Chapter 420 Getting Out of Bed After Childbirth
Yun Zheng moved her body gently and tentatively touched the ground with her feet.
On the second day after giving birth, she could already feel her body recovering rapidly.
The doctor said that she should get out of bed and move around as soon as possible after a normal birth to help her body recover, but when she actually stood up, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Slow down!" Fu Linghe immediately jumped up from the sofa in the ward, rushed to her side in two steps, and nervously held her arm with both hands. "Do you want to lie down for a while? The doctor said you can rest more."
Yun Zheng looked up at her husband's furrowed brow and couldn't help but chuckle, "The doctor told me to move around more, not rest more."
She patted the back of Fu Linghe's hand gently. "I'm fine, really."
Fu Linghe's brows did not relax at all. He supported Yun Zheng carefully, as if she was a fragile glass product.
"Then at least let me help you walk, okay? Don't be too hasty when getting out of bed for the first time."
Yun Zheng shook her head helplessly, but did not reject her husband's kindness.
She slowly straightened up, feeling the changes in her body.
Although I am still a little weak, I am much better than yesterday.
When she took the first step, Fu Linghe's arms immediately tightened, ready to catch any discomfort she might experience.
"Look, I'm fine." Yun Zheng took a few steps and turned to her husband with a reassuring smile. "It's much easier than I thought."
Fu Linghe's eyes never left his wife's face, observing every subtle change in her expression.
"Tell me immediately if you feel any discomfort and we'll go back to bed."
"I understand, my Mr. Fu." Yun Zheng winked mischievously and continued to pace slowly in the ward.
The sunlight from outside the window shines through the gauze curtains, adding a bit of warmth to this small space.
After walking for a while, Yun Zheng stopped and looked towards the ward door. "I want to go see the babies again."
Fu Linghe's expression immediately became complicated, with worry and understanding intertwined in his eyes. "Haven't we been there today?"
"I know the visiting hours," Yun Zheng interrupted, a maternal glint in her eyes, "but I just want to see them. Even if it's just through the window."
Fu Linghe looked at his wife's stubborn expression and finally gave in.
He sighed softly. "Okay, but only for ten minutes, and you have to go in a wheelchair."
"Wheelchair?" Yun Zheng's eyes widened. "I just gave birth to a child, not a broken leg!"
"Hospital regulations require that patients must use a wheelchair if they leave the ward within 48 hours after giving birth."
Fu Linghe quoted the hospital regulations seriously, but a smile was hidden in his eyes. "Unless you want me to call the doctor to confirm now?"
Yun Zheng curled her lips, knowing that Fu Linghe was concerned about her. "Okay, a wheelchair is a wheelchair."
Fu Linghe immediately called a nurse to push a wheelchair over, and personally checked the safety of the wheelchair before carefully helping Yun Zheng sit down.
When he bent down to fasten her seat belt, Yun Zheng couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his hair.
"You're becoming more and more like an old woman."
Fu Linghe looked up, pretending to be serious. "You said it, and when we get home I'll nag you every day. Let's see if you still dare to dislike me."
The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with sweetness.
When the two of them arrived outside the neonatal department, Fu Linghe helped Yun Zheng adjust the position of her wheelchair so that she could clearly see the incubator inside through the large glass window.
Two small figures were lying in two adjacent incubators, connected to various monitoring devices.
"They look even more rosy today." Yun Zheng pressed her hands against the glass, staring at the babies inside without blinking. "Their skin was a little red yesterday, but now it's really whiter."
Fu Linghe stood behind her, his hands gently resting on her shoulders.
"The nurse said they can now drink 15ml of milk per meal, which is 3ml more than yesterday."
Tears glistened in Yun Zheng's eyes. "They are awesome!"
She pointed to the baby in the incubator on her left, "Look, Yi seems to be yawning!"
Indeed, little Fu Yunyi opened his pink little mouth, yawned cutely, and then continued to fall into a deep sleep.
Little Yunshu on the right moved his hands restlessly, as if trying to show his presence in his dream.
"I want to hug them." Yun Zheng's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but filled with strong longing.
Fu Linghe bent down and whispered in her ear, "It will be soon."
He paused. "Based on the current progress, it will take at most another week."
Yun Zheng nodded, but couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Fu Linghe saw this and suddenly stood up and walked towards the nurses' station.
Yun Zheng looked at him in confusion as he talked to the nurse for a few words. Then the nurse nodded and walked into the neonatal department.
A few minutes later, the nurse came out holding a small blanket.
Fu Linghe took the blanket and walked towards Yun Zheng carefully.
"Although I can't hold her, I can take a closer look." He tilted the blanket slightly so that Yun Zheng could see the little Yun Shu sleeping soundly inside.
Yun Zheng's breathing stopped instantly.
At such a close distance, she could clearly see each of her daughter's eyelashes, her pink little face, and her little chest rising and falling with her breathing.
A strong desire to protect and love surged in her heart, and her tears finally fell uncontrollably.
"She...she is so perfect." Yun Zheng stretched out her hand tremblingly and gently touched the edge of the quilt, fearing that she would disturb the sleeping baby.
Fu Linghe's eyes also turned red. "Like you."
The nurse smiled and reminded, "It's almost time, baby, go back to the incubator."
Fu Linghe nodded and reluctantly handed his daughter back to the nurse.
Watching the little figure being carried back to the incubator, Yun Zheng wiped her tears and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, my brother said he would come to see the baby today, why hasn't he come yet?"
As he was speaking, the elevator door opened and Mo Shian came out carrying a lot of bags, followed by Mo Chenfeng and Old Man Mo.
"Zheng Zheng!" Mo Shi'an spotted his sister and walked over quickly. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting in bed?"
Yun Zheng smiled and pointed at Fu Linghe, "Your good brother-in-law allowed me to go out for some fresh air."
Mo Shi'an turned to Fu Linghe, and the two exchanged a look of understanding between men.
Then Mo Shian squatted down and took out a thermos from the bag. "My mom made chicken soup. She said it replenishes qi and blood. Drink it while it's hot."
Yun Zheng took the insulated box and opened the lid. A rich aroma immediately filled the air. "It smells so good! Thank Mom for me."
Old Man Mo walked to the window on crutches and looked at his great-grandchildren inside with loving eyes. "The two little guys look better today."
Mo Chenfeng stood beside his father, his eyes showing a rare gentleness. "Indeed, he seems stronger than he did yesterday."
