CapĂtulo 1754: Chapter 1754: Stark Contrast
A drop in fetal heart rate during natural childbirth is a major taboo. A stop in fetal heart rate means the babyâs heart has stopped and life has abruptly halted. If the babyâs heart stops beating inside the motherâs uterus, the doctors cannot immediately perform first aid on the baby, they must first get the baby out, dreading any delay.
âQuick, notify the doctor.â
âQuick, quick, quick, find out why the fetal heart rate is dropping.â
The medical staff, one after another, were racing against time to prepare for the rescue procedure.
The suddenly tense atmosphere around her shocked Bed Number Three, who was ready to give birth. She asked the medical staff beside her, âWhatâs happening? Whatâs wrong with my child?â
âItâs okay, itâs okay.â Several nurses babbled to comfort her, while the scene of chaos on the other hand remained unchanged.
âWhere is Doctor Peng?â The old midwife urged for where the doctor had gone, and dispatched an intern to go find the doctor.
On orders, an intern nurse dashed out of the delivery room.
It turned out that Doctor Peng, on the way to the delivery room, was being tightly held by someone, not letting go.
âDoctor, please help my wife.â The gentleman, almost kneeling on the ground to beg the doctor, was the husband of the woman in Labor Room Two.
This husband was well-dressed, wore glasses, indicated he was an educated and knowledgeable person who would be reasonable.
A family member like this didnât seem likely to cause unreasonable trouble, so Doctor Peng couldnât help but worry about the sudden accident with the woman in Labor Room Two. He promptly turned to follow the family member into Labor Room Two to check the womanâs condition, saying, âDonât worry, let me see whatâs going on with her.â
âDoctor, my wife is very tolerant of pain, she is very strong in usual times and has never cried. Today is the first time Iâve seen her in such pain.â At this point, the husband of the woman dropped two tears, took off his glasses, and wiped his red eyes.
This man truly cared for his wife.
âGiving birth is that painful. You should have heard this scene described by your parents.â Doctor Peng patiently comforted the family member, rationally analyzing the situation. Then, he grabbed the maternity observation record hanging at the end of the bed to read the womanâs delivery record.
On the form, the data recorded by the midwife showed that the woman in the Labor Room Two had been in the labor room for just four hours, the membranes were intact, the labor had been going relatively smoothly, and the cervix was almost dilated to five fingers.
Seeing the data, Doctor Peng was very pleased and said to the family member, âDonât worry. With her current situation, it seems to be going very well, with more effort, she can have a natural childbirth.â
âNo more. Doctor, letâs have a C-section.â The womanâs husband shook his head in response to the doctorâs suggestion.
âWhy have a C-section? Natural birth is good, you both know that.â Doctor Peng said, as such highly educated couples should have prior knowledge of these medical common senses.
âYes, we know. For this reason, my wife told me before she came to give birth, for the good of the baby, she must have a natural birth no matter what. But she really canât stand the pain. You see, sheâs in so much pain that she can only bite her teeth and canât speak.â The womanâs husband spoke emotionally, tears again falling uncontrollably.
It can only be said that the pain of childbirth exceeded the coupleâs expectation, disrupting their initial plan, making their confidence before childbirth collapse like a snowy mountain.
Doctor Peng, after listening to this manâs words, thought of the previous husband of Bed Six, who didnât care about the wifeâs life or death as long as it was a natural birth, and now this husband of Bed Two, who only cared about his wifeâs pain and insisted on switching to C-section. Obviously, there are also many husbands who love their wives.
