Not all female patients can understand dical students like Bed Number Four.
Xie Wanying walked closer to the bedside alone, pulling out the handkerchief from her white coat pocket to wipe the woman’s face.
Grasping the handkerchief handed to her, the woman opened her eyes and said, "It looks a bit like my husband’s handkerchief."
It was the one she bought for Senior Cao and later Senior Cao gave it to her, and she didn’t send it back, needing to buy a new one instead. Thinking about this, Xie Wanying was amused by herself.
"Do you want to see your husband?" The nurse walked over and asked the woman again.
"No." Bed Number Three responded, her face visibly puffed up with anger, "He’s not here."
The dical staff present were stunned.
It’s actually not uncommon for won whose husbands are absent during childbirth. There are many reasons why husbands might not accompany their wives to the hospital for delivery. Most often, it’s due to work commitnts and they can’t make it.
"He’s a policeman, out of town, and said he couldn’t make it back." After saying this, Bed Number Three’s tears rolled down again, looking very aggrieved. She was here in pain and fear while her husband was not present. What suddenly made her emotionally collapse was seeing dical staff running back and forth, hearing that a woman around the sa age as herself (Bed Number Four) was about to die, which greatly terrified her. She thought about what would happen if she and the child needed ergency care and her husband was not there.
"Your family mbers are outside with you, and it’s the sa nature. They can also help sign for you." The nurse repeatedly tried to comfort the patient.
But Bed Number Three’s tears continued to fall. Others can’t compare to her husband; the child is theirs, not anyone else’s. Making decisions is certainly between her and her husband and cannot be done by others.
Xie Wanying picked up the labor progress observation record sheet placed at the end of the bed, which had the midwife’s records.
The latest record from twenty minutes ago showed fetal heart rate of one hundred twenty beats per minute, contractions lasting twenty seconds, with an interval of about six minutes, the cervix was soft, cervical dilation was five centiters, and the fetal mbranes had not ruptured.
Looking at the record from the previous hour, it showed fetal heart rate of one hundred twenty beats per minute, contractions lasting twenty seconds, with an interval of four to five minutes, the cervix was soft, cervical dilation was five centiters, and the fetal mbranes had not ruptured.
Looking at this, it seems the woman showed signs of prolonged labor. Labor lasting more than 24 hours is considered prolonged, specifically depending on which stage of labor is obstructed. Like the current patient, it could be in the period where cervical dilation was supposed to accelerate and got delayed; after two to three centiters, dilation was less than one centiter per hour, indicating slow progress in the first stage of labor.
"She is too nervous. I tried to persuade her to relax a bit." The midwife in charge of monitoring the situation of Bed Number Three walked over and said.
Emotions are a major factor affecting cervical dilation.
At this stage, besides comforting and encouraging the patient, there’s no better approach than just randomly adding dical interventions.
Fortunately, Bed Number Three seed very interested in her handkerchief, asking her, "Was it given to you by your significant other?"
This question similarly caught Student Geng’s attention, turning his head and giving her a focused look: Is the only girl in the class dating?
"No." Xie Wanying shook her head. The back-and-forth process of sending this between her and Senior Cao was too complicated to speak about.
Seeing the words hidden in her expression, Bed Number Three squeezed out a touch of sentint amidst the contraction pain and said to her, "Cherish the ti spent together with your partner."
Don’t assu that once two people establish a relationship, they can frequently be together. For many couples, this is basically impossible. For many won, giving birth is the most painful thing in their life and the mont they feel most vulnerable. Without the companionship of the other half, without the other half following along to bear the risks of having a child, just thinking about it is very hard.
