Chapter 1327: Final - Ending Five_2
The midwife assisting on the side widened her eyes, watching Mo Yan’s movements carefully, afraid of missing the slightest detail. If she could learn this technique, could she use it when faced with a difficult childbirth where otherwise only the baby could be saved?
Sensing the midwife’s thoughts, Mo Yan finished the last stitch and made a knot in a concealed spot, then advised the midwife, "This method is too risky, I do not recommend you use it."
In modern times, a C-section is not a difficult surgery, mainly because of the advanced equipment available. Here, even if one could manage a barely adequate Surgical Knife, postoperative infection was a hard problem to solve.
To Mo Yan’s knowledge, there was no anti-infective medication suitable for the inflamed incisions of pregnant women in this era. Especially when suturing the uterus, if it weren’t for her resourcefulness, she wouldn’t have been confident about not affecting fertility.
"This... I understand!" Seeing that Mo Yan had no intention of teaching her, the midwife did not dare to ask and had to suppress her curiosity.
To the midwife, this method of childbirth was indeed very difficult, but she did not want to give up. She had delivered babies for decades, never encountering a difficult childbirth—not because there weren’t any, but because she refused to take on those that might present complications, as it would damage her reputation. The temptation to master a method for delivering babies from difficult pregnancies was too great; she did not want to give up so easily.
Mo Yan saw that the midwife was not yet discouraged, but this was someone else’s matter. She would give up once she fully understood the difficulty. Mo Yan slowly retracted the Silver Needles from her friend’s body and took her pulse again. Seeing that the pulse was weak but the vital signs were not bad, she felt somewhat relieved.
What came next was to see how the incision healed. As long as the infection could be controlled, there would be no major problems.
With the help of the midwife and a maid, Mo Yan changed Liu Tinglan into clean clothes and removed all the soiled bedding from the bed, laying down a fresh layer to make Ting Lan more comfortable.
At this point, the Dragon-phoenix Twins that Mo Yan had labored to deliver were cleaned by another maid, and wrapped in soft, warm blankets before being brought before her.
"So adorable!"
