As soon as Aunt Yu heard this, she walked over in three steps and two steps, touched Su Yan's belly, and checked other things.

Her face suddenly became serious, and she ordered: "Quick! Go to the back Find those midwives and tell them that the master is about to give birth!"

"Tongyun and Cuiyun, come here, help Master Su go to the delivery room first. Caiyun, please hurry up and report this to Master and Fujin."

The delivery room is in the wing of Bixu Courtyard, and it has been properly arranged early.

The sheets, bedding, cotton cloth, towels and other items that may be used are all scalded in boiling water according to Su Yan's requirements, and then dried in the sun at high temperature.

In this era, there is no concept of sterility. The probability of maternal dystocia is extremely high. There are not many people who lose their lives due to childbirth.

There are even many people who die because of inadequate postpartum care and leave behind the root of the disease.

Su Yan is not a doctor, nor does she know how to make homemade disinfectant, penicillin, etc., nor is she proficient in other disinfection methods.

She can only use the most stupid method of high-temperature disinfection.

I don't know if it was useful or not, but at least she felt comforted. After completing these preparations, her anxiety about giving birth was much less.

Su Yan was helped into the delivery room. The bedding inside had just been dried, and there was a nice smell of sunshine.

The four midwives arrived very quickly.

They first checked the condition of Su Yan's belly and found that the amniotic water had not broken, but was only slightly leaked, and the fetal position was in the right direction. All the midwives breathed a sigh of relief.

When they first arrived, some of them were worried. It was so unreasonable to deliver a baby to a noble person.

If the mother and child were safe, it would be fine, but if there was any problem, it was hard to say whether their lives could be saved.

After asking some more about the situation, the head midwife said comfortingly: "Master Su, don't panic, you are just starting to have labor pains now, and it's not time to give birth yet. Why don't you let a few slaves help you walk around, you will be pregnant during the birth. It will be smoother."

Su Yan nodded slightly. She also knew that the pain was just the beginning of labor. The pain in her stomach was coming in waves, but it was not unbearable. She probably wouldn't go into labor so soon. It didn't hurt to take a walk.

She thought of another thing: "Aunt Yu, the pain is much lighter now. I want to take a bath first! What do you think?"

Aunt Yu: "???"

Taishan collapsed in front of her and turned pale. There was an uncontrollable look of astonishment on Chang Chang's face.

She had seen many noble people give birth, and Master Su was the only one who had the time to bathe and change clothes before giving birth. I can't help but wonder, is it because she has too little experience? Or is this a rule down south?

It's rare to see Grandma Yu's face change. Normally, Su Yan would really make fun of her, but what she wants to do most right now is to take a bath and wash her hair.

The next month will be her confinement period. Woolen cloth.

After all, Aunt Yu was an old nanny who had seen big scenes. She quickly recovered from the shock and said, "Master Su, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. What if my little brother is going to give birth while you are taking a bath, or... There's something going on, isn't it..."
