Chapter 26 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (26)
After the B-ultrasound was done, the doctor said to Xu Yin: "You'd better prepare for a caesarean section. The fetal position is not correct and a natural delivery may not go smoothly."
Xu Yin’s heart skipped a beat.
Thinking of this plot in the original text, Sister-in-law Xu’s birth was extremely difficult. In addition, she did not take good care of the fetus, and she was also abused by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her body was already weak, and she suffered from severe bleeding after giving birth. It would be over...
Thinking of this, Xu Yin subconsciously grabbed the doctor's white coat: "In your opinion, should I do the dissection directly, or should I do it first if it doesn't work?"
The doctor sighed: "After term, it is basically impossible to correct the fetal position."
The implication is that if you want to suffer less, just have an autopsy. To do it right first and then cut it open is like suffering twice.
But she has seen too many similar cases, and many people are not willing to have a caesarean section at all. Firstly, the recovery from cesarean section is slower than that of normal birth, and secondly, the cost is high.
She looked at the medical records and found that those from rural areas were less likely to be willing to perform an autopsy directly.
"Then let's perform an autopsy immediately." Xu Yin made a decision immediately.
The doctor was stunned for a moment: "Can you make the decision?"
"The one inside is my sister-in-law. My brother is working out of town and can't make it. I'm the only one who can make the decision." Xu Yin smiled, "I'll pay the fee right away. Doctor, which day do you think is better for the caesarean section?"
“The sooner the better!”
So, the first operation was performed at 1:30 in the afternoon, and Mrs. Xu was pushed into the delivery room.
Seeing that she was nervous, the doctor who gave her anesthesia said: "You are lucky, the person who performed the anatomy on you is the chief physician our director just hired from the provincial hospital."
"thanks, thanks!"
Sister-in-law Xu kept thanking the chief physician who prepared the cesarean section.
The chief physician smiled gently: "You're welcome. If you want to thank your sister, I should thank your sister. I saw that she was so decisive, so I decided to do the surgery."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu choked up with emotion: "That's not my sister, that's my sister-in-law."
…
Outside the operating room, Xu Yin was pacing back and forth.
“Yin Yin, how is your sister-in-law? Is she ready?”
Xu's mother received the news that her daughter had sent her home at noon, so she hurriedly grabbed a few bites of rice and rushed over.
My daughter is still a young girl, she doesn’t know how to give birth to a child.
“Mom, sit down and take a breath. My sister-in-law has been in there for more than half an hour and there is still no movement.”
“I hope everything goes well.” Xu’s mother said in her heart, “Bodhisattva bless you.”
Then I thought about the gossip I just heard at the hospital door, frowned and said, "Why did I hear people say that I can't have children at will in the future? Even if I get pregnant, I have to abort it. Is it true or false?"
Xu Yin nodded: "There is such a policy. The city has been implementing it since the beginning of last year, and we will probably implement it soon."
“So, your sister-in-law is quite lucky, she gave birth to another baby before the policy came down.”
Xu’s mother was very happy. Who doesn’t look forward to having more children and grandchildren? Since I can't give birth in the future, I hope that this baby will still be a little golden grandson.
“16 beds for family members!”
“Is the family member of 16-bed room here?”
“Here, there, there!”
Xu Yin heard the nurse calling and hurriedly got up.
"The mother and child are safe. The child is being cleaned and will be taken out immediately. The mother will push him to the ward later."
When she heard that it was Jin's grandson, Xu's mother was filled with joy. She waited for the nurse to come out with the child in her arms, took it into her hands, and happily returned to the ward.
Xu Yin continued to suppress her anxiety and waited outside the operating room.
As long as Mrs. Xu didn't come out, her heart would always be hanging and she couldn't rest peacefully.
Finally, the door to the operating room opened again, and the nurse came out pushing the bed with one hand and holding an IV bottle with the other.
She stepped forward excitedly. "Shh!" the nurse signaled her to be silent. "The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, and the person hasn't woken up yet. Please be quiet."
"oh oh!"
Xu Yin helped lift the intravenous bottle, and asked about when she would wake up, whether she could eat immediately after waking up, etc.
The nurse asked: "Are you really her sister-in-law and not her sister?"
Xu Yin: “…”
The nurse chuckled and said, "It's rare to see a sister-in-law who cares so much about her sister-in-law. In some families, even biological sisters may not care as much as you do."
…”
In any case, with Xu Yin’s ten thousand prayers for peace and success, Sister-in-law Xu finally survived the birth without the plot in the book happening.
On the contrary, the caesarean section operation went extremely smoothly. The operation took only one and a half hours from beginning to end, which was faster than the normal delivery in the adjacent hospital bed. There was no inflammation of the incision after the operation.
However, this may be the advantage of having a baby in winter. If it is summer, in this era of wards without air conditioning or ceiling fans, it is really difficult to ensure that the incision will not become infected with pus.
In the first two days after the caesarean section, Mrs. Xu had not yet started breastfeeding, so Xu Yin bought a can of newborn milk powder at the hospital canteen. It was free of charge, but the price was a bit expensive.
At this time, we no longer have to worry about money. It would be great if we can buy it.
When Xu’s mother scooped out milk powder for the first time, she was like a lady in the cafeteria. She shook her hands and shook down half a spoonful of milk powder.
Xu Yin wanted to cover her face when she saw it: "Mom, you have to follow the instructions when making milk powder. It can't be too thin, otherwise the baby will be hungry before it reaches the end."
Xu’s mother paused and seemed to understand: “Is it just like adults drinking porridge?”
"Yes! If you don't have a full meal, you will get hungry quickly."
"oh."
After that, she scooped out a flat spoon as her daughter told her to do.
After drinking milk powder for two days, Sister-in-law Xu finally began to breastfeed. Although it was not a large amount, it was still no problem to feed the little baby in confinement.
Those who had a caesarean section needed to be observed in the hospital for a few more days, and were discharged later than those who had a vaginal birth. The other patients in the same ward who came in later than her had all given birth and were discharged, and she had not yet left.
Looking at the hospital bills that were flowing out day by day, Mrs. Xu felt anxious.
Fortunately, since Xu’s mother learned about the new childbirth policy, her attitude towards her daughter-in-law, who rushed to give Xu’s family a golden grandson before the policy was implemented, has become much better. In turn, she advised her:
"You've already given birth, and how many days are left? You can live in peace, and I won't ask you for money, so why are you panicking?"
Xu Yin came over right after school, and bought a maternity set meal from the snack bar in front of the hospital. Sometimes it was chicken soup with skimmed oil, and sometimes it was pigeon soup.
The meals in the hospital are relatively light. After the first two days, breastfeeding starts again, and the mother needs to supplement her nutrition.
When I came here that day, I met an unshaven man at the stairs with a bulging luggage bag on his shoulders.
She turned sideways to let him pass first, but was held back by the other party: "Little sister?"
The man scratched his head and grinned, his dark face revealing two rows of white teeth, which reminded Xu Yin of the black toothpaste of later generations.
"elder brother!"
The male protagonist of the original book—her cheap brother appears!
Seems to be much earlier than the original plot.
and-
"I can spend the New Year at home when I come here. Besides, I got promoted and my employer promised to give me a welfare house. If your sister-in-law is willing, she can take Doudou and Dingding with me to live in Tongcheng after the New Year."
Does this verify that the main plot line has been completely distorted?
The nephew was born healthy, Sister-in-law Xu had no dystocia, and the cheap brother returned home early from visiting relatives and wanted to take his wife and children to Tongcheng...
Snowflakes began to drift in the sky at some point, and Xu Yin stretched out her hand to catch one.
Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
The old Xu family will surely be happy and prosperous in the coming year.
