Su Tiantian was really crying at this moment.
"Brother Jing, Qiaoyi laughed at me and said that she was 38 weeks + 6 days old and still not hospitalized, but I was hospitalized before 32 weeks. It's so annoying." Su Tiantian held up the phone to show Liu Jingze.
Liu Jingze said helplessly, "Tiantian, you were the first to laugh at others for not having a belly as big as yours. You two good friends really can talk about anything. Qiaoyi is probably worried about you having a premature birth."
Su Tiantian said, "Director Wu from the Municipal People's Hospital examined me this afternoon and said there's nothing serious wrong with me. I'll be under observation for three days and discharged the day after tomorrow. He also said I can go back to work, but I shouldn't overwork or do any heavy work. I don't think I'll have a premature birth, right?"
Li Yunling and Liu Jingze both wanted to stay in the hospital to accompany Su Tiantian, so they both stayed. It was dinner time and they were waiting for food to be brought to them.
Li Yunling heard their conversation and said, "Sister, don't worry too much. Twins are not necessarily born prematurely. The doctor said your test results are good."
At this time, Su Tiantian shook Liu Jingze's arm in surprise: "Brother Jing, Brother Jing, Qiaoyi has a stomachache and is going to the hospital now. We are really sisters, no, it must be fate that we are hospitalized on the same day."
Liu Jingze said, "They live not far from the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital, so there's no need to worry too much. We'll ask them about their situation later. They're probably very anxious right now."
Su Tiantian nodded: "Brother Jing, you are right. Fortunately, Qiaoyi applied for maternity leave in advance, so we don't have to rush around now. I also told Yiyi that I will take maternity leave at any time. After I am discharged from the hospital, I will hand over the financial seal and some important documents to him."
Liu Jingze said, "You're ready to take maternity leave at any time. I didn't tell anyone about your hospitalization except your father-in-law's family and your godfather. Did you only tell He Yiyuan and Qiaoyi?"
Su Tiantian said while checking her phone, "I've also talked about it in the pregnant women's group. Some people said that in my case, there's no need to be hospitalized and it's a waste of money. Others said that it's safer to be hospitalized and that the twins should stay in the womb for a few more days."
Li Yunling said: "If it were me, I would definitely stay in the hospital to protect the fetus. I can save money on other things, but not on this little bit. And you don't need this little bit of money."
Liu Jingze held Su Tiantian's hand, rubbed her wrist with his fingertips twice and said, "Yes, this little money can't be saved. Tiantian, stop looking at your phone. Get up and walk around. I'll walk around the obstetrics and gynecology department with you."
Su Tiantian said, "Okay, the babies probably want me to get up and walk around, so they're moving around again. I checked their fetal heart rates today, and the doctor said they're very active. I'll count them after dinner."
Su Tiantian never thought that she would encounter such a thing while taking a walk in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
In the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology ward, chaos and noise intertwined into a heartbreaking scene. A woman in labor, her face as pale as paper and her hair maturing and sticking to her sweaty forehead, lay weakly on the hospital bed.
Her eyes were red and swollen, tears kept rolling down like beads with broken strings, and a weak and miserable sob came from her throat: "Please, don't let me leave the hospital, my wound hurts, I'm suffering..."
A baby was lying next to the woman in labor. His little face was flushed red and he was crying loudly with his mouth open. His cry was sharp and helpless, as if it was a protest against the chaotic situation. He cried so miserably and no one comforted him.
There were quite a few people around the woman in labor, including doctors, nurses, people who looked like family members, and other pregnant women and their families, forming a circle around her.
Seeing this, Liu Jingze hugged Su Tiantian's waist, not wanting to get close to that side. Li Yunling said, "Maybe something happened. Let's stand further away."
Su Tiantian agreed: "Yes, stand further away." She took Liu Jingze's arm and took a few steps back. Even when watching the excitement, one must pay attention to safety. Su Tiantian is more cautious in this regard.
A tall man in tattered overalls, his hair disheveled, stood by the bed, his face etched with anxiety. He waved his arms and shouted, "No need to say more. I need to be discharged today. I can't afford to stay any longer! She was admitted yesterday and everyone else could have had a natural birth, but she insisted on a C-section. It cost over 5,000 yuan. With no social security, how can we afford the medical bills? The 2,000 yuan deposit has already been used up."
His eyes were bloodshot, his voice was hoarse, and he completely ignored the condition of the mother and child.
An elderly woman followed beside him, wearing an old-fashioned dark purple cotton jacket with frayed cuffs and collar, black wide-leg cotton trousers, and a pair of black cotton shoes with simple floral patterns.
She cried loudly: "How much money will this cost? It's the same if I go home to take care of the baby! Why can other people's daughters-in-law give birth naturally, but mine can't? I spend more money than others. It's really shameful." This person should be the mother-in-law of the woman in labor.
These words were spoken very loudly, and even though Su Tiantian was standing a little far away, she could hear them clearly. Her heart sank and she felt sad. Oh my God, she couldn't even afford the medical expenses of several thousand yuan, so how could she raise the child in the future?
A middle-aged female doctor, dressed in a neat white coat, frowned, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She approached the husband of the woman in labor and spoke urgently and sincerely, "Sir, after a cesarean section, the mother's body needs time to recover. Discharge so early may cause serious problems like wound infection. The child also needs professional care and observation in the hospital. This is related to their life and health. It is not appropriate to discharge them at this time!"
Another female doctor, with a serious expression and a determined gaze, looked directly at the husband of the mother and raised her voice, saying, "You can't just focus on the immediate expenses. The future of the mother and child is the most important thing. If you are discharged now, if complications arise, the cost of subsequent treatment will be even higher, and the damage to the mother and child will be irreversible!"
The woman's husband continued waving his arms, his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Get out of the way. I say discharge, and so on. I'm her husband, and I have the final say. Do you think the hospital will waive the medical expenses if she stays in the hospital?"
The woman's mother-in-law screamed, "Your hospital will do anything to make money. We didn't even need to come to the hospital to give birth before. You're the one who said you couldn't have a natural birth. I've given birth to several children easily."
The middle-aged head nurse had a kind face but a firm attitude: "Calm down, this is not about money, it's about the mother's health. After the cesarean section, the mother must be hospitalized for at least a few days for observation. If she is discharged so early, the wound will easily become infected, and the consequences will be disastrous!"
The woman's husband finally stopped waving his arms. He said in an unquestionable tone, "None of your business, I don't have any money anyway, and I want to take my wife out of the hospital. Anyone who tries to stop me will be a problem with me."
A young nurse followed the head nurse, her eyes filled with fear. Her lips trembled slightly, as if frightened by the intense scene. Her eyes remained fixed on the mother and child, full of sympathy.
Su Tiantian thought to herself, people in the pregnant women's group said that obstetrics and gynecology is a place that tests human nature. She didn't expect it to be true. The man only cared about money and didn't care about the mother's health at all. It's winter now. If she is discharged from the hospital like this, she will probably be cold at home, not to mention taking care of the wound.
