Outside the delivery room, the emperor's family once again fell into anxious waiting.
Everyone listened to what was going on in the delivery room and looked at Lao Wu. They hoped that this medical genius from Lao Zhu's family could give them some confidence.
But Lao Wu kept looking at Lao Liu, hoping that this obstetrics and gynecology genius who invented forceps would give him some confidence...
As everyone knows, Lao Liu is also very anxious. He has devoted all his knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, but he knows that forceps is not a panacea, otherwise why would he need a caesarean section?
If forceps traction also fails, then we will have to go back to the age-old problem of protecting the baby and the baby...
At that time, whether he should risk a caesarean section or give priority to saving his sister-in-law's life? It was not up to him to decide.
In order to relieve his nervousness, he forced himself to divert his attention and asked the female medical officer Ning who was kicked out.
"Normally, once the first child is born, the second child is ripe, and the second child is easier to conceive than the first child. Why does my sister-in-law do it the other way around?"
"Yes, it wasn't like this when I gave birth to Xiongying." The prince also felt strange: "The baby was born smoothly at that time."
"Go back to Your Highness." Ning glanced at Lu and replied hurriedly and respectfully: "That's what I say, but we can't generalize. After all, the situation of every pregnancy is different."
"Then why is it so difficult for my sister-in-law to give birth this time?" Lao Liu asked.
"The fetus' head is too big, so it's stuck and can't come out." Ning had no choice but to answer honestly.
"My old Zhu family doesn't have a big-headed gene, right?" Lao Liu was even more surprised. Even though he, his second brother, and his fourth brother were as tall as double-door refrigerators, their heads were not big.
This is normal, because in this era when only natural childbirth is possible, it is difficult to give birth to a fetus with a large head. Therefore, people in this era generally have small heads, and they will not be as big-headed as in later generations.
Boss Zhu’s sons and daughters combined have given birth to more than 30 children, and none of them have had dystocia. This shows that their family does not have a big-headed gene, so why did the princess suddenly give birth to a big-headed baby?
"King Kaiping doesn't even have a big head..." The prince sighed and said, "Not to mention your sister-in-law. I really don't know who the child in her belly was."
"You don't have to follow anyone. Acquired factors may also cause the fetus to be too large." Lao Wu suddenly said: "For example, the "Maternity Manual" says that pregnant women should not eat milk cakes because 'eating milk cakes will make the pregnancy difficult.'
That is to say, eating too much dairy products will make the fetus grow too large and cause dystocia for pregnant women."
"Your sister-in-law has never eaten dairy products." The prince shook his head and said, "After pregnancy, she can't smell the smell of milk, let alone eat it."
"The same goes for eating sweets." Lao Liu said solemnly: "In fact, eating too much high-sugar and high-fat foods will cause pregnant women to become over-nourished, which will lead to oversize fetuses."
"She really eats sweets all the time." The prince frowned when he heard this and said, "After becoming pregnant, your sister-in-law became addicted to sweets. Mrs. Lu took care of her diet and made sweets for her in different ways every day."
"I, I am here to make my sister happy." The concubine Lu, who had been keeping her eyebrows low and silently guarding the door of the delivery room, changed her face when she heard this, and explained: "The imperial doctor said that I want my sister to keep her mood comfortable.
"
"I didn't say it was you who did it. Why are you anxious?" The prince glanced at Lu.
"Yes, I talk too much." Lu quickly lowered her head.
"I can't blame Mrs. Lu for this." The prince spoke for her again: "Your sister-in-law used to dance with knives and guns every day, and she ate a lot. After she became pregnant, she continued to do it every day at first, but she developed fetal gas and could no longer practice martial arts.
But her food intake has not decreased at all, but her appetite has become better."
"Oh, what a painful lesson." The prince sighed and said to the fourth and fifth sons: "You must take this as a warning."
"Yes." The fourth child nodded hurriedly and kept these words in his heart. Xu Miaoyun had suffered the same loss before when she gave birth to Zhu Gaochi. After a lot of effort, she was born without any risk.
Now that Princess Yan is pregnant with her second child, he cannot make the same mistake again.
~~
The brothers were talking when they suddenly heard a baby crying from inside the delivery room!
Immediately, everyone was petrified on the spot.
After a while, the prince came to his senses and rushed to the delivery room.
But the nurse stopped him and said, "Your Highness can't go in until it's over."
Zhu Biao immediately stopped obediently and asked anxiously: "How is the Crown Princess?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, mother and child are safe." Zhang Xunzhen's exhausted but excited voice came from the delivery room.
"Really? Thank you Fairy Zhang..." The prince said, tears streaming down his face, and he couldn't hold it back any longer. The emotions he had been suppressing had obviously exploded.
The newborn will be bathed, dried and swaddled by a nurse, so Zhang Xunzhen does not have to worry about it.
She concentrated on using catgut to suture the previous incision, disinfect it, and apply medicine...
At this time, she finally had the time to complain wildly, how could this unmarried virgin know so much about a woman's physiological structure?
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just talk about the two bends on the forceps. You don’t need to know them, you will know them after using them. They are really ingenious. One fits the fetal head perfectly, and the other fits the mother’s pelvis perfectly.
The shape of the pelvic curve is consistent with the birth canal, so this structure is very helpful in guiding the traction force under the pubic bone... She really admired Lao Liu but was speechless.
~~
In any case, the depressing atmosphere in the dormitory all night finally dissipated.
Boss Zhu’s family had laughter and laughter again, and they all felt hungry.
The palace servants quickly served supper.
As soon as Zhu Zhen filled his stomach, Zhang Xunzhen came out with the baby in his arms and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince on the wedding."
"Haha, thank you very much." The prince smiled with a smile on his face and bowed to Zhang Xunzhen repeatedly, but he didn't even bother to look at his third child, and rushed into the delivery room like a rabbit.
Crown Princess Chang was seen lying quietly on the bed. Although she had not yet woken up, her breathing was even and her expression was peaceful. She was obviously out of danger.
The prince took a deep breath to swallow back the tears that were swirling in his eyes, then walked lightly, walked to the bed and sat down, holding one of his wife's hands.
Mrs. Chang seemed to be aware of it. She opened her eyes a little and saw her husband.
"It's great that you're okay." The prince choked up happily.
Chang smiled tiredly at him. Although he couldn't say anything, the prince was extremely satisfied. The tears he had just suppressed could not help but flow down again.
~~
In the outer room, Zhang Xunzhen handed the baby into Queen Ma's hands, thus completing the task completely.
She walked to Lao Liu with ease, sat down, and looked at him with a smile, as if asking for credit and reward.
Lao Liu looked up and saw that the whole family was surrounding his eldest brother, Lao San, to celebrate, and no one paid attention to his side.
He quickly put his head in and kissed Zhang Xunzhen...
Zhang Xunzhen was stunned immediately. It took him a while to react, then he blushed to the bottom of his ears and cursed in a low voice: "Rogue."
