Chapter 381 Risks of Premature Birth
"Bang..." The sound of the delivery room door opening and closing startled a group of people outside the neonatal intensive care unit.
Seeing the doctor in a white coat coming out, several people hurried to greet him.
"Doctor Wang, is my daughter okay?" Liu Qiyu frowned and rushed to the front.
"She's a little tired and has fallen asleep. You family members should take good care of her in the next few days. Give her something light and easily digestible to eat first, such as millet porridge, vegetable porridge, noodles, lotus root powder, etc., but don't eat anything too greasy." Doctor Wang said softly.
"How can I produce milk if I eat such a light diet?" Liu Qiyu was worried.
"Speaking of milk, Comrade Lu Xingqing is giving birth prematurely, so her milk supply will probably be delayed. You'd better prepare some milk powder for the baby now, so you don't have to be at a loss later." Doctor Wang sighed.
It was the first time she saw a pregnant woman with such severe pregnancy reactions.
Other pregnant women only had pregnancy symptoms for one or two months, but Lu Xingqing was different. She had pregnancy reactions from the early stages of pregnancy until she gave birth.
She, who was pregnant with a single baby, had a harder time than her family member who was pregnant with twins.
"Doctor Wang, you said to give her something light to eat first. So when can we give her chicken soup or fish soup?" Liu Qiyu felt sorry for her daughter.
When I was pregnant, I couldn’t eat much, and after I finally gave birth, I had to eat light food again.
When she gave birth to her daughter, she drank soup and ate meat right after the birth, and she didn't seem to have any problems.
"After a week, you can slowly add some semi-liquid food to her diet, such as egg custard and wontons, but she should eat in small amounts. Lu Xingqing hasn't eaten meat for a long time. If she eats too much at once, it may easily cause indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort." Doctor Wang reminded.
"You mean, my daughter still can't drink chicken soup after a week?" Liu Qiyu frowned, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"She is very weak now, so she needs to take her tonic slowly." Doctor Wang explained patiently.
She knew that she felt sorry for her daughter's weakness after giving birth, but no matter how sorry she was, she had to consider the specific situation.
"You have seen the child's condition. According to her current weight of 15.5 jin, the best case scenario is that she will have to stay in the incubator for a full month..." Doctor Wang hesitated whether to tell him the worst case scenario.
"You mean there's something bad going on?" He Yi's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"The normal gestational period is 37 weeks. Delivery between 28 and 37 weeks is considered premature. Although it is generally called premature birth, there are differences in premature births. The survival rate of fetuses delivered after 34 weeks of gestation is much higher than that of fetuses delivered before 34 weeks of gestation. Comrade Lu Xingqing's gestational period was only 32 weeks..." Doctor Wang did not want to bring bad luck to others at this time, so he just mentioned it to the point.
The Lu family's expressions changed.
Liu Qiyu's face turned several shades paler in an instant.
Everyone just thought that since the child was small, they would be fine after taking good care of him. But unexpectedly...
"Doctor Wang, thank you for taking care of the child." The old man sighed.
"We will definitely do our best to take care of the child." This is all Dr. Wang could say.
after all……
The child's condition was there, and even if Hua Tuo came, he wouldn't dare to make this guarantee.
The Lu family naturally understood the hidden meaning of Dr. Wang's words.
Liu Qiyu's nose felt inexplicably sore.
My daughter has suffered so much...
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu, Comrade Jian Qingyi's pregnancy check-up should be done earlier. It would be best if she comes for a pregnancy check-up every week in the future." Doctor Wang suddenly remembered this.
"Okay, we'll accompany her here tomorrow." The old man nodded in agreement.
"Comrade Jian Qingyi, how is your appetite recently? Is it getting better?" asked Doctor Wang.
"It's not just better, it's much better. She used to eat half a bowl of rice in one meal, but now she has to have another half bowl after finishing a bowl. She used to eat one chicken leg in one meal, but now she eats two. She used to be able to eat half a squab, but now she can eat one at a time..." Speaking of his granddaughter-in-law, the old man suddenly became talkative.
Lu Yaozong: “…”
The old man observed carefully.
old lady:"……"
You usually pretend to be indifferent, but now you're exposed!
The Lu family: "..."
Not pretending anymore?!
"As long as you have a good appetite, the little one's growth spurt usually occurs after seven months of pregnancy. This stage is an important stage for the development of the skin and genitals. You must supplement more nutrition. Eat more beans, milk, pork rib soup, corn, lean meat, and carrots." Doctor Wang endorsed tirelessly.
"Carrots..." The old man frowned, his tone helpless, "She doesn't eat them! Whether it's beef or spareribs cooked with carrots, she only eats the meat, not even a bit of carrots."
The three Lu siblings: "..."
Is your new feather duster broken? Or is it just not sturdy enough?
Doctor Wang: “…”
Old man, where is your leadership?
"When we get home, I'll ask Aunt Wang to chop the carrots finely and mix them into the stuffing for buns and dumplings. I guarantee she won't be able to taste the flavor." The old lady had plenty of tricks up her sleeve.
This is what she did when her precious grandson didn't like eating carrots.
"Pay attention to balanced nutrition, and try to eat a wider variety of foods. Don't just eat one thing." Doctor Wang still reminded.
"Okay!" The old lady nodded obediently.
After explaining some postpartum precautions, Dr. Wang left with his assistant.
After turning the corner and making sure that the people behind him could no longer hear, the assistant spoke with envy, "Sister Wang, what good deeds did Mr. Lu's granddaughter-in-law do in her previous life to be able to marry into such a good family like the Lu family in this life?"
When a daughter-in-law goes for a pregnancy checkup, it is not enough for the husband and mother-in-law to accompany her, but the grandparents also have to come.
"Or, you can ask her when she comes for the prenatal check-up tomorrow." Doctor Wang chuckled.
"I heard that Mr. Lu's granddaughter-in-law is from a small county town." The assistant whispered.
"You only know that she is from a small county town, but do you know that she is the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination?" The smile on Doctor Wang's face faded a little.
A hero is not judged by his origin.
No matter whether she is from a small county or not, she can make Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Captain Lu, Captain Qin, and Political Commissar Lu treat her like a treasure. That is her ability.
Have they come into contact with few wives of the compound’s wives?
Quite a lot!
There aren't a dozen or twenty of them every year?!
She has been working in this industry for more than 30 years and has come into contact with at least 500 wives of working-class families. Jian Qingyi is the first one who can have her grandfather or grandmother accompany her to prenatal checkups without fail.
"The top scorer in the college entrance examination..." The assistant was shocked.
She really didn't notice.
"There are some things you should not say in the future," Dr. Wang kindly reminded.
Big cities...
What's wrong with big cities?
The big city didn't allow her to have four dishes in one meal.
A family of six squeezed into a house less than 40 square meters has the nerve to laugh at people who live upstairs and downstairs with gardens?!
The assistant nodded hurriedly.
