If the pregnant woman feels pain and cannot endure it, then it absolutely cannot be done.
Generally speaking, as long as it’s not the last of the three taboos, you can still try to proceed. If two taboos arise, proceed with caution. Right now, all three are fully triggered.
There’s simply no way to proceed.
Unless anesthesia is administered.
But this external cephalic version is practically impossible to succeed, so it’s actually unnecessary to administer anesthesia to the pregnant woman at this time, which also does not conform to operational protocols.
"Dean Mao, how about I give it a try? If the pregnant woman still feels uncomfortable, I’ll stop immediately."
Zhang Lingchuan spoke up.
"Alright, you give it a try. Xiaoxiu, if you feel any discomfort or sharp pain, express it immediately, and we’ll stop the procedure here, understand? Absolutely don’t endure it; be sure to genuinely express your feelings."
My words have reached this point.
Did not expect this Dr. Xiaochuan would still intend to continue.
Alright, truly not turning back until hitting the wall.
Then let the other party try.
He himself said if Xiaoxiu feels anything unusual, he’ll stop immediately.
So Mao Qin Qin directly explained.
"Okay."
Mu Xiaoxiu nodded.
"Teacher Bao, could you help me with a bit of oil as well?"
Zhang Lingchuan reached out in front of Bao Qing.
"Alright."
Bao Qing nodded and immediately sprinkled oil onto Zhang Lingchuan’s hands.
In terms of the reversal technique, it can be understood as belly massage.
Without oil, it’s too dry; a bit of oil makes the massage better.
Friends who have visited spa services should be very familiar: essential oil back massages.
"It’s enough, thank you, Teacher Bao."
Feeling the oil was sufficient, Zhang Lingchuan withdrew his hand.
"No problem."
Bao Qing and the medical staff on site all watched Zhang Lingchuan.
That online Dr. Zhang, an emerging influential figure in the Emergency Department, everyone was really curious about his technique.
Some even wanted to know if he truly knew the reversal technique.
To be honest, as an obstetrics medical team, we’ve seen the reversal technique and witnessed teachers who make it look extremely impressive when operating it, but when trying it ourselves, find it incredibly difficult.
And challenging to learn.
Who wouldn’t be able to do it?
Upon real operation, you discover.
Hey, strange, why is there no reaction from the fetus in the pregnant woman’s belly when I turn it the same way!
While when the teacher did it, the pregnant woman had hardly any sensation.
Sometimes even if the abdominal wall is thick and the uterus is sensitive, it can still be done.
But here with me...
The pregnant woman feels like she’s being pricked by needles.
What’s going on?!
Many obstetricians have such doubts when learning this technique.
"Ms. Mu Xiaoxiu, you need to relax a bit now. If you really don’t know how to relax, take a deep breath, imagining yourself lying in bed at home, ready to sleep."
Zhang Lingchuan was standing beside the pregnant woman’s belly.
Generally speaking, when doing external cephalic version, the pregnant woman must be in a relatively relaxed state.
"Okay."
"Inhale—exhale—"
Mu Xiaoxiu took a deep breath.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, they saw a pair of hands touch Mu Xiaoxiu’s belly.
And just as that pair of hands touched her belly, Mu Xiaoxiu’s body shuddered suddenly.
Mao Qin Qin and Bao Qing’s pupils constricted beside her.
Did it hurt?!
However, just when they were about to stop, something unexpected happened.
As Zhang Lingchuan’s hand explored Mu Xiaoxiu’s belly, she initially showed a bit of reaction, but quickly the other party completely relaxed.
"???"
"Isn’t this Mu Xiaoxiu supposed to have a thick abdominal wall and sensitive uterus, causing sharp pain upon touch?!"
The medical team was stunned, even starting to self-doubt.
After all, as soon as the director touched, she immediately called to stop.
"This is just the exploratory phase, not applying pressure yet, so even if the abdominal wall is thick and the uterus is sensitive, the pain won’t show so quickly."
As the second-in-command of the obstetrics team, Bao Qing explained to the few interns and others present.
The real pain in the external cephalic version occurs when the fetus is being turned.
The director just used force.
Resulting in the pregnant woman immediately being unable to bear it.
"I see..."
Upon hearing, everyone nodded slightly.
So it hasn’t started yet!
"I’ve already felt the baby’s position. I’ll be starting next; it might hurt a little, bear it for a while."
Zhang Lingchuan said to Mu Xiaoxiu.
"Alright! Dr. Xiaochuan, go ahead!"
Mu Xiaoxiu was engaging in mental preparation.
"???"
Doctors are always lacking in virtue.
Such as when a dentist says, they’re not starting the extraction yet.
Counting down 3, 2, 1.
Just before reaching 3, the tooth is already popped out.
Zhang Lingchuan was the same.
While saying he was about to start, he was actually already doing it.
Everyone saw Dr. Xiaochuan pinching a palm’s width above the navel with one hand, and three fingers below the navel with the other, then somewhat like rotating a steering wheel, also a bit like molding clay during pottery.
Mu Xiaoxiu’s belly was originally round.
As the fetus moved, the whole navel area bulged like a small ball, forming a conical shape.
To put it simply, you could clearly see the fetus twisting inside the belly.
"Hiss—"
Everyone held their breath.
"This..."
Bao Qing looked incredulously at Deputy Dean Mao Qin Qin.
Is this a miracle?!
"Xiaoxiu, how do you feel now? Does it hurt??"
