The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 721: At Worst, Both Mother and Child Will Die
The maids quickly laid out clean bedding on the birthing bed.
The nanny hurriedly took the newly purchased scissors and put them in the basin to boil.
Yun Jiao soon arrived with the medical kit. She first smiled at Lady Wu to calm her emotions, "Mother, don’t panic, are you in pain?"
Lady Wu nodded, "Yes, I just checked, I saw some bleeding."
"How often is the pain?"
"It was painful before, but now it doesn’t hurt much."
Gu Yun Jiao hadn’t studied modern obstetrics, but she knew these basic facts. The contractions had just started, so the cervix shouldn’t be dilated yet; childbirth would happen when the contractions became very intense.
She thought for a moment and advised Lady Wu, "It’s probably still early, try walking around the room first, it can make the delivery quicker."
Lady Wu nodded and was led outside by Jiang Zhongxing.
Jiang Youzhi, sweating from practicing swordplay, bathed and came over.
Seeing his mother being cautiously supported by his father, a complex emotion suddenly surged in him.
The child in his mother’s womb was expected and destined to be cherished by everyone right from birth, receiving all the love.
But he was born and abandoned in a muddled manner, and he felt somewhat uneasy in comparison.
Yet, it was only a moment before Jiang Youzhi suppressed this emotion. He walked up to Lady Wu, "Mother, are you alright?"
Lady Wu was just starting a new round of contractions and didn’t have the energy to respond to Jiang Youzhi, focusing solely on inhaling to withstand the pain.
Unknowingly, Lady Wu’s face had somewhat distorted.
Seeing Lady Wu like this, Jiang Youzhi’s heart softened again, thinking of how his mother gave birth to him on a carriage over twenty years ago, which must have been even more painful.
Soon, the midwife came over to check on Lady Wu’s condition and then had her lie on the birthing bed.
The door was closed, and Jiang Zhongxing and Jiang Youzhi were both left outside.
Just then, Jiang Zhongxing remembered Jiang Youzhi’s success in the examination, and he gave his shoulder a resounding slap, "That’s my boy, bringing honor to our Jiang Family."
He suddenly rubbed his hands in excitement, "What a double blessing today."
"In a few days, I’ll throw a feast for you; for three days, we’ll have a flowing banquet outside the residence. Anyone in the Capital City who wants to come and eat can join."
Jiang Youzhi lightly coughed, "Father, you better take it easy, I’m still just a scholar."
"Wait to throw a banquet until I pass the imperial exam as a successful candidate."
Jiang Zhongxing laughed heartily, "Passing is certain. Come spring next year, if my son isn’t the top scorer, he’ll surely be second or third!"
His laughter had barely faded when Lady Wu’s angry voice came out from inside, "Jiang Zhongxing, you heartless thing, I’m in excruciating pain, and you have the nerve to laugh!"
Jiang Zhongxing sheepishly shut his mouth, awkwardly glancing at Jiang Youzhi, and tried to save some face for himself, "Your mother just has this temper, be patient, be patient."
Jiang Youzhi rolled his eyes, not bothering to argue with his father.
Inside, Gu Yun Jiao did not intervene rashly; the two midwives present had been delivering babies for decades and were very experienced.
She was there just in case Lady Wu faced any danger, ready to provide assistance.
The midwife instructed Lady Wu to push.
Lady Wu didn’t cry or shout, putting in all her strength.
Unknowingly, time passed, and the midwife suddenly exclaimed, "Not good, the baby’s hand has come out."
Gu Yun Jiao’s face changed drastically.
During childbirth, the baby should be curled up, with the head coming out first; if the hand is coming out first, it means the baby is transverse!
A transverse position cannot be delivered vaginally.
If not handled properly, it could endanger both lives.
