The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 10 In Production

In the room, Li Sanniang tried her best to see if the fetal head came out by the light coming from the wooden window pane.

At this time, Li Sanniang listened to Li Ersao's muffled cry of pain, but what she was thinking in her mind was: Why didn't Emperor Wu light up the golden finger of engineering, this burns a glass to make more money, if the whole glass window can be pressed in the house , the lighting is better, not to mention, it is also convenient for you to observe the status of the labor process.

Now, Li Sanniang is fortunate that the Li family is still considered small and homely, the wooden window is not too small, and the window paper pasted on it is still quite transparent. Dim oil lamp, I really doubt whether I can see clearly.

"what"

"Second sister-in-law try harder, I think the little nephew is coming out soon!"

With a handkerchief in her mouth, she was sweating profusely, and the sweat gathered into droplets soaked her entire neck. When she heard Li Sanniang's words, she exerted herself again!
Looking at the situation, Li Sanniang wondered whether Second Sister-in-Law had eaten well when she was pregnant with this baby, or whether the baby's head was already big, and it looked like it was about to tear this time.

Li Sanniang immediately went to get the small scissors that had been boiled and washed on the white cloth on the table, and said firmly to the second sister-in-law Li: "Second sister-in-law, this fetus is a bit big, I think it is going to tear, and the amniotic fluid is almost running out. Use scissors to cut the bottom for you first, let the child come out first, and I will sew it up for you later. Second sister-in-law, trust me. Sanniang will definitely let you and my little nephew be safe."

After hearing this, Second Aunt Li was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded, the child is the most important thing!

Seeing that Mrs. Li agreed, Li Sanniang directly chose the angle and cut it with small scissors.

Sister-in-law Li supported Second-sister-in-law Li and listened to what Li Sanniang said, and saw her holding the scissors, she was terrified, it hurt so much.

But in fact, when the lateral incision was about to be performed, the pain of childbirth had already covered up the pain of the lateral incision, and it was not as painful as imagined.

After all, having a baby is already one of the most painful human extremes.

Sure enough, after the lateral incision, there was enough space for the fetal head to come out, and the last bit of amniotic fluid was lost along with the delivery of the baby.

Li Sanniang quickly and gently cleaned the mucus from the baby's mouth and nose with her fingers. Seeing that he could breathe on his own, she asked Mrs. Li to wrap it in a clean and soft cloth first, and cleaned the scissors that had been cut sideways before. I pulled the umbilical cord, tied it with a thread, took the baby, patted the back, and heard the loud cry of wah wah wah before I felt relieved.

After showing the baby to Second Aunt Li, she asked Second Aunt Li to lie down and wait for the placenta to be delivered so that Second Aunt Li could sew the lateral wound.

Second Sister-in-Law looked at the crying little son, yes, he was a young gentleman, Second Sister-in-law Li could finally let go of her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and lay down to rest.

Li Sanniang saw that the placenta was delivered completely. She took Li Wulang who was wiped off by Mrs. Li with a cloth towel dipped in warm water to remove the vernix and other dirt on her body. The second sister-in-law Li was lying on her chest, and asked the elder sister-in-law to report a letter to Father Li, and then asked Father Li to come to the door.

Although Li's father is a doctor who mainly diagnoses pulses and prescribes decoctions for people, Li Sanniang remembers that when Li Sanniang was a child, when he first entered the city guards, he came back covered in blood. No one knew why he was like this, but Li Sanniang hid it secretly. I saw that Father Li used a needle to sew a long gash on Brother Li's back.

When Brother Li first got married, when he was flushing himself with well water in the courtyard in the scorching summer, Li Sanniang, who was about six or seven years old, saw the centipede scar on Brother Li's back.

So, after Li Sanniang searched the memories earlier, she felt that Father Li had a story. These are the reasons.

When Father Li knocked on the door, he stood at the door and asked, "Sanniang, why is it called Aye? How about Erlang's wife? But what's the matter? Do you need a prescription from Aye?"

Li Sanniang walked to the door with her hands tied, and said to Father Li through the door: "Don't worry, Aye, the second sister-in-law is fine, and Wu Lang is also fine, but I saw that the second sister-in-law showed signs of tearing during childbirth, so I cut it.

Now I need to wait for the afterbirth to come out, so my son can help the second sister-in-law sew it up well. It turns out that the needle in the mother's basket for puncturing the membranes can be used, but there is a lack of sutures.

If Aye has it, I can borrow it for my son to use. If not, please ask Aye to boil and wash a piece of cotton thread, dry it and give it to my son.Let Li Gui hurry up and buy a pot of shochu. "

"There's some sheep gut, just wait, I'll go to the room and bring it to you, is one foot enough?"

When Li Sanniang heard Father Li's question, she wanted to sew up two layers of wounds. One foot would be thirty centimeters, which was enough.

"Aye, that's enough."

"What do you want that liquor for? To wash wounds?"

"I guess Aye must understand. Yes, I plan to use it to clean wounds and needles. I saw it in the new "Practice Medicine Essentials: A Must-See for Ulcer Doctors" published by the Imperial Medical Office. Is Aye the same?"

"We'll discuss these matters later. You should keep your second sister-in-law close."

Li Sanniang went back to see Li Ersao, but Li Ersao was still alive, holding the baby in her arms, and said to Li Sanniang, "Sanniang, look at him, he is hungry, and his mouth is so pouty. I have no milk this time, but why?" Is life good?"

I don't know if it's a matter of love for my mother or hormones, Second Aunt Li burst into tears as she spoke.

"Second sister-in-law, you don't want to cry during confinement.

It's okay, I will ask my sister-in-law to boil some rice oil first, and then ask Aye to prescribe a milk prescription for you, and you will have milk to drink tomorrow.

do not worry.I see that the afterbirth has been delivered and is very complete. I will bury it under the tree in your yard later.

After a while, Aye takes the thread, and I will sew it on for my sister-in-law. It may be a little uncomfortable, so bear with me, second sister-in-law. "

"There's nothing I can't bear. This time it's thanks to you, my sister-in-law, and Aye. My suffering is nothing."

"Don't say I don't suffer, this time I watched Sanniang deliver the baby for you, and I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat, you have committed a terrible crime.

Nuo, I'll feed this small bowl of rice oil to our Goro. You drink this bowl of millet porridge first to restore some strength. "

Mrs. Li is really a good sister-in-law. No wonder in ancient times, the eldest son and daughter-in-law had to find a responsible person. Mrs. Li was loved and valued by Li's father and mother, and the rest of the family did not disrespect her. This behavior of Mrs. Li, It just reveals the style of a lady.

Father Li also handed over a roll of sheep gut wrapped in cloth outside the door, and the third mother took it and opened it to see that it was quite new, probably made within the past year.

The advantage of catgut is that it is easy to absorb, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to infect. Therefore, Li Sanniang asked Ludi to sterilize it with shochu.

I don’t know if there is any wine with high alcohol content now. For example, the sorghum wine “Shaodaozi”, which is very popular in Northeast China in later generations, can reach [-] or [-] degrees. Although it is not as good as medical alcohol, it is really good.

When the placenta is fully delivered, the soju also arrives.

After Li Sanniang confessed that it would be more painful, she first asked Mrs. Li to put Xiao Wulang on the bed, then pressed Mrs. Li, bit a handkerchief for Mrs. Li, wiped the needle first, dipped some shochu with a clean cloth towel, and wiped it off quickly. The second sister-in-law Li clenched her teeth and was sweating profusely after touching the wound, and the elder sister-in-law Li who was pressing her was also dripping with sweat.

Taking advantage of the burning momentum, Li Sanniang hurriedly sewed up the second sister-in-law Li. There was no needle holder, no vascular forceps, no curved needles, so she just made do with sewing needles to puncture and tie the knot.

There was no anesthetic, and none of the four people present was sweating profusely except for a little baby boy. It was already summer, and to avoid suspicion, only a crack was left in the door and the windows were closed. People are getting hotter.

He quickly finished stitching for Mrs. Li, and then wiped the wound on the surface with a cloth towel dipped in soju.

Helped Li Ersao to find out the menstrual bag that Li Sanniang had complained about to be reused before. Li Sanniang said that she wanted to take it to the kitchen to bake, but Li Ersao didn't care and used it directly.

Alas, Li Sanniang thinks that if she has a chance in the future, she must make some menstrual things that are at least made of cotton and will not be reused!
Mrs. Li hugged Xiao Wulang, and Li Sanniang hurriedly helped Mrs. Li clean up the blood, changed her clothes, and put pillows on her. Let Mrs. Li lie down on the quilt on the floor to rest.

When Second Brother Li comes back, it will be fine to let Second Brother Li carry him to the bed. In fact, Aunt Li and Li Sanniang can't carry Second Sister Li together, and they are afraid of touching the wound, so they can only wait for Second Brother Li to come back.

Li Wulang drank rice oil, but he was easy to serve, and he was already sound asleep, so he was a good child.

When Li Sanniang dug a hole under the pomegranate tree in Mrs. Li's yard to bury the placenta, the four little ones came back from school.

The four little ones were all overjoyed when they heard that Mrs. Li had given birth to a young man. They would be happy to have a little brother when they came home from school.

Several people begged Mrs. Li to take a look at Xiao Wulang at the door, but Li Silang couldn't control his mouth, so he opened his mouth and said, "Why does he look like a little old man, he's so ugly."

Li's father knocked on him and said, "You were uglier than this when you were born. All children look like this. After two days, you will look better."

"Haha, I remember that Shiro was not as good-looking as Goro when he was born, at least Goro's hair grew well, and Shiro didn't have any hair at that time." Li Sanlang insisted on teasing Li Silang a few times, and the two brothers said There was a fight in the yard.

Father Li asked them to keep their voices down so as not to interrupt Mrs. Li's rest, turned around, and explained to Li Dalang again: "Go to the street and call a donkey cart to pick up your grandma and second uncle at the gate of the city. I will take the household allowance later." Here it is, just in case if you go back to Fangmen after the curfew time, it can be used as a certificate."

After saying that, Father Li went back to his room and took the household sticker, gave Li Dalang another piece of silver, and let him go out after a few more instructions.

Before Li's mother and Li's second brother came back from the countryside, Li Sanniang first used the small half pot of hot water left by Li's father in the kitchen to scrub her head, face and arms, and changed into a skirt. If you want to be completely refreshed, you have to ask Brother Li to help carry two buckets of water to the house at night.

As soon as she finished tidying up, Luzhu'er walked in through the door frame with difficulty, threw herself on Li Sanniang's calf and stretched out her little hand to hug her.

Sure enough, when you are tired, you need to take a big mouthful of baby to relieve fatigue.

Li Sanniang hugged Luzhu'er's small body and breathed for a while, the breath from the tip of her nose sprayed on Luzhu'er's neck, making Luzhu'er laugh out loud.

"Aniang, brother, Zhu Er is older."

"Haha, yes, it's Lu Zhu'er's younger brother. Lu Zhu'er is now a sister. Are you happy?"

"Happy, Pearl happy! Play! Brother!"

Haha, children's childish words always make people smile.

　Friends, you don't know how hot it is here, 34 degrees Celsius, without fans and air conditioners is really painful.

　　I gave birth to a young man, Lu Zhuer will be my sister~
