Chapter 460: Pregnant women have dystocia and take risks
Sitting in the carriage to the county seat, Rui'er explained the matter clearly.
It turned out that Yang Ning and his wife were in a merchant next door to their restaurant, and they were in the business of collecting mountain goods and selling them in the capital.
Yang Niangzi accidentally fell today, and the water has broken, but she has not seen red. The water flowed for a few hours, but the child never came out, Wen Po said that there was no way, the mother just relied on the water in the stomach to flush the child out, no water and no energy, where can the child be born?
Rui'er has been studying medicine in the hospital for the longest time, and she can also help treat some minor illnesses and pains, especially women.
The doctors and doctors of the Ming Dynasty are all men, and men and women are not close to each other, and they will not see a woman to see a doctor. Midwives rely on experience, and according to their experience, this is one corpse and two lives.
With Rui'er, a "medical girl", she is simply the savior of women in Sanhe County. She is Yang Ning's neighbor again, so she will naturally ask her for help.
Ke Rui'er knew the principle, but she couldn't do it herself, so she thought of the girl.
"It turned out to be a premature birth...... Let's see what happens. ”
The buckwheat cut through the corpse, and the knife was used on the living person, one was Teng Zijun's leg, and the other was the appendix of the small village owner's lower abdomen.
However, those are small wounds, caesarean sections, which is simply too risky.
It's best not to cut the abdomen, and the buckwheat holding the handle of the rattan box in your hand secretly prays.
But after seeing the situation of Yang Niangzi, Hua Buckwheat was also worried.
There is very little amniotic fluid in the belly, and the fetus is curled up in the left abdomen of the mother, which is hard and bulging, and the right abdomen has been flattened.
Fortunately, after Rui'er took the pulse, she found that the fetus still had a heartbeat.
"It's been eight hours since the water broke, and if there is no movement, the child may not be able to hold on. The family has made a decision, I don't know what Shopkeeper Yang is still insisting on? ”
The midwife was also taken aback when she saw that it was the cousin girl from Songzhuang who was invited: the cousin still knows how to deliver babies?
Mrs. Yang on the bed replied weakly:
"I'm not in good health, and it's not easy to get this child. It was my own accident that I fell this fall, and I was destined to have no chance with him, so I just ask you to keep the child, and I will be content......"
Yang Ning sighed outside the curtain, he was on his knees in Songzhuang just now and cried, also because his parents insisted on keeping him young, although he loved his wife, he was a filial son, and he couldn't bear to say the words "keep the big and go small".
Hua Buckwheat has a number in her heart.
In Daming, if it is a maternal dystocia, there are only two options, keep it big, and Wen Po will use a hook to stick it in, break the hook and take it out, the child is gone, and the adult can live.
If it is kept small, the mother's belly will be cut open with a knife and the child will be taken out, and the adult will naturally not live.
At this time, the knife is already used as a dead woman, and it is for the sake of a living child.
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Seven out of the article, no child first. Therefore, the government will only open the net for this kind of caesarean section, and turn a blind eye.
Hua Qiao smiled: "Since I choose to keep my child, I will write the deed, and I will not have to bear the responsibility at that time." ”
When Yang Ning heard this, he knew that the lady could not live, so he squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and cried silently.
Father Yang took pen and ink and quickly wrote a deed of protection, and the life and death of adults are fateful, and they have nothing to do with the midwife.
When Wen Po saw that she had set up a note, she took out the scissors she brought, and wanted to cut Yang Niangzi's belly, but Hua Qiao stopped her.
"The note was signed by me, so naturally I will do it, and the money will be yours. This is a prescription, you asked Yang Ning to hurry up and grab the medicine. ”
Wen Po only cared about the happy money given, and took the prescription of the anesthetic "Sleep Shengsan" with a smile and went out.
"Miss Rui'er, please help me prepare oil lamps and spirits." The buckwheat had opened the rattan basket she had brought, and her scalpel, scissors, needles and threads were all inside.
The most important thing is that they are equipped with a lot of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs handed down by Dr. Cao's family, and these drugs have played a huge role in those two operations.
Yang Niangzi drank the anesthetic soup and fell asleep, everything was ready.
Hua Buckwheat picked up the scalpel soaked in the spirits, roasted it on the fire again, and took a deep breath, the air was filled with the smell of Rui'er roasted herbs.
She nodded at Rui'er, stretched out her hand, and swiped it towards Yang Niangzi's stomach.
After finally cutting open the uterus, she carefully took the child out, cut the umbilical cord, and handed it to Wen Po.
Wen Po skillfully lifted the child upside down and hit him with two boards on his buttocks, and the child cried "wow".
"I'm so happy, it's a brother!"
She wrapped up the child with a smile and carried it out to report the good news.
After the buckwheat clears the placenta and fluid accumulation in the abdomen, it begins to suture layer by layer and administer medicine.
Yang Niangzi had actually woken up in pain, she was thinking about the child in a daze, and she felt a warm hand on her wound......
Wen Po received the happy money outside and wanted to come in to see if the mother was dead.
Unexpectedly, I saw that the buckwheat was seriously stitching the epidermis. She rubbed her eyes, and yes, the cousin was sewing up the dissected belly with a needle and thread.
What a kind person! She sighed, so gentle even with the dead.
But the cousin not only sewed it up, but also sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder, and finally wrapped the wound in a cloth.
Two tears fell from the corners of Yang Niangzi's eyes, she was awake now, because the wound had just been sprinkled with local anesthetic medicine, and she didn't feel much pain.
"Cousin...... Child...... I want to see ...... kids."
Rui'er smiled and went out to call Yang Ning. Yang Ning, who was hanging his head outside, heard that the lady was still alive? She...... It's up to the kids!
He snatched the child from his mother's hand, and rushed in, the child he didn't want to see just now.
Standing on the edge of the bed, he was too timid to stop.
"Husband, I want to see our children." Yang Niangzi said with a smile, and big tears rolled down with the joy of the rest of her life after the catastrophe.
"Lady...... You ......"
He looked nervously at her belly, which was wrapped in gauze, and there was a little red spot on the gauze, which was soaked in blood a little bit.
Hua Qiao said with a smile: "The anti-inflammatory decoction is three times a day, three bowls of water and one bowl of medicine." If you notice a fever, go to the pharmacy to grab antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The rest is up to your lady to recover. ”
"Brother Yang, I will come over tomorrow to change the dressing for Mrs. Yang."
Rui'er pulled the girl over, and now she saw that the danger had been turned into a disaster, and she didn't know how happy she was. This is the joy that only healers can experience.
The others, including Wen Po, all stood there dumbfounded:
Difficult birth, the size has been saved, unheard of. My cousin must know how to do witchcraft!
Soon, word spread all over Trois-Rivières County.
The cousin who is not married can deliver babies, heal, and witchcraft.
Sitting under the verandah, holding Xiao Yunyi's buckwheat to play, he told the truth to Sister-in-law Liu:
"This is the first time for me, by signing the deed of 'keeping the small', I dare to do it, if I said at the beginning, I want adults and children to protect at the same time, I may not have the courage."
Yun Yi looked at Hua Qiao and smiled happily, and stuffed his hand that was full of saliva into Hua Qiao's mouth.
Niang must be a fairy.
Yunyi thought happily.
