Chapter 2047: No Choice but to Step Up
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Xie Wanying’s face, all waiting, waiting for her to say something.
"Teacher, get ready, I’ll push." Xie Wanying didn’t waste a word, her resolute attitude clearly showing she was fully prepared to take on any task the teacher assigned.
Du Haiwei was very pleased with the student’s response: excellent, this student knows what she’s doing and understands why she’s becoming a doctor. Becoming a doctor requires a clear mind at all times. Sometimes, there’s really no one else but you to step up.
In this situation right in front of her, if Xie Wanying doesn’t persist, the baby is very likely to die.
It’s difficult for anyone else to suddenly take over her role; they can’t quickly pinpoint the baby’s position in the uterus like she can, nor can they immediately sync with Teacher Du like she already has. All of this requires time to explore anew.
But the situation now is that every second counts.
Xie Wanying’s gaze turned icy; she, being constantly in touch with the mother’s uterus, was as aware as Teacher Du of the baby’s current situation.
No need for the teacher to speak; she absolutely wouldn’t let anyone replace her at this critical moment for the baby’s life.
Others quickly sensed the dire situation underlying their statements.
Huang Zhilei’s expression changed slightly, and he turned and hurriedly walked out of the bedroom.
Feeling that Senior Brother Huang went out, Lin Hao and Li Qi’an turned their heads, listening to the sound of his leather shoes thumping as he rushed down the stairs: unsure of what had happened. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The biggest difference between delivering at home today and in the hospital delivery room is that the delivery room has equipment to monitor the fetus at any time, whereas here there isn’t. The baby’s fetal heart had actually already sent out abnormal signals. But without a fetal heart monitor, everyone except Du Haiwei and Xie Wanying were oblivious.
The air was filled with a fiery tension, and those around felt restless and uneasy. They were just pretending to remain calm in front of the mother.
Everyone held their breath.
The doctor’s hand was adjusting the baby for the final birthing position, lowering the baby’s body, with the fetal back facing up, aligning the baby’s head with the pelvic outlet.
Once the baby’s position was adjusted, the assistant applied force at the right moment.
Others thought Du Haiwei might give instructions for the assistant to cooperate, but it wasn’t necessary.
As Boss Du said, a qualified assistant doesn’t need to wait for the chief surgeon’s command; they can rely on sharp eyesight and hand sensitivity to judge the timing for perfect coordination. Just watch as Xie Wanying freed up her palm and placed it in the precise spot above the maternal symphysis pubis, palm: push—
Pushing at this spot was to help the baby’s little head quickly engage in the pelvis.
Push, push!
The mother’s uterus started moving.
The surrounding people watched her, impressed by her ability to sustain her strength and continue pushing.
The title of "Hercules" in the class for the female scholar was well-earned. Lin Hao and Li Qi’an thought.
In obstetrics, those who’ve tried pushing the baby through the mother’s abdomen know how strenuous the task is. It’s like operating a bulldozer, keeping consistent force to push. Just like during a cesarean, if the doctor’s strength falters, the baby’s head could abruptly slide back, and everything would have to start anew.
