As Shen Tianshu continued to use warm moxibustion, the mother felt that her intestines and stomach seemed to be gradually comfortable, and soon she felt that her stomach was growling and she was very hungry.
"I, I seem a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Shen Tianshu said to Zhang Muqiu without looking back: "I asked her family to buy food. You go out and bring it in."
Zhang Muqiu subconsciously followed Shen Tianshu's instructions and went out to bring the food in before he realized why he was so obedient?
On the tray were two plates of soft snacks and soup, which were relatively easy to eat and digest.
At this time, the mother felt very hungry, so she ate most of the snacks in one go with the soup.
Zhang Muqiu was greatly relieved when she saw that the mother was willing to eat. She wanted to eat well, and she would have the strength to give birth after eating.
At this time, she finally understood the purpose of Shen Tianshu's warming moxibustion.
Generally speaking, when a pregnant woman goes into labor, the fetus will start to move downward before the onset of labor.
Therefore, many people will suddenly feel an appetite before giving birth. This is because the fetus moves downward and no longer presses against the mother's stomach.
But today, this woman with dystocia suffered from abdominal pain and loss of appetite during labor because her epigastrium was deficient and cold.
Warm moxibustion has the function of unblocking the meridians and expelling cold evil. It can also promote qi and blood circulation, warm and replenish qi.
Zhang Muqiu used acupuncture for this purpose before, but because the mother was too weak, the effect was not obvious.
On the basis of her acupuncture, Shen Tianshu added warm moxibustion at Zhongwan point to speed up the effect and have the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi.
Now the mother's stomach is comfortable and she can eat naturally.
When the food is eaten, it can restore the energy and improve the internal energy, so that the mother will have the energy to give birth.
Sure enough, after the mother ate, she began to have abdominal pain again, which became tighter and tighter.
Hearing the mother's moans coming from inside again, the family members outside became nervous again.
Since ancient times, when a woman gave birth to a child, it was like walking through the gates of hell, which could range from half-dead to alive, or to two dead bodies at worst.
At this time, the mother's cervix has been dilated. This is her third pregnancy, so she naturally knows how to exert force.
The difficulty in giving birth before was just due to lack of strength. Now that my strength has returned, I can soon use my strength along with the pain of abdominal contraction.
In less than an hour, the baby was successfully delivered from the mother's body.
Fortunately, the situation that Shen Tianshu and Zhang Muqiu were worried about did not happen. The child started crying loudly as soon as he was born, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly even outside.
Shen Tianshu checked the child and found that there was no disability or defect. He cleaned the child, wrapped it and handed it to Zhang Muqiu, saying: "It's a boy. It's okay to take him out and show it to his family."
Zhang Muqiu took the child, but did not go out. Instead, he said: "I'd better stay in the delivery room and wait for the baby to come out. It's all your credit that the mother can give birth to the baby smoothly. It's better for you to carry the baby out. You are more mature than me." The mother’s family should be grateful…”
"It doesn't matter who takes her out. The best comfort is that the mother and child are safe, and nothing else matters." Shen Tianshu said with a smile, "Go quickly, her family must be waiting in a hurry.
Zhang Muqiu couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose when he heard these familiar words.
She quickly lowered her eyes, turned around, and carried the baby out of the delivery room.
The mother's family had long heard the baby's cry. At this time, they were all crowded at the door of the inner room. If the guards hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed in.
"Don't worry, I gave birth to a big fat baby. Mother and baby are safe." Zhang Muqiu said, putting the baby in his father's arms.
"Okay, okay, I hope everything is safe!" The child's father hugged the child and thanked Zhang Muqiu repeatedly, "Doctor Zhang, it's really thanks to you this time."
But Zhang Muqiu shook his head and said: "This time, mother and child are safe, all thanks to Mrs. Tong. It was her timely use of moxa sticks to warm and moxibustion the mother's acupuncture points, which enabled such a smooth delivery. I will never dare to take credit."
"We are all grateful to you and Mrs. Tong, thank you all!"
"We are just doing our duty as medical practitioners. But you must learn from the lesson in the future. Don't take it lightly as if it is just a minor problem. A stomachache may seem like a minor thing at first, but in the end it almost led to a catastrophe. .”
"Isn't that right? Doctor Zhang is right, we will never dare to do it again in the future."
Not long after, the mother's afterbirth finally came off smoothly. Shen Tianshu checked that it was intact and finally felt relieved.
She left the delivery room and asked the mother's family to come in and take care of her, so as not to be thanked by the mother's family again.
Shen Tianshu finally got out. He wanted to raise his hands to wipe his sweat, but he saw blood on his hands.
She was about to ask Minghui to fetch water to wash her hands, but Zhang Muqiu suddenly took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and said, "This handkerchief is clean."
After Zhang Muqiu said this, he took two steps forward and raised his hand to gently wipe away the sweat from Shen Tianshu's forehead just like he did when he was still with Jiang Tong.
After wiping her hand, she took back her hand, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a rather stiff tone: "Thank you so much for today. Also, I just saw your moxibustion technique..."
Shen Tianshu's heart tightened when he heard this. She had just been focusing on how to save the mother, and she didn't expect to hide her method. She didn't expect that Zhang Muqiu would see it.
Just when she was thinking about how to deal with it, she heard Zhang Muqiu continue: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you before. Judging from your technique, you must have learned medical skills from the princess, and you are far better than me." good."
After hearing this, Shen Tianshu suddenly relaxed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been nervous for a long time just now, thinking that she would be suspected this time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Muchiu actually took the initiative to help her find a suitable explanation.
But thinking about it, the situation like hers of resurrecting a dead body is really too bizarre. If not for personal experience, who would think about it!
Even if she admitted it herself, others would probably think she was crazy and would not believe that such a thing could happen in the world.
"There is actually nothing wrong with your handling today, but you are still relatively inexperienced. This mother's stomach trouble has lasted for more than a day or two. She has been suffering from stomach pain and anorexia for a long time. Her physical condition is not very good, and it coincides with a critical moment such as labor. , simple acupuncture is too slow to take effect. At this time, adding warm moxibustion to the correct acupoints will achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
If Shen Tianshu had said this before, Zhang Muqiu would definitely not be convinced and would not take it seriously.
But after getting approval and speaking out at this time, Zhang Muqiu listened very carefully, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "The tone of your words is really similar to that of the princess. If you weren't standing in front of me, your voice would be different." , I almost wonder if I am dreaming, in which the princess is teaching me medical skills."
