Chapter 112: A beastman gives birth to a baby. Is he born a human or a beast?
The animal world has begun to enter autumn.
There are only a few days left until the lion and tiger competition.
Artis is fully prepared for the competition. In addition to intensive training, he is more cautious and rigorous about the upcoming competition.
He was discussing with Xiaomo and the guards how to deal with any accidents that might occur during the competition.
"Artis, Artis," Cole ran over breathlessly, his face full of pain, "Mina seems to be giving birth, but she hasn't been able to do so. You should go and see her."
Xiaomo was shocked.
I wonder if Mina is having a difficult delivery.
Artis immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either," Cole said with a sad face, "She said she had a stomachache last night, and asked several experienced aunts from the Lion Clan to help her give birth, but she hasn't given birth yet, and her body is full of water and blood..."
"I'll go back now." After saying this, Attis immediately changed into beast form.
"Artis, I'll go with you." Xiaomo said, "Maybe I can help."
"Well, okay." Artis nodded.
Su Xiaomo sat on Artis's back, and the three of them immediately rushed to Mina's residence.
Xiaomo was worried.
If anything goes wrong with Mina, it will definitely affect Atis's game.
But she was just a nurse, had never delivered a baby, and didn't know what Mina's current condition was.
According to Cole, Menaka's water must have broken.
It is very dangerous that the baby cannot be born and there is no amniotic fluid.
"Artis, hurry up," Su Xiaomo said, "Mina's condition is very critical, we must get there as soon as possible."
Atis quickened his pace and they rushed to Mena's residence.
Before I even entered the door, I heard Mina's heart-wrenching cry.
"It hurts! It hurts!" Mina lay on the bed, her body twisted in pain.
Artis hurried forward and held Mena's hand.
Su Xiaomo squeezed in between several old female lions, but everything she saw still scared her.
Mina's body was soaked with amniotic fluid and blood.
"Brother Artis, I'm going to die." Mina's beautiful face was distorted with pain. "It hurts so much, I can't stand it."
"Mina, don't say that," Artis said, "You will be fine."
Su Xiaomo immediately washed her hands with hot water.
Use animal hide to wipe away all the amniotic fluid and blood.
After lifting the animal skin, Mina's belly was found to be very big and her uterine contractions could be clearly seen, but the baby did not come out.
"Artis, you go out first," Su Xiaomo said, "Mina is having a difficult delivery and needs an assistive delivery."
"Okay." Artis and Cole immediately went outside to wait.
"Xiaomo, save me," Mina raised her head slightly and looked at Su Xiaomo in front of her desperately, "I am in so much pain."
Su Xiaomo shook Mina's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mina, I will do my best to help you."
Giving birth is truly a matter of life and death for a woman.
Even a female animal as tall as Mina can suffer from difficult labor.
Xiaomo has never worked as a midwife, but she learned a little about it in textbooks.
There is no other way but to bite the bullet.
It seems that Mina's uterine contractions are fine, and it is not a dystocia caused by uterine atony.
It should be that the first baby’s fetal position was abnormal, which led to difficult labor.
Based on Mina's skeleton, her pelvis was suitable for a normal birth. We could only reach in and turn the first baby's position, following the direction of the soft birth canal, to allow her to give birth smoothly.
"Auntie," Xiaomo said to a female beast beside her, "I will help Mina with the birthing in a while. Please, when I say add abdominal pressure, please help me press down on Mina's belly."
"Okay, okay." Several old maids were already sweating profusely from anxiety. Seeing that Su Xiaomo was still calm, they immediately agreed.
"Mina, bear with it for a while," Xiaomo said, "it may be a little painful."
Mina nodded.
As long as it can save her and her baby's life, she can endure anything.
Su Xiaomo appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually still nervous.
Mina is a lion, I wonder if the baby she gave birth to will be in human or animal form?
If the baby is born as a lion, the lion's head is relatively large, and she really doesn't know how to turn the baby's position.
Su Xiaomo washed her hands with hot water again.
She gently put her hand in.
I touched a slippery fetus.
Sure enough, the fetus was in an abnormal position.
Fortunately, it is not in a horizontal position yet, so it is getting better.
Su Xiaomo was a novice and could only correct the fetus' position based on her vague memory and the little knowledge she had learned from textbooks.
She touched the fetus's face and it was smooth.
It is a fetus in human form.
Su Xiaomo felt somewhat delighted.
It seems that when beastmen give birth, their children are born in human form.
That way, she doesn't have to think about the veterinarian's stuff.
Just deliver the baby as a woman would give birth.
"Mina, the baby's position has turned right," Su Xiaomo said, "You still have to push, as if you were going to poop."
Mina nodded, endured the pain, held her breath, and pushed hard.
"Aunt, please increase abdominal pressure and push down from the belly." Su Xiaomo instructed the old nanny beside her.
"Ok."
Su Xiaomo also instructed another nanny to prepare clothes, hot water, and disinfect the stone knife with fire in preparation for cutting the umbilical cord.
She put protection under Mina to prevent tearing.
If it really tore, she wouldn't be able to sew it.
All the needles and thread for sewing have been used up.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of struggle, the first cub was born.
Maybe it was stuck for too long, the baby's face was blue and purple when he was born, and he didn't cry.
Su Xiaomo immediately held the baby in her arms and began to rescue him.
She was very familiar with the rescue skills.
This is not a problem for her.
Remove the amniotic fluid, perform cardiac compressions, blow air into the baby, pat the back, and tap the soles of the baby's feet.
A few minutes later, the first baby started crying loudly.
It's a cute male animal, a baby boy.
All the maids breathed a sigh of relief.
Cole and Artis outside the room were even more excited and wanted to rush in immediately.
"Your Highness Cole, King Attis," the nanny hurriedly stopped them, "Xiaomo has told us not to let the male beasts in, there are too many scenes and too much blood."
Cole and Artis could only continue to guard outside.
After the first baby was born, Xiaomo felt a little relieved.
"Mina, keep going. Start pushing when your stomach hurts," Su Xiaomo encouraged Mina. "The rest will be easier to deliver."
Mina seemed to have gained confidence, and she began to exert force as her uterus contracted.
The second baby was born soon after.
It's a little female beast.
But the contractions haven't stopped yet and Mina's belly is still very big.
Su Xiaomo touched Mina's belly.
She estimated that Mina could give birth to at least five children this time.
When Mina had no strength left, Xiaomo and the other maids pressed Mina's belly and applied abdominal pressure to help her give birth.
We were busy until the afternoon, and the eighth baby was born safely.
During this period, Su Xiaomo had already instructed Cole and Artis to prepare animal livers, crucian carp, pig's trotters, etc. to provide Mina with more nutrition and replenish her physical strength.
The delivery lasted nearly a day, and Menaka gave birth to eight babies.
Four males and four females.
They all look very cute.
