The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 694 I gave birth to a fat boy
I thought that Lu Yuhua would not activate it until two days before the winter solstice, but I didn't expect that Su Yunduo and Madam Wu had just returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion and were talking with Mrs. An about giving birth gifts, and the Chen mansion sent someone to report. Said that Lu Yuhua started it.

Hearing the news, Su Yunduo and An Shi looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although there were too many things going on in the mansion during this time, it was a little late to send the birth gift to Chen's mansion, but it was at least half a month before Lu Yuhua's due date.

It's not uncommon for the mother's family to give birth gift immediately, but it's really rare.

But Lu Yuhua is not considered premature after all, not to mention that An's is well-informed, even Su Yunduo understands very well, it is normal for a woman to give birth half a month or even [-] days before or after the expected date of delivery.

So Su Yunduo, who had just returned home, cheered up again and arranged for a carriage to go to the Chen Mansion again. This time, even Mrs. An couldn't sit still, so they got on the carriage together and headed for Tongfu Lane, Dongcheng District.

Although they couldn't help much by rushing over, they could give some comfort to Lu Yuhua who was in labor.

Both Chen Mian and Lu Jinkang were on duty in the palace that day. Although the Chen family sent servants to wait at the gate of the palace, there was no way to send letters inside.

The servant could only stay at the gate of the palace and wait for Chen Mian to step down. When Chen Mian learned that Lu Yuhua had already activated at noon, he was so startled that his hands and feet went limp, and he almost couldn't even get on the horse.

Lu Jinkang, who came out one step later than Chen Mian, saw Chen Mian's distressed appearance from a distance, and hurried over to inquire about the situation. Knowing the situation, he couldn't let Chen Mian ride home alone, so he had to accompany him to Tongfu Lane.

When Lu Jinkang arrived at the Chen Mansion, he knew that not only Su Yunduo was in the Chen Mansion, but even the An family was guarding the Chen Mansion, so he simply followed Chen Mian to the third room to see what Lu Yuhua was doing now. I'm going to pick up Mrs. An and go back to the Duke of Zhen's mansion first. I've seen her natal mother guarding her daughter to give birth. It's really rare to see her natal grandmother guarding her granddaughter to give birth!
It's just that under such circumstances, how could An's listen to Lu Jinkang, and insisted on sitting in the main hall of Chen's house, waiting for Lu Yuhua's child to be born.

Fortunately, Lu Yuhua's body is very good, and she is willing to listen to Su Yunduo's words. During pregnancy, she did not take supplements and exercised appropriately every day.

Lu Yuhua's pregnancy was relatively smooth, but when she was about seven months pregnant, she asked her mother-in-law to touch the fetus and found that the fetus was in an abnormal position, suspected of being breech.

The family name of Mrs. Wen, who helped Lu Yuhua feel the baby, was Sun, and she lived near the Han family near Dongmingfang. It was considered Mrs. Wen's family, and the Sun family was basically a couple of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who made a living by relying on this ancestral handicraft.

The middle-aged mothers of the Su clan in Dongmingfang basically invite the Sun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to deliver their babies. Because of the high survival rate of newborns, they are highly respected.

Of course, in the hands of the Sun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is not uncommon for pregnant women to die due to childbirth, but it is much lower than that of ordinary stable women.

Su Yunduo has lived in Dongmingfang for more than a year, and naturally he has heard a lot about the good skills of the Sun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in delivering babies.

Knowing that the Chen family is looking for a stable wife for Lu Yuhua, because the Chen family is far closer to Dongmingfang than the Zhen Guogong's mansion, after discussion with Mrs. Lu, they decided to introduce the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family to Lu Yuhua.

The eldest daughter-in-law who is now the head of the Sun family is the grand daughter-in-law who has learned nearly twenty skills from her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law is even more superb.

What's even better is that through practice, this Sun Wenpo has also created some corrective methods for fetal malposition.

Su Yunduo had only heard about it before but had never seen it before. It was the first time that she accompanied Sun Wenpo to touch Lu Yuhua's fetus, and it was only then that she really saw Wenpo's skills. bit method.

The so-called chest-knee position method is to let pregnant women empty their bladders and loosen their belts, with their knees slightly apart and roughly shoulder-width apart, with their chests and shoulders attached to the bed, their heads tilted to one side, their thighs and calves at right angles, and their hands hanging down on the bed Put it on both sides or on both sides of the head, forming a hip-high-head-down position, so that the fetal head can touch the mother's diaphragm, and the fetus can change from the breech or transverse position to the head position by changing the center of gravity.

Lu Yuhua followed Mrs. Wen's instructions and insisted on doing it two to three times a day for a quarter of an hour each time for seven consecutive days. When Mrs. Wen came to check again, she was very lucky to find that the fetal position had naturally changed to the head position.

Su Yunduo couldn't help feeling lucky for Lu Yuhua, because she knew best that the success rate of correcting the fetal position with the breast-knee position method is not particularly high, only about [-] to [-]%.

In this era without the aid of high technology and medical equipment, if the fetal position cannot be corrected by using the chest-knee position method, it will inevitably lead to dystocia during delivery. Su Yunduo, who has nursing experience, knows the degree of danger of dystocia caused by breech or transverse position. , One dead body and two lives are not surprising.

Su Yunduo had communicated with Sun Wenpo quietly in private, what should be done if the breast-knee position method cannot correct the fetal position, Sun Wenpo told Su Yunduo confidently that she still has a unique skill.

Under Su Yunduo's persistent questioning, and feeling that Su Yunduo had expanded the Sun family's contacts, Sun Wenpo finally told Su Yunduo in a secretive way.

It turned out that Sun Wenpo's unique skill was to forcibly flip the fetal position during delivery.

Su Yunduo naturally understood this manual intervention to strengthen the method of correcting the fetal position.

To put it bluntly, it is the cooperation of two stable women, one massages the mother's stomach, and the other inserts her hand into the birth canal to forcefully change the fetal position of the fetus in the mother's stomach.

After hearing this, Su Yunduo felt even more grateful for Lu Yuhua. The forcible flipping of the fetal position would still cause great damage to the mother, but she also understood that in the era when the mother can only give birth by herself, this method is ineffective at critical times. It can save the lives of mothers and fetuses.

Although it took some time for the first child, it was much faster than ordinary people. At the beginning of the afternoon, it was three o'clock in the morning, but after four hours, Lu Yuhua gave birth to a fat boy who weighed six and a half catties for Chen Mian. This fat boy was very energetic. Yes, the cry was so loud that the whole house could hear it.

Chen Mian, who has been circling outside the delivery room since he came back, couldn't help squatting on the ground covering his face and howling when he heard his son's crying, making Lu Jinkang shake his head when he saw it. Concerned, I even imagined that one day it would be Su Yunduo lying inside, whether I could be better than Chen Mian.

Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily fell on Su Yunduo.

At this time, Su Yunduo was glued to the little crying bag in Mother Chen's arms, and did not notice the man's gaze at all.

"Come, come, give his aunt a hug, and let his aunt be happy!" The joyful mother Chen caught Su Yunduo's gaze, and she couldn't help but put the baby in Su Yunduo's arms cheerfully. deliver.

Su Yunduo didn't think so much, she kept staring at the baby, and didn't mean to hold the baby to be happy, she just wanted to see whether the baby was more like Lu Yuhua or Chen Mian.

It's just that it's misunderstood before the conclusion has been researched, and the little swaddle has been stuffed into her arms.

In her previous life, she had held naked babies who were just born, so she was not afraid to hold babies in swaddling clothes.

Seeing Su Yunduo's skillful way of holding the baby, Chen's mother couldn't help but praise: "My uncle and wife are more skilled in holding the baby than my eldest daughter-in-law!"

Su Yunduo smiled and said, "Practice makes perfect."

Also, my uncle's natal family also has a little brother who is only a few years old, so it's not surprising that he can hold a baby.

Seeing Mother Chen's clear face, Su Yunduo hooked her lips happily.

Although what Su Yunduo meant was not exactly what Mother Chen thought, it didn't hinder anything.
