Chapter 1685: Chapter 1623: Breech Presentation
When a woman gives birth, the babyâs head comes out first through the birth canal, which is considered smooth; but now the babyâs head is inverted, meaning the babyâs feet are facing down, itâs the feet going into the birth canal first, and this makes childbirth impossible. If forced, it will lead to injury or death, even resulting in both mother and child perishing.
Nanny Shenâs face turned pale, she was dumbstruck, and after a while she shouted: "Didnât you say the fetal position was correct?"
"We donât know why it turned out this way; it wasnât like this a few days ago." Midwife Ma and the others said tearfully.
Nanny Shen glared at them fiercely, and said to the maid: "Inform Miss Zi Yu to call for Imperial Physician Xu." Then she shouted to both of them: "Why arenât you pulling the curtain up?"
What to do now, itâs already a slippery fetus, the situation isnât good, and now thereâs fetal malposition, how could this happen?
Nanny Shen looked at Madam Zhou, who was still unconscious and pale, her heart felt as though a giant rock was sinking down.
Meanwhile, Purple Jade heard the maidâs words and her legs buckled.
Fetal malposition, difficult childbirth!
Is there anything more unfortunate than this?
The lady is not home, if Madam encounters any misfortune, wouldnât it be difficult to see her even once?
"Miss Zi Yu?"
The maidâs call brought Purple Jade back to her senses, and she hurriedly sent someone to invite Old Imperial Physician Xu.
Old Imperial Physician Xu soon entered the delivery room with his silver needle and other items.
Purple Jade ignored any dirtiness and followed in, first glaring at the two midwives, threatening: "If anything happens to Madam, just you wait!"
The two midwives trembled on their knees.
"The fetal position is wrong, you all are in this profession, quickly perform a massage, see if you can adjust the fetal position." Imperial Physician Xu commanded.
"Yes, yes."
After several needle insertions, Madam Zhou slowly awakened, instinctively looking at her belly, which was still high, but the next moment, her heart went cold.
"You cannot lose consciousness again, the water has broken, if you donât strive to deliver the child, he will suffocate inside." Imperial Physician Xu said in a deep voice.
Madam Zhou heard this, terror appeared in her eyes, tears slid down, her lips quivered, and in a hoarse voice she said: "Physician, if anything happens, save my child."
Purple Jadeâs eyes turned red, she bit her lip tightly.
The two midwives used their hands to push, following the clockwise direction on Madam Zhouâs belly.
"Ah!" The sharp, intense pain made Madam Zhou wish for death, afraid sheâd pass out, she bit her tongue fiercely, scarlet blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"Madam." Purple Jade watched with her eyes wide, unable to bear it, she looked away.
Wave after wave of pain made Madam Zhouâs body tremble, the two midwivesâ pushing seemed like a long sword stirring inside her belly.
"Give her a cloth to bite on." Imperial Physician Xu ordered, fearing sheâd bite her tongue off.
A maid fetched a clean white cloth, placing it in Madam Zhouâs mouth for her to bite.
Poor Madam Zhou, biting the cloth desperately, her eyes bulging, her body shaking continuously.
"Is it working yet?" Purple Jade asked the midwives.
The two midwives were drenched in sweat, lifted the curtain to take a look, their faces showed shock, this bleeding was too excessive, if it continued, the fetal position wouldnât be corrected, and sheâd be in grave danger.
"Miss, we canât push anymore." Midwife Ma dropped to the ground with a thud, saying: "Any more might be too much for Madam to handle."
Purple Jade wished to kick them.
Madam Zhou spat out the cloth, her voice sounded like it was ground by gravel, she stammered: "Again, again."
