The resumes of the four midwives are all very experienced. Some have delivered thousands of mothers, and all mothers and babies were safe. Some have delivered babies to a certain princess, and they are simply royal midwives. There is also a royal lady who once delivered a baby to Wen.
Xiaotu’s mother, Xu Yiren, delivered the baby! Yes, it was this Mrs. Wang who brought brothers Chengsong and Chengbai safely to the world!
Oh, we are still old acquaintances!
Although the delivery technology of this era is not very scientific, the experience summarized is still of great reference value.
Wen Xiaotu took a look at her belly, which was already as big as a watermelon after only six months. She did control her diet, but her belly still grew rapidly. As a result, she had serious sequelae - she got stretch marks!!o(
╥﹏╥)o
Since her pregnancy, she has applied body lotion almost every day, especially on her belly. She applied it generously and carefully, but she still couldn't hold her belly inflated like a balloon! Her belly was stretched out with lines, which were so ugly that she couldn't bear to look at them!
Her face was enough to make her despair, but she didn't expect that her belly was also disfigured!
Wen Xiaotu had no choice but to work hard to cheer up, and if it was ruined, it would be ruined. Fortunately, in this era, there was no need to show the belly. She had accepted the disfigurement of her face. What was the point of having her belly ruined?
Having a midwife means that she can finally confirm how many babies are in her belly.
In fact, her belly was so big, but her arms and legs were not seriously overweight. Wen Xiaotu also seriously suspected that she was pregnant with twins.
Several midwives gathered around her to observe her carefully, then asked her to lie down on the bed, unbuttoned her clothes, and began to caress her belly.
Wen Xiaotu was a little itchy from being touched. At this moment, a small foot suddenly protruded on her ugly belly, which was quite lively...
After a while, Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Congratulations, Empress Zhaoyi, you have two little princes in your belly!"
Wen Xiaotu’s black line: You are a midwife, not a B-ultrasound expert. How did you know it was two boys?!
Mrs. Li next to her immediately said: "How can they be twins? There must be twins in the mother's womb!"
Oh, by the way, twins are easy to confuse, which is fine for ordinary people, but the royal family... is somewhat taboo. But, the emperor has no sons. If a pair of twins really come, and there are no other sons in the future, they will just
You can choose one of the twins to be born.
In comparison, the dragon and the phoenix are naturally better and have better meaning.
"I and the two children in my womb are entrusted to the throne." Wen Xiaotu was served and tidied up, and she asked Hongguo to reward the four women with a heavy gold ingot respectively.
When the ladies received the gold, they were all elated and thanked them repeatedly.
In the following days, four midwives had to take turns to stay by her side, responsible for arranging the delivery room, touching the fetus regularly to confirm the fetal image, and communicating with the imperial doctors from time to time. In short, the work was easy before giving birth.
In fact, when a concubine is pregnant, the midwife is usually arranged to enter the palace to take care of her when she is seven months old. Firstly, it is possible to save the child after she is only seven months old, and secondly, there are seven fetuses in the belly.
It can only be turned around after 1 month, that is, head down, for a smooth delivery.
Wen Xiaotu was only six months old, and the fetus in her belly had not yet turned around.
But I was finally sure that I was pregnant with a double yolk egg.
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself: Hui Guan actually guessed it!
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel confused, this Huiguan couldn't really have some insight, right?!
Wen Xiaotu immediately shook her head and put this thought behind her. She must have been thinking too much during pregnancy, so she had random thoughts!
Now that I know I have twins in my belly, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a lot. It's only been six months and my belly is already so big, and it will only expand further! When I give birth, I don't know if I can walk!
While you can still move now, don’t stop exercising!!
In fact, even now, it is very inconvenient for Wen Xiaotu to move. If it were in modern times, she would have been lying flat!
But there is no caesarean section in this era. On the day of delivery, 50% depends on the midwife, 50% depends on the imperial doctor exam, and the remaining 90% depends on herself!!
In this case, Wen Xiaotu's desire to survive overwhelmingly outweighed her lazy gene! In fact, since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, Wen Xiaotu has insisted on going to the gym every day! As the month progresses, in addition to daily basic exercise, she
Flexibility classes have also been added.
It was so unimpeded that the people around me were frightened to see it.
Not to mention Aunt Chunxi, even Red Fruit and Blue Heart couldn’t help but try to dissuade her.
But only on this point, Wen Xiaotu is very determined!
She doesn't want to die in childbirth!
Fortunately, Wen Xiaotu did not do strenuous exercise, otherwise Aunt Chunxi would have threatened her with death.
After a little exercise, she was dripping with sweat again. Wen Xiaotu was panting and stretching with a big belly, which looked a bit funny.
"My dear, please take a rest." Aunt Chunxi looked pleading.
Wen Xiaotu took a deep breath and tried to stretch her muscles, "It'll be fine soon!" - Now after a little exercise, Chunxi kept nagging her, as if she was afraid that she might have fetal force.
In fact, her fetal image has always been stable and the fetus is not so delicate.
The days of pregnancy were very painful. After seven months, three imperial doctors once again prescribed tocolytic drugs for her. It was said that twins are prone to premature birth. If you don't want the baby in your belly to be born prematurely, it is best to take a bowl of tocolytic drugs every day.
.
In modern times, Wen Xiaotu would never take this kind of anti-fetal medicine, so why not give birth a little prematurely? Anyway, modern medical technology is advanced.
But in ancient times, in this era, the mortality rate of infants and young children was very high, and it was even more difficult for premature babies to survive! In this era without vaccines, children with slightly weaker constitutions would be taken away by a cold!
Wen Xiaotu didn’t dare to give birth prematurely!
Although she is pregnant with two children, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting harder and harder, but Wen Xiaotu does not want to be relieved of this hardship as soon as possible.
The longer she works hard, the greater the chance her child will survive in the future.
Of course, as the pressure she endures increases, the damage to her body will also increase, and the postpartum sequelae will become more and more serious. But it doesn't matter, as long as she survives the birth and slowly recovers in the future, she is young anyway.
!
Next, Wen Xiaotu started drinking medicine every day and vomiting every day.
Emperor Mingzhao saw this and couldn't help but stop him: "Don't drink it!" - Even if you don't drink the medicine now, it will just be a premature birth! At worst, the imperial doctor can take care of it. When the child is older, it will naturally
You will slowly get healthier!
Wen Xiaotu said: "Twins are prone to premature birth, and I know this very well! My concubine's mother gave birth to her fourth and fifth brothers prematurely!"
Ming Zhao said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter if you were born prematurely. Aren't your fourth and fifth brothers grown up healthy now?"
Wen Xiaotu said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "The fourth and fifth brothers of my concubine were not in good health when they were young. Now that they have grown up, their health is not as good as that of the eldest and second brothers!" - Even so, this is already a lucky thing.
Ming Zhao said sternly: "If you can raise them, they will be!" - If they are not strong enough, teach them martial arts!
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said: "My fourth and fifth brothers are really lucky. I also have a twin sister. Because she was born in less than a month, she was born weak and died before she was one year old!" - And this body is warm!
When Rutu was born, she was half a kilogram heavier than her sister, so she was healthier. Although she also got sick along with her sister, she survived.
This shows how important the innate conditions are!
Oh, that’s not right! Why does the Dog Emperor want her to give birth prematurely? Doesn’t this mean he cares more about her than his heirs?!
