Chapter 205: Chapter 207 Mother and Child Safe_1
The so-called buttock position means the child’s head is up, with the feet at the bottom.
There are two dangers with breech delivery: one is that the feet get stuck inside, and the other is that if the mother doesn’t have enough strength, the child can easily suffocate.
But even that is much better than the transverse lie we had just a moment ago.
A transverse lie means the fetus is lying sideways in the womb, a situation where at least one of them, the adult or the child, is guaranteed to die, with absolutely no room for turnaround, and the methods are very cruel.
But now, it’s not much different from the four hours that Grandma Feng mentioned; it had to be done this way.
After a rough time, Li Clan looked as if she had been fished out of water, but the instinct to survive allowed her to exert force following Grandma Feng’s rhythm.
Before long, a tiny foot emerged.
Grandma Feng steadied her mind, grabbed the foot and gently pushed it back in; this process now depended on the midwife’s skill.
Most of the younger generation in Big Willow Village were delivered by Grandma Feng; her experience was ample, and she was entirely capable of handling the current situation.
Only when both tiny feet had come out did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Both feet coming out together meant the rest would be much smoother.
"Third Boss’s wife, put in a bit more effort, the baby’s feet are out, it’s just a little bit more!"
Grandma Feng said excitedly, thinking she’d have to be the bringer of doom today, but to her surprise, there was such a turn of events.
Li Clan spoke weakly, "I can’t, I have no strength left."
She was close to collapsing, having tried to exert force twice, but to basically no effect.
"Put in more effort, if it takes too long, the child will suffocate!"
Grandma Feng’s good mood was long gone.
As time ticked away, Li Clan’s strength dwindled even more and she even stopped responding to Grandma Feng’s words.
Grandma Feng, holding onto the little feet, could only panic.
If she tried to pull the baby out forcefully, it was very easy to break the umbilical cord.
"You’ve suffered so much; it’s just the last bit left, hold on," Grandma Feng continued to encourage, but still to no effect.
Qiao Duo’er brought over the Silver Needle from inside the house and inserted it into several of Li Clan’s acupuncture points, which was incredibly difficult because Li Clan was shivering.
Fortunately, the needles were all correctly positioned.
This set of needle techniques could strengthen contractions, making the uterus contract continuously.
Thanks to this force, the baby was quickly born.
The child had been stifled inside the womb for too long, its face a shade of blue-purple, with the little mouth tightly closed, causing a deep pang of distress for onlookers.
Grandma Feng swiftly dealt with the umbilical cord, and after slapping the baby’s buttocks a few times, the child finally cried.
But its cry was not as clear as that of other babies; it sounded like the soft weeping of a kitten.
But being alive was still a blessing!
Grandma Feng said with a smile, "Congratulations, it’s a big, healthy son!"
Li Clan didn’t hear her; she had already lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.
After cleaning the baby and wrapping him in swaddling clothes, Grandma Feng went out to share the good news.
Elder Sister Feng helped tidy up the bed for Li Clan and kept a close watch on her condition. After such an ordeal, a major hemorrhage was very likely, so it was necessary to be careful.
The birth room was stuffy and smelled terrible, so Qiao Duo went out for some fresh air first.
Thinking about the recent danger, she still felt a bit apprehensive.
As soon as she went out, Tan Zhenghong wrapped his arms around Qiao Duo’er’s waist; his wife was pale-faced and unsteady on her feet.
"Wife, how are you feeling?" Tan Zhenghong asked anxiously.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "A bit tired, but I’ll be fine after some rest."
She finally understood why the Hu’s Clan had said that those who hadn’t given birth should stay away because it was indeed terrifying enough to deter them from having children.
