Chapter 1606 That's Great

When it came to labor pains, Ruoyin might have thought they were fake labor pains, and wanted to lie down and wait, so as to recharge his batteries.

After all, having a baby is a tiring, physical and energy-consuming thing.

Now the labor pains are gradually becoming more frequent, and she has to get up and dig out all the supplies she has prepared a long time ago.

Yes, she was going to deliver herself.

It's not that there is no one here to deliver her, but that she doesn't trust the ability of the physicians of the Moon Empire to deliver babies.

Because in the last month, she asked all the female doctors who delivered babies nearby.

The delivery method they told her terrified her.

Ruoyin asked them what to do if they encountered a late delivery. The doctors said that there was a duchess in the royal family who was due to give birth, but she didn't start it for a long time.

Later, he was locked in a small dark room and watched dozens of people being whipped.

Until two of them were killed, the Duchess was frightened by what she saw and gave birth smoothly.

If this method doesn't work, let Ruoyin eat his hair.

It is said that hair can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, which can increase abdominal pressure and promote the birth of the fetus.

She also said that it was impossible, so she rolled her belly with a rolling pin and rolled out the baby.

Otherwise, they would scratch her body with their nails to open the way for the fetus in her belly.

He also said that if the fetal position is not correct, the fetus can be hooked with a blunt hook simply and rudely to assist the delivery.

And the success rate of this method is only 30%.

After hearing their unprofessional words, Ruoyin dared to ask them to deliver her baby.

In this era of scarcity of materials and underdeveloped medical care, women are prone to puerperal infections when they give birth, which is equivalent to walking through the gate of hell.

If you continue to act like this, wouldn't it be too long?

All of the above, Ruoyin decided to deliver the baby by herself in order to prevent her from seeing the sun tomorrow in labor pains.

So, while enduring the labor pain, Ruoyin found vinegar water from the closet.

Before giving birth, she inquired about many methods of giving birth in this era.

From a scientific and practical point of view, she selected a few practical ones.

It is said that vinegar water is prepared during delivery, which can be used to fumigate the mother when she faints, and the mother can wake up.

Of course, she can't do it alone.

After making money, not only her medical clinic moved to the prosperous center of the Moon Empire.

The house she lived in was also rented in this area, and it was in the building opposite the medical hall.

And the two maids she invited are in the bedroom next to her.

However, she didn't intend to call them this time.

When it is activated, it is not said that there is a stomachache, but it will happen immediately.

When the labor pains become intensive to a certain point, when the woman's cell is about ten fingers apart, it is time to give birth.

Because there is no oxytocin here, and there is no midwifery technique like caesarean section, many people have to give birth to a child in pain for several days.

This is why the probability of dystocia in ancient times was relatively high.

So, even if she can't sleep now, she still let them sleep more, so as to maintain their strength.

Otherwise, if the labor pains start, everyone will stay up all night to consume their energy, and when the real labor comes, they will all be mentally exhausted.

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin boiled several pots of water.

She also prepared licorice and coptis.

In the Qing Dynasty, she remembered that the midwives would let the child suck licorice after the child was born.

Licorice can "peace the five internal organs, detoxify hundreds of medicines", and can enhance the body resistance of newborns.

In addition, if you make Coptis chinensis into juice, put it in a thin cloth, and then wipe around the cheeks and gums of the newborn, it can help the baby expel the fetal poison from the stomach.

She also prepared five sticks.

The so-called five branches are peach branches, pagoda tree branches, willow branches, thorn branches, and plum branches.

A few days after the baby is born, use five sticks of boiled water to scrub the baby's body.

This can prevent neonatal eczema and macule.

At the same time, she also prepared ginseng to contain in her mouth when she was weak.

In addition, there are clean cotton towels, scissors for cutting the umbilical cord, newborn clothes and so on.

She washed these things a long time ago, boiled them in boiling water, and sterilized them in the sun.

Only the scissors for cutting the umbilical cord need to be scalded with boiling water before use.

That's why she boiled water.

Ruoyin had probably been busy since the labor pains began.

After she got everything in order, her labor pains changed from one cup of tea to one half cup of tea.

Ruoyin had experience in giving birth before, so she knew that the real production was about to begin.

So, she quickly made herself a glass of thick honey water, which helped to speed up the production.

And as early as the previous month, she drank raspberry tea every day to soften the female womb so that she could give birth smoothly.

After drinking the honey water, the sky outside has turned pale.

The two maids got up without waiting for Ruoyin to call them.

When they saw Ruoyin squatting by the table, frowning in pain, they hurriedly stepped forward to support her with concern, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Ruoyin was in pain and didn't answer them quickly.

Instead, she waved her hand after the pain subsided, "It's okay, it's probably about to give birth."

"That's great." One of the maids helped Ruoyin lie down on the bed.

The other maid went to prepare breakfast.

About half an hour later, the maid made Ruoyin a sandwich bread, a cup of hot milk, and a small plate of chocolate balls.

At this moment, Ruoyin was already sweating profusely from the pain.

But she still took advantage of the interval between labor pains to eat the bread and hot milk.

At the same time, she had a chocolate ball in her mouth.

In any case, she eats more food and conserves her strength.

At this moment, Ruoyin's waist and abdomen felt a strong pain and numbness, as if his whole body was disconnected from the waist and abdomen.

She began to gasp for breath, and every time she was in labor pain, her entire delicate face became distorted.

His facial features were also wrinkled together.

I thought it was not the first time to have a baby, and it should be able to give birth faster.

Who knew that Ruoyin's pain lasted until night before she opened all ten fingers.

At night, a maid said happily: "Madam, I can see the baby's head now."

Ruoyin was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she just followed the pain and began to exert herself.

She didn't use that kind of blind force, but she sank with all her strength, and when she sank to her stomach, she went down with all her strength.

Seeing this, the two maids quickly poured out the cold pots of water and replaced them with boiling water.

Ruoyin stared straight ahead with firm and calm eyes.

The maid had already used pillows to pad the mattress she was lying on at a slightly downward angle.

And her two hands were tightly grasping the bed frame at the head of the bed.

On the back of the snow-white hand, veins popped out from grasping too hard.

In order to avoid venting her strength by opening her mouth and yelling, she tightly closed her lips, exerting strength secretly.

A head of wet blue hair had long been stuck to her forehead and cheeks indiscriminately.
