the government and the hard work of men, they gave birth to one with one butt and one with one buttocks, then it is called a heavy task and a long way to go!"

Fang Yu laughed and told another story: There is a Xiucai surnamed Chen in Yongzhou who married Miss Wang and has already given birth to three sons. One year, when Xiucai was admitted to the examination and released to an official position, Miss Wang suggested that he take the children to work and stay at home to take care of his in-laws. But the family said that it was the wife's duty to accompany her husband. As a last resort, they went on the road, day and night, without normal meals and rest, and at this time Miss Wang was in the late stages of pregnancy. They arrived two months later, and Miss Wang gave birth to a child that day, and she died seven days later.

Fang Zhou was surprised again: "Once a woman is pregnant now, it is amazing, the whole family has to serve her like a queen, not to mention laundry and cooking, even if the oil bottle is poured, there is probably no need for pregnant women to help." The food standard should be improved, and if there is a headache and heat, the doctor has to tell pregnant women and their families to be very careful, and there is still a big distance from the expected delivery date, so they will be admitted to the delivery room early to give birth. ”

Fang Yu sighed, but his eyes and ears were always paying attention to the movement in the room.

But why is there no movement in there?

If it weren't for the Ark holding him desperately, he would have wanted to rush in and bear the pain with her.

"Lady, I hurt you!" Fang Yu beat his chest anxiously, sat on the ground and cried.

"Cry a ball!" Ark was both surprised and amused.

At this time, Liu Shiyan only felt that the child was falling, but she couldn't get out, not only did the pain be uncomfortable, but the pain became more and more frequent.

During this time, she bit her lip tightly, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She couldn't hear what the midwife was shouting, and at this time, she really felt that death was a relief.

When it hurt the most, when she couldn't bear it anymore, she said to the midwife intermittently, you kill the slave family with one sword!

"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to make a mistake, what should you do with the child? What about your officials? It's okay, work hard! Work hard!"

Every time she exerts force, she feels that the flesh is tearing and hurting, especially when the widest part of the baby's head is about to come out, she really feels that the meat is going to crack!

"The head is out!

"No, slave family...... The slave is going to die......"

"You can do it! work harder, you will do it right away!" the midwife jumped on her feet in a hurry, desperately encouraging her.

Shi-yeon's lips were already biting and bleeding, and the heart-rending pain made her almost faint.

After the widest part of the head comes out, the lower part of the head comes out easily, and then the midwife takes out the body, that is, the child is born.

A loud cry echoed through the room. Hey, it's a boy!

"It's a boy!"

"What a boy!" Fang Yu jumped up and clenched his fists again at the same time, his nervous palms sweating.

"Second brother looks like he's not happy?" Fang Zhou was a little puzzled.

"There's another one that hasn't come out yet!" Fang Yu didn't raise his head.

Two?!

Twins?!

But...... How did he know?

Before the midwife could breathe a sigh of relief, another head was trying to come out.

Shi-yeon couldn't stand the pain anymore and began to scream as hard as she could.

Come on, girl!

God, you are good, let my lady go, it's really not easy for me to find her......

He lingered in front of the house, praying silently in his heart.

At the midwife's urging, she exerted all her strength to exert herself several times, then rested for a while, rested for a while, and exerted herself several times, and so on and forth N times.

When another loud cry sounded, Fang Yu knelt on his knees and raised his head to the sky and cried excitedly.

But that's not all.

The midwife in the house suddenly exclaimed, "There is another one!"

I thought that the lady would no longer have pain, but when he heard this, the heart he had just put down immediately hung again, and at the same time, his mouth opened wide in shock.

Triplets?!

Although this makes people extremely happy and excited, the lady has to endure even greater pain and suffering. At this moment, he could no longer control himself, got rid of the blockade of the ark, and rushed in desperately.

"Get out! get out!" the midwife shouted loudly, what do women do when they give birth to babies and men come in?

"Lady!

Fang Yu shouted loudly, and saw Liu Shiyan sweating profusely, as if she had collapsed.

Hearing her husband's shout, Shiyan opened her eyes weakly and was weak.

Fang Yu stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and shouted loudly: "Lady, you have to hold on! Come on lady, let's carry it together! Come, follow me, inhale - hard!"

Liu Shiyan, who had eased up a little, gathered the only strength she had, her brows were furrowed, and her mouth was open, but she couldn't make any sound.

You can see that she is trying hard.

The child still hasn't come out.

She's still struggling......

The third child seemed a little quiet, a little shy, not as lively and active as the first two children, hiding in his mother's belly and not wanting to figure it out.

The pain in her heart became more and more intense, her consciousness became weaker and weaker, and she was almost out of strength to bite her lip, but she still did not give up her last effort.

Squirming and pinching, the third child's head began to come out.

But at this time, Liu Shiyan didn't seem to have any strength anymore, her eyes seemed to be open and closed, her consciousness was getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn't feel pain anymore.

"Wake up, don't sleep!"

Fang Yu's loud shouts didn't seem to help.

In a hurry, he suddenly took out a dagger and put it across his neck, and shouted: "Lady, if you have an accident, I swear, I will never live alone!

This sentence seemed to have an effect, Liu Shiyan opened her eyes slightly, Xu is she heard her husband's shout, her eyes were full of tears.

"Get through it, and we're a happy family. If you can't stand it, I'll take the child and wait for you on Huangquan Road!

Liu Shiyan listened, closed her eyes slightly, and after a while, a voice came out of her hoarse voice, for her husband, for her children, and for her family, she made the last effort when she had stepped into the ghost door with one foot.
