Chapter 340: Emergency Labor
Gu's mother stood at another window and looked out. When she heard Su Wan's words, she was startled, and hurriedly came over to support Su Wan: "Quick! Go back quickly!" After saying that, she shouted out the door: "Mo Yuan, hurry up and prepare the car, Wan Wan is going to give birth!"
"Wait!" Su Wan shouted: "Mo Yuan, come back!"
Mo Yuan opened the door and came in: "Mother, Qi Wu is going to prepare the carriage. What are your orders?"
"The birth is not so fast. Don't tell Huaizhi about it. Don't delay his business." Su Wan endured the pain of labor. It would take several hours for her first pregnancy.
After the No. 1 scholar paraded through the streets, he had to lead fellow Jinshi scholars to the Ministry of Rites to attend the Qionglin Banquet to celebrate the Jinshi's admission. After the banquet, Zhuangyuan Lang led everyone to the Confucius Temple to pay homage to Confucius, the most holy teacher, and then went to the Imperial College to erect a stele and put the name of the new Jinshi on the stele.
If he knew that she was giving birth, he would definitely put aside these red tapes and return home to accompany her.
I'm just afraid that it will give people a reason to talk.
Su Wan only felt the heat flowing downwards. Fortunately, the labor pains were not strong enough and the interval was a little longer, so she hurried downstairs and went to the back door.
The front door was crowded and many people were blocked, so they had to leave through the back door, and the carriage had to go around an extra street.
Gu's mother saw her gasping in pain, with a forbearing look on her face, and said anxiously: "Does it hurt? If you feel uncomfortable, just lean on my mother."
"I can bear it." Su Wan smiled, not knowing how long the labor would last. If it goes well, it will come out in two or three hours. If it doesn't go well...
Mother Gu looked at her petite little ball, curled up on the cushioned carriage floor, her face turned pale with pain, and she was so anxious: "Why don't we call Huaizhi back? He has already been a high official. , It doesn’t matter if the wife is the top scholar or not, and Jingyun won’t take his ranking back.”
"It doesn't matter. Although Huaizhi is the elder of Xiaoge, he studied hard since he was a child, and he won the first prize in the exam. The emperor gave him the honor of riding a horse and parading through the streets. This is only once in his life. It is the honor that all students yearn for." Su Wan reluctantly After the wave of labor pain passed, he let out a long breath: "I estimate that the child will not come out in three or four hours. By the time he comes home from the end, the child should be born. When he returns home, he will stand outside and wait, so anxious. "
She looked at Mother Gu's distressed look on her face and held her hand: "Mom, he can't give birth to me when he comes back." She frowned, her stomach contracted hard and felt very uncomfortable: "It's ugly to give birth to a baby. I don’t want him to see it.”
"You kid."
The more magnanimous she is, the more distressed Mother Gu becomes.
As a woman, I always want a man by my side when giving birth.
"Mom, please let me lean on you." Su Wan's head was next to Gu's mother's legs where she was sitting cross-legged, and she grabbed her arm, mentally counting the duration of the labor pains and how long the time between the two labor pains was.
Nearly an hour later, the carriage arrived at the mansion.
Hu and Qingyuan had already received the news and were waiting at the door of the house.
Gu's mother shouted out of the carriage: "Qingyuan, take Wanwan back to the house."
Qingyuan got on the carriage, held Su Wan firmly as he got out of the carriage, and ran straight to the main courtyard.
Po Wen and the female doctor were waiting in the room. When they saw Qing Yuan carrying someone in his arms, they quickly said, "Quick, put him on the bed."
Su Wan was lying on the bed, the contractions were becoming more and more intensive, and the pain was becoming more and more unbearable.
Po Wen washed her hands, took off her pants, took out a thin wooden stick, put it in Su Wan's mouth and bit it: "Don't cry out that it hurts, don't use force, save your strength and wait until the baby comes out soon." Work harder."
Su Wan nodded, took the wooden stick away, and asked the female doctor on the side: "I taught you the measures to deal with emergencies, have you all remembered them?"
The female doctor was worried. Su Wan had chosen the two of them since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and taught them every day how to deal with the abnormal fetal position of the child. How to deal with situations such as retained placenta, or half separation of the placenta causing massive bleeding, uterine atony, birth canal tear, massive bleeding, etc.
This knowledge was simply unheard of. They studied it seriously, knowing very well that if they mastered it, they would benefit immensely.
But after all, it was just talk on paper before. Even if Su Wan personally delivered babies to women and taught them on the spot in order to let them learn from the experience, they also practiced it in person if the circumstances allowed.
But at that time, Su Wan was personally giving guidance. This time it was their appearance, so they would inevitably be nervous.
"Remember...remember." The female doctor clenched her fingers and glanced at a series of life-saving tools placed on the table to prevent emergencies.
Su Wan looked away and put her hands on her tailbone, which hurt the child.
She had taken good care of her body during pregnancy, and no unexpected situation would happen to her.
Su Wan didn't want to stay up too long, so she controlled her breathing and started to try harder.
"Young madam, please let go of your hand and let me check you." Po Wen Po comforted Su Wan and whispered slowly: "If you have good conditions, you might be born in two or three hours." Not long ago, I heard someone say that a woman who was pregnant with Liujia took only two hours from birth to birth. "
She bent Su Wan's legs, and the child rushed out instantly.
"!!!"
Po Wen was frightened.
The female doctor also looked confused.
Just...that's it? ? ?
Several people were caught off guard. Su Wan had made them all very nervous, waiting for a protracted battle, but the child came out before it even started? ? ?
They reacted quickly and scrambled to deal with it.
Po Wen picked up the child with red skin.
A female doctor cuts the umbilical cord with scissors.
Another female doctor mixed hot water and spread out the swaddling clothes.
Several people were busy driving.
Outside the door, Gu's mother paced back and forth, and then lay on the door to listen to the movement inside, but there was no sound. When she gave birth to her first child, she was in so much pain that she cried like a ghost.
Then, she felt even more distressed for Su Wan. She must be afraid that they would worry, so she endured the pain.
If she didn't give birth in another hour, she would ask Mo Yuan to call Gu Huaizhi back.
Thinking of Su Wan's thin arms and legs, Gu's mother prepared to go to the ancestral hall to burn incense for the ancestors.
"Qingyuan, you stand guard at the door. Tell me as soon as possible if there is any situation!" Gu's mother told Hu: "Go to the kitchen and steam two poached eggs. Keep them warm on the stove. Wanwan will eat them after giving birth..."
"Wow——"
The loud cry of the baby resounded in everyone's ears.
The air seemed to be stagnant.
Gu's mother didn't react: "Did the child cry just now?"
Hu and Qingyuan nodded dully, and the cry was very full of energy!
"Give birth? Just gave birth?" Gu's mother had a blank expression, then reacted in an instant, with an excited look on her face: "Wanwan gave birth! Good thing she gave birth! No more suffering!"
The tightly closed door opened, and the midwife came out holding a swaddling cloth, with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Madam, the young lady gave birth to a daughter."
