Chapter 9 Dystocia
"You can't sleep, can you?"
Ziggy was about to greet everyone one by one, when suddenly there was a commotion among the villagers, and Ziggy's attention was drawn to the blacksmith's side again, and the crowd automatically loosened up, as if someone had come out of the door of Finn's blacksmith's shop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How's it going?" the villagers' clamor was accompanied by concerned inquiries.
"Hey......" a middle-aged woman sighed, and with this sigh, everyone present, including Zig, could hear that the blacksmith Finn's wife was not in a good situation.
"Finn, if there is any accident, are you going to protect the child or the adult?" Ziggy saw clearly this time, it was a middle-aged nun who spoke, it was the nuns in the common monastery of Grizzly Village and several nearby villages, these nuns usually serve the god Odin in the convent, and at the same time also practice some simple medical skills, and it is also one of the main jobs of the nuns of the convent.
"What do you mean by that?" Blacksmith Finn's heart tightened again, knowing that what Mama Andreina said was definitely not a good sign, but he still didn't want to believe the truth and asked Mama Andreina, and at the same time, Blacksmith Finn's heart sank to the bottom, and his body was half cold.
"Protect the adult or protect the child!" Ziggy couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and after doing the math, from last night's nightfall until this morning, Blacksmith Finn's wife gave birth in it for at least eight hours!
To protect the child or to protect the adult? This seems to be a simple multiple-choice question, but in fact there is a huge, bloody, and cruel truth hidden behind it.
In fact, when the midwife Andreina asked this question, both adults and children were still alive!
Notice the words "all alive".
The midwife asked such a question, which means that the wife of the blacksmith Fein has encountered a problem that many women have, dystocia!
Because the fetus is too large, or the fetal position is not correct, resulting in the mother can not give birth to the child smoothly, at this time, if you want to choose "to protect the adult or to protect the child", it means to kill one of them, the other can live!
Due to dystocia, the mother's body is bound to be weak, and it is impossible to give birth to the child by the mother herself, but the child is stuck in the uterus of the mother's birth canal, and it is very cruel to face this choice at this time.
If you choose to protect the adult, then you have to use a variety of tools similar to scissors or pliers, reach into the birth canal, and cut the unborn baby into pieces! You read that right, it is to cut and shredd, cut the fetus in the maternal birth canal, and then take out the fetal corpse from the birth canal piece by piece, it turned out that the fetus was stuck in the uterine opening and could not get out, now it is cut and broken, and it becomes a small piece, and it is easy to take it out, but at this time I want to know.
It's cruel! But it can save the life of the mother, so the early medical community in Europe also invented a tool called cranial crusher, which is specially ...... I can't write anymore, it's too cruel, everyone look at the name of that tool and guess its usage.
If you choose to keep the child, that is, use scissors to completely cut the birth canal of the mother, so that the fetus can be born alive and complete, but what about the mother? The completely cut birth canal is impossible to suture and heal, and soon the mother will hemorrhage and die.
So no matter which of the two choices, which one is cruel and bloody behind it.
I don't know if you remember the Opium War? And Victoria Bay in Hong Kong?
The judges may wonder why they suddenly talk about the Opium War?
During the Opium War in 1840, Britain was at the height of its national power, and the British called it the Victorian era at that time! The Opium War led to the cession of Hong Kong by the Qing government.
In fact, maybe the dystocia did not happen, the heyday of Britain should not be called the Victorian era, but the Charlotte era, and the deep-water bay in Hong Kong should not be called Victoria Bay, but Charlotte Bay.
You must be wondering, who is Charlotte?
Charlotte was the only daughter of King George IV and the only legitimate heir to the British throne at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Princess Charlotte!
And Princess Charlotte died in childbirth in November 1817, when she was nineteen years old!
It is said that Britain was already the most powerful country in the world at that time, and its military, economic, and scientific and technological levels were all first-class in the world.
But Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of the King of England and the sole legitimate heir to the throne, can't escape the difficult birth, like all women.
At that time, Princess Charlotte was 19 years old, but she gave birth to a child for four days and four nights, and neither mother nor child was saved! At that time, all the citizens and media in Britain frantically accused the top British obstetrician who delivered Princess Charlotte's birth, and finally caused the obstetrician to commit suicide with a gun.
The author himself is here to say something private, birthday is Mother's Good Friday, there is nothing to celebrate.
Most of the people who read this book are boys, whether they are working or studying in school, they can do an experiment by themselves, an experiment that is just imagining.
Imagine for yourself, what would you feel if you pulled your upper lip up, all the way up, all the way up to the top of your head, and your lower lip down, all the way down to the bottom of your neck.
That's right, this kind of feeling is the feeling of a woman giving birth to a child, the birth canal is dilated, and it is difficult for a boy to experience the pain of giving birth? So what kind of thing as giving carnations on Mother's Day is never worth saying to your mother on your own birthday, Mom, you have worked hard.
Let's imagine that it will be difficult to support it for a while, not to mention that Princess Charlotte has supported it for four days and four nights!
Princess Charlotte died in the end, maybe in the four days and four nights before she died, maybe she had already been tortured by childbirth and didn't want to live in this world, right?
Therefore, in the face of difficult childbirth, the fate of women is so equal, whether it is a high-ranking princess or an ordinary peasant woman, whether the status is noble or lowly, they are all going through the ghost gate!
Without the help of modern medical technology, the mortality rate of dystocia is very high, as high as 15 percent! It is hard to imagine that a woman who gives birth to a child has a little more than a seven-in-seven chance of dying, and a woman giving birth is equivalent to stepping into a coffin, and the entire medical profession has no effective way to ensure the safety of mother and child.
Mother is great not only because she raised us, but also because she risked her life to give birth to us.
Whether in ancient foreign or domestic countries, whether in the present world or in another world, before the technology has advanced, the most effective way to deal with dystocia is to do the cruel multiple-choice question of "protecting adults or children", and it is possible to keep one of them after completing this multiple-choice question.
