Jinyi Spring

Chapter 45 Hidden Disease
There were several charcoal basins burning in the delivery room, so it was relatively warm.

Grandma Wen was sitting on a specially made chair with a thin mattress covering her.

If it is not the first child and the fetal position is normal, the mother is willing to choose a sitting position for delivery.

Most comfortable.

There are still ropes hanging from the roof. If the sitting position doesn't work, try another position.

Aunt Wang lifted the mattress.

Grandma Wen was wearing a cotton jacket, with only the straps above the chest tied and the bottom open.

No pants either.

Aunt Wang squatted down and took a look at her lower body and said, "It's still early. Grandma, get up and walk around, eat something, and drink a bowl of labor-inducing soup."

Feng Chuchen checked her belly again. "The baby's head is facing downwards, the fetal position is normal, and it has not yet entered the pelvis."

It was only after Grandma Wen stood up that Feng Chuchen noticed the special chair.

This is a nanmu "luxury delivery chair". The seat is like a flush toilet in the past life, with an opening in the middle forming a "U" to facilitate midwifery and baby delivery.

There is a big basin below to catch the children.

Not long after, another midwife hired by the Wen family arrived.

It was agreed before that the delivery would be mainly performed by female doctor Wei, assisted by midwife Wang, and midwife Li would hold the baby's waist.

Doctor Wei was in her thirties. Even after getting married, she continued to work as a doctor and was in charge of midwives.

Female doctors have ranks, and Feng Chuchen, Aunt Wang, and Midwife Li all bowed to her.

"Female doctor Wei."

Female doctor Wei looked at Feng Yichen and Wang Wenpo, who were wearing strange clothes and strange face scarves, and found them particularly annoying.

Feng Chuchen was a girl, so she should wear a face cloth when entering the delivery room. Moreover, Feng Chuchen did learn some real skills from Doctor Feng, as she was the one who adjusted Grandma Wen's fetal position before delivery.

But Wang Wenpo was a country midwife, and she looked disliked in this outfit.

She snorted coldly, "Wang Wengpo, why don't you cover your face with a towel? If you dislike the smell of the delivery room, then don't do this job."

Aunt Wang was skeptical, but she didn't want to offend her.

She explained in a good-tempered manner, "Oh, Dr. Wei has wronged me. I wear a mask not for myself, but for the mother and baby.

"We are talking to the mother and baby at close range, and if we are not careful we will spray our saliva on them. Your female doctors are all screened and have no hidden diseases. But there are all kinds of midwives in the folks. If one has a hidden disease, wouldn't it be a sign of illness?

"Halitosis is not good. When I saw our girl made this kind of mask, I made one and put it on. Grandma Wen is a noble lady, and I was afraid of wronging her."

Not only did the female doctor Wei and the other old women who helped laugh, even Grandma Wen, who had a painful look on her face, laughed.

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Po Wang is very skillful with her hands and feet, and her mouth is also very skillful."

Feng Chuchen praised Aunt Wang in his heart. She was very wise in dealing with people. Her ex-husband's family didn't know how to cherish such a good woman and forced a good daughter-in-law away.

At the beginning of the hour of Hai, as the contractions intensified, the entrance to her womb opened wider and Grandma Wen's cries of pain became more and more frequent.

Aunt Wang kept wiping her lower body with a towel dipped in warm water, and female doctor Wei pushed and pressed her stomach with her hands.

At the end of the Yin hour, Grandma Wen successfully gave birth to a girl.

As soon as the baby came out, he opened his mouth and cried very loudly.

A maid guarding outside laughed and said, "Oh, such a loud noise, it must be a young master."

Prince Wen was extremely happy.

The next moment, I heard the loud voice of the female doctor Wei, "Congratulations, grandma, it's a baby girl, and she's very beautiful."

Prince Wen's joy faded a little.

Still comforting through the window, "That's fine, that's fine, sister, I like it too."

He also sent someone to deliver a letter to Madam Wen.

The words "also" made Grandma Wen feel sad, but when she saw the little baby being held in front of her, the small ball looked very much like the young master, she loved him very much in her heart.

Softly, "Mother's baby."

Since she gave birth to the child, it was all precious. Doctor Wei tied the baby's umbilical cord, gave it a bath, and weighed it, saying, "Five pounds and nine ounces."

Aunt Wang packed up the placenta, and several other maids packed up Grandma Wen and carried her to the bed in the north room.

Only Feng Chuchen was the most idle, watching everything in the room.

At the end of the Yin hour, Feng Chuchen and Aunt Wang left.

The snow was still falling, and the wind was so cold that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Aunt Wang carried the sheep-horn lantern in one hand and walked back to the courtyard with Feng Chuchen in the other.

Soon, the kitchen brought over hot water and two large bowls of chicken noodle soup.

I was very hungry and ate the noodles in one go even though they were a little cold.

Aunt Wang said, "Prenatal check-ups are really important. If it weren't for the girl giving her acupuncture and doing exercises, Grandma Wen's birth wouldn't have been so smooth."

Feng Chuchen said, "It was also a matter of luck. The fetal position was corrected..."

If it is not corrected, the umbilical cord will be severely wrapped around the neck, and the mother and daughter will be in great danger.

Feng Chuchen slept until she woke up naturally. Feng Buji was sitting at the end of the bed watching her obediently.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I ate it. Should I go home today?"

"Ah."

Feng Buji went out and Feng Chuchen put on his clothes.

Aunt Wang has already gotten up.

"Breakfast is here and it's warm on the stove."

After Feng Chuchen finished his meal and packed up his things, he was about to say goodbye to Madam Wen and Grandma Wen when Madam Wen's assistant, Aunt Liu, came.

She gave Feng Chuchen ten taels of silver and Aunt Wang two taels of silver.

This is their wages and rewards.

Then he said, "Miss Feng, my wife wants you to come over and talk to her about something."

It means inviting only her.

Feng Chuchen understood that since he had been given so many benefits, the next moment he should explain the reasons.

The weather cleared up and the morning sun was shining brightly, but the cold wind was still biting and it hurt people's faces.

The room was as warm as spring. Mrs. Wen and Wen Shu were sitting on the kang in the side room.

Madam Wen bowed and smiled, "As expected of you, you are the successor of Doctor Feng. You are truly better than your teacher. I know that without Miss Feng's previous diagnosis and treatment, the eldest daughter-in-law would not have had such a smooth birth."

Feng Chuchen sat on an armchair nearby and said modestly, "Madam Wen, you are too kind."

Madam Wen took Wen Shu's hand and said, "Shu'er is not feeling well, I would like to ask Miss Feng to take a look. There are some things that Miss Feng would be happy to know."

Feng Chuchen's mind raced. Wen Shu had a hidden illness, but he didn't say what was wrong with her.

If I can't find out what disease she has, I won't know what disease she has.

If you find out the disease yourself, it means you have the ability to cure it, but you are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone.

Feng Chuchen smiled and said, "I will do my best."

No humility at all.

Wen Shu sat down next to Feng Chuchen with a red face and stretched out her white wrist.

After examining her left wrist, Feng Chuchen examined her right wrist and looked at her tongue coating.

After careful consideration, he said, "Miss Wen often suffers from lower abdominal pain, especially on the left side. She also has irregular menstruation and blood clots. This is caused by blood stasis, poor blood flow in the uterus or uterine vessels. Miss Wen must have suffered from severe cold when she was young...

"After treatment, the cold and dampness and dysmenorrhea were alleviated, but the poor blood circulation in the uterine vessels did not improve...If it is not treated well, it will be difficult to conceive."

Feng Chuchen not only found out that her left fallopian tube was blocked, but also could pinpoint which section was blocked.
