The Transmigrated Life of a Salty Fish Family

Chapter 883 Delivery
When Li Xuemei entered the delivery room.

Qiu Xiang is explaining the situation to Yan Yu.

She listened from the side and asked, "Is there any way to widen it a few more fingers?"

Although I was mentally prepared to have surgery.

It might be better to stay put.

Qiu Xiang then explained in a low voice.

Li Xuemei understood.

The fetus is developing very well, but the Crown Princess is small, and the baby's head is blocking the birth canal tightly, preventing the amniotic fluid from flowing out. Without lubrication, dilating a few more centimeters won't solve the problem.

Seeing Qiu Xiang's boldness in explaining the risks involved, the midwife beside her gritted her teeth and said, "A female physician from the previous dynasty once used a method to make a small incision to increase the distance between the fingers."

Li Xuemei, having been through it all, understood immediately.

Make an incision at the bottom with a knife...

Considering the Crown Princess's acceptance level, and the future harmonious life of the young couple...

That would be better done on the stomach.

"Your Highness!" Her voice was solemn and powerful. "Please trust us, we will do our utmost to help you with your delivery."

The Crown Princess felt Lady Yan gently wiping the sweat from her forehead, face, neck, shoulders, and body with a cloth.

"Qiu Xiang's skills are excellent. She has saved countless people on the battlefield. Her hands are very dexterous, and she can use a knife quickly and accurately. Even in the harsh environment of the battlefield, she can still cut away the rotten flesh without distraction and suture the wounds with thread. The sutures on the wounded soldiers who have recovered are very shallow. The catgut sutures that we prepared in advance are very thin and very tough. The biggest advantage is that the sutures do not need to be removed. The catgut sutures will be slowly absorbed by the skin as the wound heals, leaving very shallow scars."

"As you heard, the child is fine and healthy, probably taking after his father. He's a bit older than usual. The birth was difficult, but the Crown Princess will understand the benefits once he's born. A strong child is easy to raise."

"Qiuxiang will make a small incision here, just below your abdomen, about this long, cutting through the surface of the skin. It won't hurt the inside. Don't worry, this incision may look long, but once the baby comes out, the bulging belly will shrink back and become about this long, a little longer than a finger."

“The doll came out from here, and you and it are both safe.”

"Do you mind having scars on your body?" Li Xuemei asked softly.

"Madam Yan, I..." The Crown Princess's tears flowed like rain, "I'm a little scared, can you, can you stay with me?"

Li Xuemei softened her entire body, then reached out and hugged her, trying to press her body against the princess's body as much as possible.

"Don't be afraid, we're all here. Do you remember, Your Highness? I promised to be with you during childbirth, Your Highness! Everything will be alright!"

The Crown Princess nodded with tears in her eyes.

Yan Yu looked at Qiu Xiang and nodded to her.

Qiu Xiang took out a small bottle from the medicine box and poured out a pill.

Yan Yu took it and served it to the Crown Princess.

"Princess Consort, take this pill and you will fall asleep. Once you're asleep, you won't feel any pain. Please take it quickly."

The Qiuxiang brand optimized sleeping pill is actually an anesthetic.

A must-have for surgery!
The Crown Princess looked at the medicine, then at the waiter.

There was no fear in Xiao Er's eyes, only determination and full confidence.

The Crown Princess forced a smile despite the pain.

She said softly, "Waiter, feed your sister."

Without saying a word, Yan Yu fed the pill into the Crown Princess's mouth with such fluidity that even the maid beside her couldn't stop her.

"Prince Princess!"

"Prince Princess!"

Li Xuemei glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Waiter, take them out."

If you can't help, don't stay and cause trouble.

He's making a fuss over a simple dose of anesthesia; who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause when Qiu Xiang actually performs the surgery.

"Go to the inner room and see if it's prepared as we instructed. If it is, first fumigate it with strong liquor or vinegar."

Yan Yu fed the Crown Princess two sips of fruit juice and quickly replied, "Yes, Mother."

She lifted the curtain and went into the inner room of the delivery room.

The room was empty except for a wooden bed. Clean white cotton cloths were hung on the walls and windows, and the floor was spotless.

"Mother, you've passed."

Then, standing inside the door, he loudly ordered people to prepare a steamer and strong liquor, and to send them into the inner room first.

She was the only one who picked him up and dropped him off.

Ready.

Li Xuemei: "Carry the Crown Princess over there."

The anesthetic Qiu Xiang made was very strong and took effect quickly; in just a short while, the Crown Princess was already dizzy and disoriented.

I only vaguely felt myself floating up, and then I arrived at a white, misty place. The strong smell of alcohol permeated everything, enveloping me completely.

The Crown Princess fell into a deep sleep and was no longer aware of anything.

Yan Yu gently put the person down, and Li Xuemei then helped Qiu Xiang wipe the princess's body.

"Get out, get out, we don't need you here."

The chubby boy forcefully chased people away.

Who can withstand her pushing?

Whether on the battlefield or blocking the entrance to the delivery room, General Yan was a formidable force, capable of holding off ten thousand men.

At this moment, only Qiu Xiang and Li Xuemei were busy in the actual delivery room.

As a medical-grade AI, Qiu Xiang finds it very easy to keep herself clean.

Self-disinfection by high temperature is sufficient.

Li Xuemei had a more complicated situation. Her clothes were already dirty, so she had to change them again. She washed her hands three times with scented soap, then soaked them in strong liquor, and Qiu Xiang heated and dried them for her.

Fortunately, she was doing the work of an assistant.

He would hand things to Qiu Xiang whenever she needed them.

In reality, Qiu Xiang could handle it all by herself; she didn't need to lift a finger.

Li Xuemei thus became a true, practical companion during childbirth.

Accompanying during childbirth.

Qiu Xiang didn't have that many scalpels, but fortunately, she made a clean cut in one stroke, using just the right amount of force to cut through the skin, resulting in a neat and even incision.

He put down the knife and reached straight in with one hand.

Li Xuemei saw the Crown Princess's belly swell a few times, and then Qiu Xiang pulled out a living child with one hand!
They pulled it out!
Li Xuemei was stunned for a moment.

So fast!
So fast?!
How can it be so fast? !
Qiu Xiang gestured twice for Li Xuemei to take the child.

The latter showed no response whatsoever.

I was stunned!
He had no choice but to say, "My wife, the baby has been born."

"Ah? Oh! Yes, you pulled the baby out, no, the baby was born..."

Li Xuemei hurriedly caught the blood-covered child.

The newborn little life is so soft and delicate; it feels like it could be hurt if you exert even the slightest force.

Qiu Xiang changed to a different pair of scissors and snipped off the umbilical cord.

I casually patted the baby's bottom.

The baby's cries filled the entire room.

Yan Yu stood outside, listening intently, afraid of missing anything.

Hearing the crying startled me.

"Mother? She's been born?"

Li Xuemei answered from inside, "She gave birth; it's a boy."

Good heavens, this is really good heavens!
It was born just like that?

Good heavens! That's so fast!
Everyone outside the delivery room felt like they were hallucinating.

Is it really that fast?
That's definitely a child crying, right?
Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other, and an eerie silence fell over them.

I don't know who spoke first.

I asked timidly, "Has the Crown Princess given birth?"

"It's born! It's born!" Yan Yu shouted from inside. "It's a boy!"

The servants who served the Crown Princess wept with joy!

Running around telling each other.

Let's not talk about the hustle and bustle outside.

Qiu Xiang continuously heated and sterilized her hands, carefully repositioning the Crown Princess's belly, applying medicine, closing the abdomen, and suturing it...

Following Qiu Xiang's instructions, Li Xuemei cleaned the baby and applied the ointment to the tiny navel.

Then, it was neatly wrapped up with a pre-prepared cloth.

After doing all this, I turned around.

The Crown Princess has been tidied up by Qiu Xiang, and even her maternity clothes have been changed.

I exceeded the word limit, but thankfully I didn't exceed the time limit, haha~
Regarding the issue of the baby's head blocking the flow of amniotic fluid, this is based on a real-life example, not fiction! So, ladies, please be careful during your pregnancies: don't eat too much rich food, maintain a balanced diet, and follow your doctor's advice! Understand?
