"Inhale, exhale, force" "You're great, rest first" "The baby is coming out" ...... On January 28, Chinese New Year's Eve, the obstetrics and childbirth center of Chongqing Maternal and Child Health Hospital (Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Intensive Medical Hospital) was still busy, and the voice of 35-year-old midwife Hong Xiao came from the delivery room, gentle and firm. On that day, she was on duty in childbirth and participated in the entire production process of natural childbirth.

When the reporter saw Hong Xiao in the delivery room, it was more than 10 o'clock in the morning, and the mother who had just given birth to her second baby was lying on the delivery bed with a tired face, and Hong Xiao was concentrating on stitching up the perineal laceration for her. The threads in her hands are thin, and her movements are also thin, reducing the laceration tissue little by little. The woman's husband is checking the baby's condition with another midwife, and everyone is immersed in the joy of welcoming the baby.
"Doctor, am I severely wounded?" The mother asked, a little worried.
"Obediently, don't worry, you cooperated very well just now, only the abrasions on the epidermis." Seeing that the mother was worried, Hong Xiao explained.
After the suturing was completed, Hong Xiao encouraged the mother while helping the mother clean the perineum.

Subsequently, the mother and child were transferred from the delivery room to the postpartum observation room, Hong Xiao changed out of the isolation gown and cleaned it up, and then came to the mother's bedside to do postpartum education: "Feel okay? Let the child suck more and promote the secretion of milk......"
It wasn't until 11:30 that Hong Xiao sat down, her voice was a little tired at this time, "In the process of maternal delivery, we are their closest partners, not only to pay attention to the child's situation in the mother's womb at any time, but also to observe the progress of labor, tell the mother what to do, especially when the mother feels anxious, not only to comfort, enlighten, encourage them, but also to give professional support and care according to the individual situation of the mother." Hong Xiao said that this requires a high degree of concentration and effective communication with the mother, "If the labor lasts for a few hours, then I have to talk for a few hours." ”
"Another pregnant woman has opened her uterus to 5 centimeters!" Hong Xiao, who had just rested for two or three minutes, entered the delivery room again in three steps and two steps, and it turned out that suddenly there were three pregnant women who opened their uterine openings at the same time, and Hong Xiao, who was supposed to be on duty, had to "come to the stage" again. "The delivery room needs to respond to emergencies, so midwives have to be on call at all times." After speaking, Hong Xiao entered the delivery room again.
This time it was a first-time mother, and the contractions made her painful and nervous. "Don't be nervous, we will cooperate well later, believe in yourself, and the child will be born safely." Hong Xiao reassured while assessing the mother's condition.
"Don't use so much force at once, it will tear, you listen to my command, and slowly exert force!" Although Hong Xiao repeatedly emphasized, the pain still made the woman panic and wanted to give birth to the child as soon as possible.
Hong Xiao could only raise her voice and ask the mother to slowly exert herself according to her rhythm, "The family members also helped, let her slow down." Hong Xiao did not forget to let the husbands of the mothers join in to help the mothers give birth.
It wasn't until after 1 o'clock that the woman who Hong Xiao "took over" gave birth smoothly, because she had been standing, Hong Xiao's back was sore, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the head nurse, Wei Linna, asked the medical staff on duty to bring a dish to the hospital, and everyone had a lively reunion dinner, and Hong Xiao brought her own fried crispy meat. At 12 noon, several people, including Hong Xiao, were busy in the delivery room, and everyone had to "relay" to eat. When Hong Xiao ate, although the food was slightly cold, she said with a smile: "I just heard the most beautiful voice in the world - the cry of a newborn, even if I am tired, this moment is worth it." ”
