Chapter 386 Postpartum Depression

When Ji Tiantian heard the words "postpartum depression", her face turned pale.

Lan Yu paused for a moment, then asked:

"Does my brother and my parents know that you are not in a good mood? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Ji Tiantian held Lan Yu down and said, "Don't blame them. They are already very busy taking care of the baby every day. I don't want to cause them any more trouble."

"Especially your brother, I don't want him to worry about me anymore."

Lan Yu was angry. "You are a doctor yourself, don't you know how terrible this disease is?"

Ji Tiantian's eyes dimmed, "It's because I know how terrible it is that I don't want them to know. I will find a way to adjust it."

"Can you adjust yourself?" Lan Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice couldn't help but rise.

"For so many years, haven't you been trying to adjust to the harm your family of origin has done to you?"

"But even though you have severed ties with your parents, your mood is still affected by them."

"This proves that your self-regulation is ineffective, and you should have realized this earlier."

"Now you have postpartum depression. These two things combined will destroy you!"

"Yuyu, what did you say?" Lu Chengfeng walked over quickly holding his son and mother Bai Xiuhe.

He looked at his wife Ji Tiantian and asked worriedly, "Are you suffering from postpartum depression?"

Bai Xiuhe's face also turned pale. "Tiantian, why didn't you tell us such a serious matter?"

Ji Tiantian lowered her head, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lan Yu was both angry and distressed, and replied to his mother: "Mom, don't worry. My sister-in-law hid it from you just because she was afraid of causing trouble to everyone and making you worry. If you blame her, she will feel even worse."

Bai Xiuhe was stunned for a moment, walked to Ji Tiantian and sat down, took her daughter-in-law's hand, and said distressedly:

"You silly child, why are you afraid of causing trouble to everyone? We never think you are a trouble. You are a member of our family. You worked so hard to give birth to Yunqi. We feel sorry for you so much."

A line of hot tears rolled down from the corners of Ji Tiantian's eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng's heart was in a knot.

Lan Yu gave his brother a look, stood up and took the baby from his hands.

Signaled to his brother to go and comfort Ji Tiantian.

Lu Chengfeng understood and sat down on the other side of his wife.

He put his arm around Ji Tiantian's shoulders and said, "We are a family, we should trust each other, and I am your husband, I hope I can be your support."

"If you are willing to trust me and rely on me, it will be a very happy thing for me, especially when it comes to something like being sick. I hope you can tell me the truth and let me face it with you."

"Yes," Bai Xiuhe took over, "Tiantian, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you and Chengfeng already have a child, and they are going to spend the rest of their lives together. The child may leave you when he grows up, but he won't."

"Even if you don't tell me, you should tell him. No matter what it is, good or bad, you can tell him and let him face it with you. If there are difficulties, we will solve them together."

Lan Yu agreed, "Yes, if there are difficulties, we should solve them, and if there are illnesses, we should get treatment. Brother, you should go to the hospital with Tiantian tomorrow and let the doctor give her a comprehensive examination. If there are any problems, we should deal with them as soon as possible."

Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow... Mom, I'll leave Yunqi to you and Sister Mei."

Bai Xiuhe waved her hand and said, "You guys go about your business. Don't worry, Yunqi. With mom and Sister Mei, are you afraid that they can't take care of a child? I'll ask people later and find a reliable nanny."

"This way, Chengfeng, you can spend more time with Tiantian. You should focus on your wife's affairs and leave the child to us to take care of."

Ji Tiantian shed even more tears.

She squeezed out a word with a hoarse and choked voice: "Mom, thank you."

Bai Xiuhe: "What are you thanking me for? If you keep saying that, it will be too distant and you won't treat us as a family."

Lu Chengfeng winked at his mother.

Bai Xiuhe understood and stood up and said, "Yuyu and I will take Yunqi to sleep. Chengfeng, you stay with your wife."

Lan Yu looked at Ji Tiantian worriedly, then carried the baby and followed his mother.

When they got to the baby's room, Bai Xiuhe asked her to put the baby in the crib and said while coaxing the child:

"Thanks to you for coming here and discovering it today, otherwise none of us would have noticed that Tiantian was sick. It's all our fault for being too careless. We were only paying attention to Yunqi and didn't notice that Tiantian was feeling unwell."

"Mom, you don't have to blame yourself," Lan Yu comforted her mother, "Depression is difficult to detect. Many people with depression appear cheerful in front of others, so others can't see it."

"The more groups like this there are, the more they will hide themselves. Only when they are alone can they show their true selves. So you should be careful in the future and try not to leave her alone."

"Also, put away some dangerous things in the house, such as knives, and don't leave them around. Let's see the results of the examination tomorrow. If Tiantian needs to take medication, let her stop breastfeeding."

"The current milk powder is not bad, it's okay to drink it."

Bai Xiuhe nodded, "Okay, I understand. When you have time, please send me more information on this subject. I will also study it when I am free."

Lan Yu: "Okay, I'll go back and look for it. Patients with depression are very sensitive, especially those with postpartum depression. They may be sad because of the baby's crying or a word from their family."

"You have to be careful in the future. Try not to bother Tiantian when the baby is crying. Find a way to coax the child yourselves. After Tiantian finishes her maternity leave, let her go back to work at the Aviation and Health Center."

"Going to work is also a way of adjusting."

Bai Xiuhe: "She said she hasn't decided yet whether to go back to the Aviation Health Center or the emergency department of Shengde."

Lan Yu: "In her condition, it is not suitable for her to go back to work in the hospital, especially the emergency department, which is very busy and tiring. The key is that many patients or their families are unreasonable, and she can't bear it anymore."

"Although the work at the Aviation Health Center is also busy, we are dealing with flight attendants, whose overall quality is still high. Moreover, the flight attendants are very polite to the flight doctors, and no one dares to offend them."

Bai Xiuhe: "I originally wanted her to take over my beauty salon, but the clients there are also some demanding ones, so I'd better let her go back to do the job she is familiar with."

Lan Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "Let's wait and see in two months. If I can get away from here, I'll go back to work at the Aviation and Satellite Center. We'll work together, and I can often counsel her."

Bai Xiuhe: "I think you should give up. What about your three children? If you want to go back, you have to wait until they go to kindergarten."

Lan Yu: "The three of them are easy to take care of and they don't make trouble."

Bai Xiuhe: "That's right, Yunqi is easy to take care of. He doesn't make any noise. He just wakes up once at night to drink milk and then falls asleep."

Bai Xiuhe turned the topic to parenting and asked Lan Yu for some advice on parenting methods used by young people.

In the living room, Ji Tiantian finally stopped crying.
