The woman's pained wail echoed in the delivery room of Da Hwa's First People's Hospital.
She was suspected to be a patient with ectopic neonatal disease because during the psychological assessment before childbirth, the 28-year-old woman drew a forest of flesh and blood. When she was asked if she knew what she drew, the woman said it was probably related to the rumour at Mo Bei.
Statistics showed that the closer the woman's drawing was to Shub-Niggurath, the higher the number of pregnant women.
Therefore, this might decide the strength of the bond. This woman was a high risk of ectopic neonatal syndrome, there was a high chance she would give birth to a different baby even though all her previous checkups showed the fetus was perfectly normal.
It was also this pregnant woman who would become the first woman to receive a Carlot Delivery from this hospital's gynecology department.
The midwife was Chen Miaojuan who had the most experience in ectopic neonatal syndrome. The other doctors, midwives and nurses were part of the normal team.
Even though Da Hwa's Phecda Medical Department had sent a team to observe and provide technical support if needed, and another medical team was stationed at the headquarters to monitor the delivery room, they would not participate in the delivery unless it was absolutely necessary.
This was because the Medical Department needed real data on the effects of the Carlot Delivery performed by normal medical personnel. Only then could they judge whether this technique was suitable for mass dissemination among the public and how effective it would be in preventing disease.
Because of this, the midwifery team was under a lot of pressure.
Between Chen Miaojuan's breaths, the heat from the mask made her heart stutter. It reminded her of her first delivery 10 years ago.
Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the stainless steel cart next to the bed. On it were items like a delivery tray, a hand brush, a towel and so on. It looked like the weapons of a soldier on the battlefield.
"Doctor Chen, when will it be done …" The patient Lee wailed. The husband next to the bed was also very anxious.
They had no idea what kind of risk they were facing, they only knew the results showed that a cesarean section was not suitable for delivery.
To be honest, they had many questions. Previous prenatal checkups said the pelvis was not big but the fetus was not small, so a cesarean section was the better option. But now the statement had completely changed. However, Doctor Chen was an expert. She had invited several famous professors to take a look at the situation and they all decided to give birth naturally.
"Don't worry, it will be soon." Chen Miaojuan comforted the two. She was not confident at all, she was just facing the challenge.
Everything was ready. Anesthesiology, hematology, blood transfusion, ICU, surgery and so on were all ready to save the mother and the baby.
Once there was a problem in the delivery room, everything would be activated.
It would be best if there was no problem here.
Amidst the mother's cries of pain, Chen Miaojuan and the midwives worked together to prepare for the delivery. They cleaned, disinfected, assisted and protected the mother during her contractions. These steps were not part of the Carlot Midwifery. When it came to the step of helping the fetal head bend and slowly lowering, the Carlot Midwifery had begun.
"Ah …" The woman's pained cries became more and more shrill. It was mixed with a hoarse voice. It shook the medical staff slightly.
The woman's husband also picked up the anomaly. He asked in confusion, "What, what is this?"
Inside the delivery room, Phecda Doctor Zhang Haolin and the few people from the Spell Department sensed the strange movement of the dark energy. It was like something was surging out from a rotten swamp. They immediately reported the situation to the command central in hushed tones.
"There's a strange feeling at the scene. It's confirmed to be a patient with Alien Infant Disease."
"The dark energy is increasing. It appears to be resisting Carlop's technique."
The atmosphere in the command center suddenly became even more tense and solemn, but even the top gynecology team could not do anything at this time, nor could they do anything.
Gu Jun, who was at the Eastern State base, was also looking at the video from the delivery room. His heart was also in his throat. He knew more about the situation than anyone else.
The description of the Carlot Midwifery reward did not explain everything in detail, but it did mention that there was a possibility of resistance from the dark forces during the midwifery. At times like this, the medical staff needed to maintain the correct procedure and the mother had to summon up a strong will.
Even though these difficulties had been explained to the doctors and nurses during the training, they still had a hard time dealing with the dark energy.
But against the power of darkness, even the experienced members of the Heaven's Secret Incantation Division weren't certain of victory.
They were worried that the doctors on duty would panic. Doctor Chen Miaojuan had more than 10 years of clinical experience and her performance in the past day's training was outstanding. That was why the organization had given her this important task. However, if her mind was overwhelmed by the darkness, it would only be a matter of time before she went mad.
"Don't worry, maintain the rhythm …"
At the same time, Chen Miaojuan continued to use her words to stabilize the situation. She let the pregnant woman maintain the rhythm, and also let herself maintain the rhythm. Her left hand, which had a hand seal, gently pressed down on the occipital region of the fetal head. She gently pressed down, helping to expose the occipital region.
"Don't worry, use more force. Yes, just like that, it's going very smoothly …"
The pillow of the baby's head had not yet been revealed, and there was still some distance before the delivery. She was already sweating profusely.
An inexplicable anxiety rose in her heart, but she still had to complete every detail of the gesture. There was no difference in the procedure, but these intricate gestures that were easy to execute during practice were much more difficult now.
There were some chaotic thoughts that became a fleeting shadow in front of her eyes along with the gloom. Chen Miaojuan endured it and didn't think too much about it. She just recognized the strength.
She was a mother, so she understood the pain of 10 months of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth.
She also knew how comforted it would be to see a healthy baby grow into a cute and lively child …
She could not imagine how heartbroken it would be if she was the one who gave birth to a different baby.
No mother should have to endure that kind of heartbreak.
"Open your mouth and breathe!"
At that moment, the occipital area was finally exposed. However, the mother's contractions were too strong, so she needed to open her mouth and breathe to relieve the pressure.
Chen Miaojuan loudly commanded the patient. Fortunately, although the patient surnamed Li did not stop screaming in pain, she still managed to maintain her consciousness. She immediately responded by opening her mouth and exhaling. Chen Miaojuan continued, "Now hold your breath downwards, hold it, and then slowly exert force …" This was to make the fetal head come out slowly.
"Ah …" The mother managed to maintain her response. After a scream of pain, she held her breath.
This caused her husband, who stood beside the bed, to shiver from nervousness.
After the mother pushed, Chen Miaojuan and the nurses saw the baby's head slowly emerge. It was a blurry object that was soaked in amniotic fluid and mucus.
Suddenly, the mother screamed hoarsely. Zhang Haolin and the rest of the Phecda members could feel the darkness surging.
Gu Jun, who was watching the screen at Eastern State, seemed to hear the resentful cries of a black goat cub.
