Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law
Chapter 533: 23 Things About Women Giving Birth
If the baby cannot be born within four hours, there is only one possibility.
The pregnant woman or her family members request a natural birth.
Lu Yang asked Gong Pingan: “Why don’t you consider a caesarean section?”
The taciturn man shook his head.
Lu Yang understood and said to himself: “It seems that it was Sister Wei Shu’s own request.”
Although this sister-brother relationship was arranged by their parents, they actually have a very deep relationship. Gong Ping’an is a taciturn guy. During his years in the army, he was ruthless and decisive, but he was also a little obedient. He was cold to others, but he would not be cold to this good sister who had been engaged to him since childhood. In addition, sister Wei Shu has a strong personality. She has been managing the company for him in the past few years, and her aura seems more and more like a strong woman. I am afraid that all the big and small matters in their small family are decided by sister Wei Shu.
The two were walking towards the office of the director of the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department.
On the way, Lu Yang also learned some of the situation. Sister Wei Shu actually just slipped while taking a shower and did not fall seriously. At the last moment, she even used her hand to hold on to the bathtub next to her. However, she was definitely frightened. After all, she had been pregnant for more than 9 months and was less than half a month away from the due date.
When it just happened, she herself noticed obvious contractions in her stomach, and when she touched it, it was indeed sticky and there was slight spotting.
So she endured the pain, dialed 120, and then called her husband Gong Pingan in.
The ambulance arrived quickly, lifted her onto a stretcher, pushed her into the ambulance, and smoothly sent her to the hospital.
But something went wrong at this point.
After the doctor’s initial diagnosis, it was suspected that there was a mild placental abruption. Since the pregnant woman’s cervix was already two fingers dilated, it was recommended to observe and wait for a natural birth or to perform a caesarean section as soon as possible to avoid uterine wall detachment, which would affect fetal hypoxia, vaginal bleeding, and endanger the lives of mother and baby.
The above words are a bit too professional.
But in fact, it’s the same as saying nothing. When it comes to giving birth, there are only two choices: either a natural birth or a caesarean section.
And if the situation is really urgent, then there is no doubt that a caesarean section will be the right choice.
The problem now is that the doctor in this hospital was too ambiguous in his words after the examination.
It does not directly rule out the possibility of a natural birth.
Where is Sister Wei Shu?
She is now the general manager of a large company with assets of over 10 billion. For her, whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, the impact is more than just a cut on her belly.
You can get out of bed two or three days after a normal birth, and even if you have a normal confinement period, you can still choose to work from home.
If a caesarean section is performed, the bed rest time will be extended by at least half a month to a month. Even after the confinement period, it will be impossible to recover to a normal working state.
“So she asked for a natural birth, and you just agreed. Don’t you know that this could be dangerous?”
Lu Yang glanced at the man who was following him with his head down.
Gong Ping’an raised his head and glanced at Lu Yang.
Then he lowered his head again.
It was not until the two of them had reached the door of the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital that he said in a slightly hoarse voice: “I advised her, but she didn’t listen. She said she wanted to go back to work early and couldn’t take your salary for nothing. I asked you to let her keep the title of general manager for my sake. In fact, since December last year, Sister Shu has rarely appeared in the company.”
I knew it would be like this.
Lu Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly: “You two have a strong sense of responsibility. Isn’t it because of my kindness? I am also the godfather of your unborn child. If the child has an accident, or if both the mother and the child have an accident, where can I go to find a godson or goddaughter?”
It’s totally unclear!
I remember that it was December last year, when Sister Wei Shu had just been pregnant for one or two months. She had terrible early pregnancy reactions and even vomited when she drank water. She couldn’t work normally in the company at all. Lu Yang happened to have time to stay in Pengcheng at that time, so he simply approved a leave for her to go back and take good care of the baby.
Sister Wei Shu originally thought that after a month or two, the early pregnancy symptoms would disappear and she would be able to go back to work. However, she never imagined that such a healthy woman who regularly exercised would almost fail because of such a small matter as pregnancy and childbirth.
She vomited a lot during her early pregnancy. After resting at home for a while, her pregnancy symptoms were alleviated a little. However, just after she came back to work for one or two days, she had threatened miscarriage again.
She was hosting a very important company meeting at the time, but suddenly an embarrassing scene happened. When she stood up to adjourn the meeting, her face turned as pale as a piece of paper and she almost fainted in the meeting room. It was her secretary who reacted first, pointing at her pants on her thighs and trembling with fear, unable to speak.
The bloody show caused by threatened abortion has already seeped out.
She was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for a week. The doctor then told her that in her situation, she could only go home and lie down or choose to stay in the hospital to protect the fetus.
There is no other way, unless you don’t want the child anymore, you might as well abort it, otherwise it will be dangerous for both mother and baby.
The couple was in a difficult situation at the time and found Lu Yang. Faced with this situation, of course Lu Yang had to approve her leave, right?
But if Sister Wei Shu was just an ordinary middle or lower level manager of the company, it would be fine. The key is that she is the general manager of the company. Apart from Lu Yang, she is the most powerful person in the entire company. But Lu Yang is a person who likes to be a hands-off boss. Without Sister Wei Shu in charge of the company, the entire company has many things to deal with and it simply cannot function.
To put it bluntly, even if you need to sign important documents, you may not be able to find anyone.
Although she was very reluctant to give up the career she had worked hard for several years, for the sake of the child in her belly, in order to be able to rest at home and take care of the pregnancy, and in order not to delay Lu Yang, who valued her, Sister Wei Shu once submitted her resignation to Lu Yang.
She said she wanted to stay at home and have the baby, and asked Lu Yang to find a professional manager to take charge of the company for him.
After she gives birth to the child, she is still willing to come back to work, even if she has to be subordinate to this professional manager at that time. In order to repay the kindness of boss Lu Yang, she is willing to do so and promises that she will have no complaints and will try her best to cooperate with the other party in his work.
Lu Yang was touched by her words. But he still didn’t agree to her request. He even preferred to let her work from home with a big belly, rather than finding another professional manager to temporarily lead the company as requested by Wei Shujie.
Alas, the couple was so moved that they cried.
But in fact, Lu Yang also asked himself: This decision was not made out of sentimentality, but purely to find a professional manager, and he did not trust this professional manager.
Although Sister Wei Shu is pregnant, she is not as capable as before in handling company affairs, and sometimes there are delays due to various accidents, causing some unnecessary losses to the company. There is definitely an impact, but these are minor problems. With him, the reborn person, watching over her from behind, no matter what happens to the company, no major problems will arise.
But if a professional manager replaces Wei Shujie’s current position, Lu Yang may not only not feel any easier, but he may even have to spend more energy to keep an eye on this professional manager, guarding against the other party secretly doing tricks, embezzling company assets, or even emptying the entire company when Lu Yang is not in charge.
Comparing the two, which one is more serious?
There is no comparison, right? So this is why many big bosses like to appoint people based on personal connections. They would rather hire mediocre people, people they trust, as company executives than hire a smart but untrustworthy strongman to run their company, because a mediocre person can only make you earn less money, while a strongman who sabotages may destroy your entire company.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the boss must be very confident and absolutely sure that the path he sets for the company is correct.
As long as the helmsman doesn’t make mistakes, being a mere sailor on the ship doesn’t matter!
This is almost what Lu Yang thinks. He is a reborn person, but he does not think that one day he will need a professional manager to diagnose his pulse, diagnose the company, and plan the development direction for the company.
But from the perspective of Sister Wei Shu and Gong Pingan, they don’t think so. They just think that Lu Yang is too sentimental. Even in this situation, the boss would rather let her go back to work from home and serve as the general manager of the group company with a big belly, rather than replace her and find a professional manager to run the company for him.
It was this kindness that filled her heart with infinite gratitude and made her want to come back to work as soon as possible to repay him, Lu Yang. That is why at this critical moment of life and death, she insisted on having a natural birth and made such a foolish decision.
That’s right, in Lu Yang’s opinion, this decision was foolish, even stupid.
what?
The doctor said it was just a mild placental abruption.
Damn it, who cares whether it is mild or not, placental abruption is just placental abruption. There is a possibility that it may endanger the life of the fetus or even the mother. Since this possibility exists, why should we gamble on a natural birth that is not very certain?
So what if you win the bet?
But it will just reduce a scar on your stomach, and you can return to work a few days earlier.
But if you lose the bet, you might lose your child, your own young life, and Gong Pingan, you might lose your wife. You just let your wife do whatever she wants, right?
Lu Yang could understand why Sister Wei Shu would think this way, make this decision, and always ask for a natural birth. After all, Sister Wei Shu has always been a strong woman, and all strong women with strong careers are like this, treating their careers as their second life.
But you, Gong Ping’an, are a pig-brained person. You still listen to her at this time. Can’t you show your manliness and show your might that even Da Jun, who has a weak constitution like a bear, dare not say a word with just a glare? You have killed people and shot drug dealers, but you can’t even take care of your wife. Where is your shame?
Standing in front of the door of the obstetrics and gynecology department of this hospital, a hand knocked on the door. Lu Yang turned his head and said to Gong Pingan, “Stand up. You can tell me yourself when you go in. It’s your own wife who is lying there unable to have a child. If anything happens to her, it will be too late for you to regret it. Think carefully about whether you want to sign the consent form for the caesarean section.”
Gong Pingan nodded: “Yeah.”
He was still very frugal with his words, but finally got the correct answer. Now that Lu Yang had come, he seemed to have found his backbone.
Seeing his arrogant look, Lu Yang couldn’t help but patted his shoulder: “You’re making me look like Wei Shu’s husband. I’m almost a chatterbox. You, just say ‘hmm’, right?”
Gong Gongping’s lips moved.
Staring at Lu Yang: “…”
Although he didn’t say a word, Lu Yang took the initiative to avoid his eyes: Damn, this guy must have been a tiger in his previous life, his eyes are so scary.
To take advantage of the mouth.
Lu Yang laughed and patted his brother on the shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. It’s just a joke. Let’s go in together. Let’s ask if we can transfer to another hospital. If we can, that’s the best. We can go to a big hospital. If we can’t transfer, you should just ask them to prepare a caesarean section for our sister Wei Shu. Don’t delay. If we delay for a while, it will be more dangerous for both adults and children…”
Gong Pingan nodded silently.
I have to say, although the boss is talkative and likes to joke, he has a good heart.
Thinking about how everything had been going smoothly for the couple over the years since they followed Lu Yang, except for today’s close call, he felt relieved now that the boss was here, so he gave Lu Yang a look of slight gratitude.
“Please come in.”
The doctor’s voice came from inside the door.
Lu Yang gave Gong Ping’an an encouraging look, then punched him in the chest.
Fuck, it’s hard!!
Lu Yang retracted his fist and said, “You go in first. After all, a woman giving birth is a private matter. I won’t go in yet. If you can’t make up your mind, come and ask me.”
Gong Pingan nodded and walked in…
Only two or three minutes later, the boy came out and nodded slightly at Lu Yang.
Then a middle-aged woman in a white coat followed him out. Seeing that there was another family member of the pregnant woman waiting outside the door, she did not mind the trouble and said to Lu Yang: “The husband of the pregnant woman has just agreed to a caesarean section. I will arrange it immediately and I will perform the operation myself. You should also be a family member of the pregnant woman. You don’t look very old. Could you be the pregnant woman’s brother?
You should have come earlier and advised the pregnant woman and your brother-in-law earlier. The pregnant woman’s condition is not good. Although mild placental abruption does not necessarily require an emergency cesarean section immediately, this is based on the premise that the pregnant woman can give birth smoothly and quickly.
The current situation is that it has been delayed for so long, and the pregnant woman still cannot give birth. If it continues to be delayed, the placenta that has already undergone abruption is very likely to be completely detached from the uterine wall, which will cause vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and fetal hypoxia. In this case, if rescue is not timely, not only the fetus will be in danger, but also the pregnant woman herself will be in danger. At this time, if in order to save money, or to maintain beauty and restore the figure after surgery, it is undoubtedly gambling with the life of the pregnant woman, which is an extremely irresponsible behavior.
Fortunately, your brother-in-law was able to turn back from his wrong path. Otherwise, even if you, the bride’s relatives, did not come, we doctors would have to issue a diagnosis and then persuade your brother-in-law.”
The chief doctor, who looks to be in her 50s, is very talkative. It seems that she really misunderstood that Lu Yang is the girl’s biological brother. Otherwise, why did she always disagree with the caesarean section before the girl’s family came, but now that the girl’s family came, she immediately agreed?
Lu Yang glared at Gong Pingan, then said with a smile, “Yes, yes, yes, Director, you are right. My brother-in-law is really a bad man. He really lost his mind in order to make sure that my sister would not have a scar on her belly after giving birth. I will definitely criticize him. I will criticize him well later. Director, please take care. My sister will give birth safely, and the caesarean section later will all depend on you. You must be a gynecological expert, right?”
The 50-year-old lady in a white coat nodded with satisfaction: “I can’t say I’m a master, but I’ve been performing surgery for so many years, and there are dozens of babies born through caesarean sections under my supervision, if not a hundred, so you can rest assured.”
