How does a midwife deliver a baby? Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what?

Ancient Chinese medicine attached great importance to obstetrics and gynecology, and indeed summarized many effective methods in childbirth. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many monographs on obstetrics, such as Prescriptions for Women and Infants, Zhang Zhongjing's Prescriptions for Treating Women, Significance of Childbearing, Yaoyao of Tang Dynasty, Fu Shan Gynecology and Postpartum Compilation, etc. In the Qing Dynasty, a famous maternity book, Sheng Da Pian, appeared. The delivery method summarized in this popular book has been widely used among the people. ?

In the traditional delivery process, in order to ensure a smooth delivery, the usual method is to let pregnant women take various "abortion drugs" in the tenth month, such as Danshen Ointment, Licorice Powder, Baosheng Pill and Sheng Da Decoction. In view of childbirth, "Sheng Da Pian" summed up the six key words of "Sleep, Endure and Slow". For dystocia, some obstetrical monographs put forward specific solutions, including shoulder-to-shoulder delivery of fetal transfer, umbilical cord around the neck, etc., similar to the later western medicine solutions. There is also a "pregnancy-promoting pill" to avoid brain medication, which is similar to the idea of western medicine injecting oxytocin. Acupuncture, a unique treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, has also been applied to obstetrics. As for folk circulation, there are many ways to promote fertility and production. ?

The mortality rate of pregnant women and babies in the old days was five times that of modern childbirth. The reason why this phenomenon occurs is mainly because the old midwifery theory is summarized on the basis of practice and lacks scientificity. The biggest defect of the old delivery mode is the lack of necessary understanding and basic disinfection methods, which often causes puerperal fever and other diseases. Especially in dystocia, there is no corresponding technology, some use the old method to pull hard, even use hooks, and some invite immortals to use witchcraft, resulting in a large number of maternal and infant deaths.
