Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

Chapter 74 Old Iron

Generally, the baby's position is fixed by the eighth month of pregnancy.

However, some "naughty" babies like to move around a lot, so it's necessary to check their position again before delivery.

For a vaginal delivery, the baby must be in the correct position.

The fetus must be head down.

If the baby is in a transverse position, or with its feet pointing downwards, it is considered malposition of the fetus.

If the baby is in an incorrect position and vaginal delivery is not possible, a cesarean section can be performed.

Ultrasound is generally more accurate, but when conditions do not allow for it, traditional methods must be used.

Place both hands at the bottom of the uterus and stroke the lowest part of the uterus. Then gently stroke with your fingertips. If you feel something hard and also a floating sensation, that is the baby's head.

If the area you touch is very soft and irregular, it is very likely the baby's bottom!

In the summer, I gently pressed it with my fingertips.

It feels very hard.

In addition, the pre-pregnancy check-up was normal, and the fetus was in the correct position.

"The baby is in the correct position, and this is your second pregnancy, so natural childbirth is possible."

Comforting pregnant women in the summer.

"Don't be nervous. Did you have gestational hypertension during your first childbirth?"

The pregnant woman shook her head: "No... I was young then."

"Doctor, is my gestational hypertension very serious?"

"Will there be any problems with producing here?"

Before Xia Tian could even open her mouth, he finished speaking.

A wave of pain washed over me.

The pregnant woman was pale, her screams were heart-wrenching, her bangs were soaked and stuck to her cheeks, and the veins on her hands, which were gripping her clothes, were bulging.

"Take a deep breath."

"Remember to take deep breaths."

"Don't hold your breath. Take a deep breath with me, then exhale."

Inhale, exhale.

"Master the rhythm."

With Xia Tian's help, the pregnant woman adjusted her breathing, and the contractions quickly subsided.

A woman next to her wiped the pregnant woman's sweat and gave her a bottle of Red Bull to drink.

During childbirth, pregnant women expend a lot of energy, so it's necessary to prepare some snacks, such as chocolate and Red Bull, to help them quickly regain their strength.

After adjusting her breathing, Xia Tian answered the pregnant woman's question.

"Don't worry."

"Your cervix is not fully dilated yet, it will take at least another hour. The train conductor has already checked, and when we stop at the next station, they will call an ambulance to pick you up on the platform."

"Pregnancy-induced hypertension is a very common condition."

"5-10 out of every 100 pregnant women are at low risk."

"The important thing is that you need to regulate your breathing, and remember not to rush it, so as to keep your blood pressure stable."

Summer's answer was very professional, which gave the pregnant woman some confidence.

"Xiao Bei, how long did the last contractions last, and how long did they last this time?"

"Seven minutes, that's 15 seconds."

"Check the cervix again."

"good!"

The two worked together, with Wang Xiaobei assisting.

After checking, Wang Xiaobei's expression turned somewhat grim: "The cervix is already dilated to four fingers, about seven centimeters."

Summer felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

A fully dilated cervix is 10 centimeters.

When contractions occur every 4 minutes and last for 30 seconds, the pregnant woman is about to give birth.

I probably can't wait an hour.

If the pregnant woman is healthy, she can be delivered directly. As surgeons, Xia Tian and Wang Xiaobei both remember the delivery process by heart.

However... the pregnant woman had gestational hypertension.

During childbirth, a sudden spike in blood pressure can directly cause massive intracranial hemorrhage.

Even brain death...

I glanced at the little boy who was crying with fear.

Summer felt a tightness in her chest.

Don't let anything happen.

Don't let anything happen in front of the children.

"Where is the train conductor?"

"Why haven't you come back yet after so long?"

Xia Tian shouted loudly into the crowd.

The train conductor's voice came from afar and grew closer.

"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes!"

"Coming right away."

As the sound grew louder, two train attendants rushed over carrying four large first-aid kits.

"Dr. Xia, this is a medical first aid kit."

"In addition, I asked the train conductor, and it will take 45 minutes to reach the next stop, Chenzhou. We have already notified the ambulance from Chenzhou Provincial Hospital to be on standby at the station. As soon as we arrive at the station, we will immediately take the patient to the hospital."

"Can the patient wait 45 minutes?"

The train attendant was a young woman in her early twenties, her youthful face filled with panic.

45 minutes is too long!

He had just predicted the pregnant woman would have an hour, but the contractions were getting shorter and shorter.

There is a possibility of giving birth at any time.

I'll do my best.

Summer said to the train conductor, "In these 45 minutes, we need to be prepared for the possibility that the pregnant woman will suddenly go into labor. Please prepare clean towels, hot water, and the like."

Please cooperate with us at any time.

The train conductor's watery eyes were filled with fear.

She nodded to Xia Tian.

"Okay, Dr. Xia, I'll go prepare right away."

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage was as tense as a pressure cooker, ready to explode at any moment.

Pregnant women are especially tense all over.

For a person with high blood pressure, stress can cause her blood pressure to spike.

Summer swept away the seriousness from her face and smiled as she spoke to the pregnant woman.

Did you check the gender during your prenatal checkup?

The pregnant woman replied, "The doctor said the baby looks like a small teapot, so it should be a boy."

During a hospital examination, the sex of the fetus cannot be revealed.

But doctors usually give hints.
