Back to ancient times to open obstetrics

Chapter 146 Induction of labor (1)
Liu Qiqiao was so shaken by being pulled, she instinctively wanted to push the old woman away, but the women in the village had all practiced their skills in the field, and they were very strong.Liu Qiqiao was about to use the killer move to attack the lower plate, Du Ruo stepped forward, pulled Liu Qiqiao behind her, blocked the woman and said, "Old man, I prescribed the medicine, and I told you to My daughter-in-law drinks it, I am the young owner of Baoshantang in the capital city, and I work as an imperial physician in the capital, if you think I killed your grandson, you can go to Shuntian Mansion to sue the imperial court."

These words sounded plain, but they still had a great effect on deterring an ignorant village woman.As long as the country people hear that they are from the capital, even a latrine will be fragrant.The old woman's attitude immediately changed 360 degrees, and she tugged on Du Ruo's sleeve and said, "My noble brother, what do you think is my daughter-in-law's baby? Is it really gone?"

Du Ruo also admired the old woman's ability to change her face. Seeing her asking herself softly, she sighed and said, "Your wife's joy pulse is gone, and the child is stillborn. The medicine I gave her is to make her die. Born, so that it will not affect the mother's body."

Seeing that Du Ruo had taken care of the old woman, Liu Qiqiao took a look at the pregnant woman.This is a typical peasant family. The five houses in a row are also made of wood and the roof is covered with thatch.As soon as you enter the door, the house is completely bare, without even a decent piece of furniture. It looks like a very poor family.

Liu Qiqiao came to the woman's room and saw that she was already moaning softly, so she knew that she had started labor pains, so she stepped forward and asked her: "Is the interval between pains long now?"

The mother lay on the kang with an oilcloth under it, for fear of soiling the kang platform.Seeing Liu Qiqiao coming in, she endured the pain and said: "It's not the time yet, I've given birth to two babies, so I know roughly when it will be."

Liu Qiqiao stepped forward, touched the pregnant woman's belly and said, "You haven't entered the basin yet, so don't rush to exert yourself. When the pain comes and goes, I'll break your water."

Du Ruo also came in from the door at this time. It has to be said that Du Ruo is very competent as a doctor in this regard.No matter what kind of patient he was, he treated them equally. When he entered the door, even Liu Qiqiao was a little disgusted with the family's situation, but Du Ruo was able to enter indifferently without any expression.

At this time, a man's voice came from outside, it was the woman's man on Tuesday.It turned out that he was the person he went to look for at the Lin family just now, but who knew that Du Ruo and Liu Qiqiao came in a carriage, but they came faster than him.

Seeing Du Ruo on Tuesday, he said, "Young master, is my wife okay?"

"Your daughter-in-law is fine, but the fetus in her womb is gone, and she is being induced at the moment." Liu Qiqiao replied.

"Induction of labor? That's an interesting idea!" Du Ruo continued after listening to Liu Qiqiao's answer, "Normal childbirth is called labor, and giving birth to a dead child in the womb is called induced labor, which is very appropriate."

Liu Qiqiao originally wanted to tell Du Ruo that the so-called induced labor refers to the fact that after 12 weeks of pregnancy, due to maternal or fetal reasons, artificial methods must be used to induce uterine contractions to end the pregnancy, and it does not necessarily mean that the child will die after birth.In fact, many patriarchal families nowadays, because they know that the child is a girl, secretly find a black clinic to induce labor. Many poor little girls are still alive when they are born from their mothers. In the end... The darkness of society can't bear to talk about it.
