She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 538 Sister Ru gave birth early

It was Ruan, the housekeeper who was given by the palace as a dowry to Shangguan Ru.

"Your servant greets Princess Rong. Our lady has had her period and the master is not at home, so the lady sent me here to ask the princess to keep her company." Ruan respectfully explained her purpose.

"Sister Ru has responded? Calculating the date, it's still half a month away, right? But half a month earlier is normal. You go back first, I'll tell Mother and come right away."

"Yes."

Yu Yuanzheng went to the main courtyard immediately.

"I'll go with you. I've prepared a lot of clothes for the child, so take them with you." The old princess treated Shangguan Ruzhen as well as her own daughter.

Every three days someone would be sent to check on her and come back to report.

I just went to see them yesterday, and they didn't say there was any problem. The servants took good care of us.

Is there any movement this morning?

The two soon arrived at the three-story small house that Zhong Weiliang later bought in the capital.

Hurried into the inner courtyard.

"Ruru, how do you feel?" the old princess asked worriedly.

"Mother, it's okay. I just had some spotting when I got up this morning, but only a little bit, and it's gone now. I was worried that I would go into labor, so I thought of asking my sister-in-law to come and keep me company." Shangguan Ru didn't dare to move with her belly bulging, so she lay on the recliner.

The two saw that Shangguan Ru was indeed very calm, and they didn't know whether she was really going to give birth.

"Sister Ru, let me check you first." Yu Yuanzheng stepped forward and gently helped her up.

After entering the inner room and lying down, Yu Yuanzheng felt the fetal position and found it was a little bit posterior, but it was not a big deal.

After checking again, it was already one finger open.

"Sister Ru, don't you feel the contractions?"

"I just felt my stomach getting hard from time to time, but I didn't feel any obvious pain."

"Sister Ru, let's go to the hospital now. The birth is really coming. This is your third child, so you may not feel it that obviously, but it will come soon."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly made arrangements.

After arriving at the hospital, she was admitted to the obstetrics department. Just as Yu Yuanzheng had expected, she soon showed signs of uterine contractions.

At this time, a man on a fast horse came galloping towards the city gate. He was covered in dust and it was obvious that he had been traveling for a long time.

The two servants behind could hardly keep up with the speed of their master in front.

This person is Zhong Weiliang.

More than three months ago, he received an imperial edict to leave the capital to pick up the villagers from Haiyue Island and settle them in Wei.

But he was worried about his pregnant wife every day.

So in order to finish the task as soon as possible, he rushed all the way.

Fortunately, the four girls of the Chun family were very helpful. As soon as they returned to the island, they explained to the villagers what the outside world was like.

The women were all very excited after hearing this, and quickly made up their minds to follow him out.

It was spring at the time, and there were no strong winds or waves on the sea, so the journey was smooth.

As soon as they got ashore, they took the people to the place that County Magistrate Qin had prepared long ago.

The following matters were no longer his responsibility and would be fully handled by County Magistrate Qin.

Then he just wrote a memorial and gave it to the postman to deliver to the capital, and then quickly rode back to the capital.

He didn't know when his wife would give birth, but he had heard the princess mention that women who had given birth usually gave birth earlier. He couldn't estimate the time, so he had to come back as early as possible.

When he got home, he found that only the wet nurse was at home with his son, and his wife had already gone to the hospital.

He became even more anxious and rushed to the hospital without even changing his clothes.

At this time in the obstetrics department of the hospital.

Shangguan Ru has been sent to the delivery room.

Yu Yuanzheng planned to deliver her baby herself.

But when Yu Yuanzheng examined her again, he discovered a more serious problem.

Sister Ru actually had placenta previa. Although not all of it was blocked, she estimated that about one-sixth of it was blocked.

Now that my cervix is ​​dilated, what should I do?

But now that it has started, she can't tell Sister Ru directly.

"Sister Ru, have you ever had bleeding before?" Yu Yuanzheng wanted to know more details.

"Sometimes there is a little bit, but not much, and then it disappears. This has only happened in the last few days. It never happened ten days ago. I thought it might be because I was about to give birth, so I didn't pay much attention to it." Shangguan Ru said truthfully.

Yu Yuanzheng already had an idea in mind.

The feeling she had just had when she probed the cervix must be correct.

Just as she guessed.

Yu Yuanzheng asked Mrs. Xie to take care of the baby first. She left the delivery room and prepared some medicine in advance to prevent heavy bleeding. She also wanted to provide acupuncture.

As a result, as soon as she came out of the delivery room, she saw Zhong Weiliang, dressed in dust, running towards her.

"Hey, my brother-in-law is back so soon?" Yu Yuanzheng looked at the person running towards them in confusion.

"Hello, mother-in-law, sister-in-law. Is Ru'er okay?" Zhong Weiliang asked while panting.

Seeing Zhong Weiliang's anxious look, Yu Yuanzheng comforted him, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. Sister Ru is fine. She just has some special circumstances that need to be dealt with."

She led Zhong Weiliang aside and whispered, "Sister Ru's pregnancy is in trouble. Her cervix is ​​now dilated, and there's a risk of heavy bleeding. I'm just about to order someone to prepare hemostatics and acupuncture equipment, but you should be mentally prepared."

Zhong Weiliang's face turned pale instantly, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously: "Sister-in-law, how could this happen? Ru'er obeyed you and went to the hospital regularly for fetal checkups."

"Brother-in-law, the hospital only checks whether the fetus is in the right position, but a condition like Sister Ru's is usually not detected.

If I hadn’t felt it, a normal midwife wouldn’t have been able to find it out.”

"What? Sister-in-law, can you tell me more details?" Zhong Weiliang was frightened. The fetal position was obviously correct, so how could there be a problem?

Seeing that he must know the details, Yu Yuanzheng had to explain it to him with a simple description.

Zhong Weiliang understood, but became even more worried.

"Sister-in-law, please, you must save Ru'er." Zhong Weiliang bowed deeply.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Yu Yuanzheng patted his shoulder. "Go change into clean clothes now. Sister Ru will definitely dislike you if she sees you like this. Mother and I are here."

"Zheng'er?" The old princess had been watching from the side, and did not come forward when she saw them talking in a low voice.

"It's alright, Mother. Just sit there and wait. I'll take care of everything."

After Zhong Weiliang left in a hurry, Yu Yuanzheng immediately called the female doctors to prepare.

She asked the pharmacy to bring her some precious century-old ginseng slices and prepared a decoction.

Let the medicine boy prepare it first and set it aside.

Then he took out the silver needle he had used.

Back in the delivery room, Shangguan Ru's contractions had intensified and beads of sweat were oozing from her forehead.

Yu Yuanzheng held her hand and said softly, "Sister Ru, your brother-in-law is back and waiting outside. Just focus on giving birth now. I'll be by your side."

"Really?" No matter how strong Shangguan Ru was, she was extremely happy to hear that her husband had returned at this time.

Shangguan Ru smiled with relief, but was immediately interrupted by the pain of labor.

Yu Yuanzheng took advantage of the intervals between her contractions to quickly apply acupuncture to her Hegu, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints to promote uterine contractions and prevent excessive bleeding.

As time went on, Yu Yuanzheng noticed that the bleeding was indeed heavier than a normal delivery. She acted decisively, having Mrs. Xie give Shangguan Ru the prepared ginseng soup and intensifying the acupuncture on several key points in her lower abdomen.

"Sister Ru, try harder! I can already see the baby's head!" Yu Yuanzheng encouraged.

"Ruru, I'm outside, don't be afraid." At this time, a loud shout came from outside the delivery room.

It was Zhong Weiliang who changed his clothes as quickly as possible and ran back.
