Chapter 1728: 【1728】Delayed labor
Xie Wanying approached the hospital bed alone, took out the handkerchief in the pocket of her white coat, and wanted to wipe the mother's face.
grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, and the mother opened her eyes and said, "It's a bit like my husband's handkerchief."
is the one she bought for Senior Brother Cao, and Senior Brother Cao gave it to her and she didn't send it back to buy a new one. Thinking of this, Xie Wanying was going to be amused by herself.
"Want to see your husband?" The nurse came over and asked the mother.
"No." No. 3 replied with an extra bed, with an obvious look of anger on his face, "He's not here..."
The medical staff present was stunned.
It is actually not uncommon for maternity clinics where the husband is not present. There are many reasons why a husband does not accompany his wife to the hospital to give birth. Most of them can't come because of work relationship.
"He's a policeman, he's out of town, and he said he won't be able to come back." After the extra bed No. 3 said this, two more tears fell, looking very aggrieved. I feel pain and fear here, but my husband is not there. The reason for her sudden emotional breakdown was that she had just seen the medical staff running around and heard that a mother who was about the same age as her (bed number 4) was going to die, which made her panic. If her husband is not around, what should she do if she and the child need to be rescued.
"The other people in your family are with you outside, and the nature is the same. They can also sign for you." The nurse repeatedly comforted the patient.
But the tears in the extra bed of No. 3 can continue. Let it go. Others can't compare to her husband. The child belongs to her and her husband, not to others. The decision must be made that she and her husband can't be someone else.
Xie Wanying picked up the labor observation record sheet at the end of the bed, which contained the midwife's record.
The latest record 20 minutes ago showed that the fetal heart rate was 120 beats per minute, the uterine contractions were maintained for 20 seconds, the interval was about 6 minutes, the cervix was soft, the cervix was dilated by 5 cm, and the fetal membranes were not ruptured.
Looking at the record of the previous hour, the fetal heart rate was 120 beats per minute, the uterine contractions were maintained for 20 seconds, the intermittent period was four or five minutes, the cervix was soft, the cervix was dilated by five centimeters, and the fetal membranes were not ruptured.
Looking at it this way, it seems that the mother has signs of protracted labor. A maternal total labor more than 24 hours is a delayed labor, depending on which stage of labor is blocked. For example, this patient may have delayed the expansion of the cervix during the period when the cervix should have been accelerated. The expansion of the cervix after two or three centimeters is less than one centimeter per hour, indicating that the first stage of labor is progressing slowly.
"She's too nervous. I have persuaded her to relax." The midwife who was in charge of monitoring the extra bed for No. 3 came over and said.
Emotions are a large category of factors that affect cervical dilation.
At this stage, there is no other better way than to comfort and encourage good patients. Don’t add medical measures casually.
Fortunately, the extra bed No. 3 seemed to be very interested in her handkerchief, and asked her: "Did your partner give it to you?"
These words also caused classmate Geng to look back at her and salute her: Is the only girl in the class falling in love?
"No." Xie Wanying shook her head. The tortuous process of sending this back and forth between her and Senior Brother Cao is indescribable.
Seeing that there was something in her expression, the extra bed No. 3 squeezed out the pain in the contractions and said to her, "Treasure the time you two spend together."
Don't think that the two people have a confirmed relationship and can always be together, which is basically impossible for many couples. For many women, the pain of giving birth is the most painful thing in their life and the most vulnerable moment in their lives. Without the company of the other half, without the other half following along to take the risk of the child, it is hard to think about it.
