Chapter 542 Postpartum emotions are crucial!
With Wang Yulian and Jin Zhenbao's initial remarks serving as a starting point, the women in the audience who had experienced pregnancy and childbirth all stood up and began to share their stories.
In summary, they raised more detailed questions about postpartum women's diet, sleep, urination and defecation, and even their hair, skin, figure, and posture.
"The problems you mentioned are all real. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can cause irreversible damage to a woman's body."
But after saying all that, you've all forgotten one thing.
"Come on, is there anyone else who can think of something?"
Li San Niang looked down at the audience with hopeful eyes, and even raised her eyebrows at her mother.
Thinking about the issues concerning women after childbirth that had just been mentioned, Li's mother felt that it was comprehensive enough. How could Li San Niang say that there was one point that had not been mentioned?
"I'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention such an important point."
Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer.
This is about a woman's emotions after childbirth!
How could a new mother's mindset not change?
How to be a good mother?
Oh, how do you take care of such a tiny baby as he/she grows up?
Physical pain, the unsightly and embarrassing state of her lower body, hair loss, and memory decline—even the smallest things can destroy this new mother.
If she can't eat or sleep well, her husband isn't considerate, and her mother-in-law isn't forgiving, then in her opinion, wouldn't it be better not to have children at all?
Wouldn't it be better to just take the child and die to find relief?
Is life in the underworld any better than on earth?
Li San Niang's series of questions left everyone in the audience stunned.
Yes, after giving birth, it seems that everyone's attention is focused on the newborn, and they basically or completely ignore the mother who just gave birth and experienced such a important event in her life. How is she doing?
Is she physically, mentally, and psychologically okay?
Even a hug, a "You've worked hard," or a "Don't worry, I'm here" would be fine.
It seems that apart from the girl's own mother, who still remembered to take a look at the girl who was covered in sweat and bleeding from her lower body, no one else remembered her.
Neither her husband nor her mother-in-law showed her any pity.
"Hmm, very good. Seeing your expressions, I know you understand what I mean."
This is a very special period in a woman's life. Admittedly, other people's words are only supplementary; the focus is still on her and her husband. But as midwives, it's only a small favor for us to pay attention and offer a few words of advice. What's so difficult about that?
Li San Niang stopped speaking, and the room fell silent. Li San Niang didn't say anything more; she was willing to give them time to think.
A healthy person, regardless of gender, is vulnerable when they are sick, and suffers both psychologically and physically.
For women who have just given birth, the period before they fully recover their health is a special time, much like being sick, and requires special care.
We need to pay attention to their physical and mental well-being and help them get through this period properly. That is the right thing to do.
Sitting in her seat, Sister-in-law Li was reminded of the time more than ten years ago when she was in confinement after Li Erlang was born, by Li San Niang's words.
Every day, Li's mother would bring her meals to her bedside and would also prepare some extra meat for her. When fruit was harvested in the family, apart from the children, she was the only adult who could enjoy it.
Not to mention, even after she finished her postpartum confinement, for the next six months, Li's mother forbade her to touch cold water, and she even reduced her cooking duties.
All the major and minor affairs of the Li family fell back into the hands of Li's eldest sister-in-law; that was after Li Erlang turned one year old.
"Moreover, at that time, my mother was afraid that I would be embarrassed to tell her what was on my mind, so she specially went to find my own mother to come and see me."
Even if my eldest son comes home very late at night, he never lets me get up. He even gets up to bring the baby over for feeding, and I don't have to worry about him after that.
Sister-in-law Li also remembered what Brother Li had said back then: "Mei Niang, you've suffered so much."
We won't have any more children; these two are enough.
"It is the greatest good deed I did in my past life to be able to marry you in this life, and I wish to be with you again in the next life."
Sister-in-law Li's lips curled up slightly as she reached out and touched her still-flat belly. She then turned to look at her mother and called out with deep emotion, "Mother!"
Thinking that her sister-in-law had something on her mind, Li's mother looked up at her with a questioning gaze. Li's sister-in-law just smiled, shook her head, and didn't say anything more.
"Third Aunt always says that the Li family was very lucky to marry me, but in fact, wasn't it me who was very lucky to marry into the Li family?"
As Sister-in-law Li was thinking this, Li Sanniang, who was standing on the stage, spoke up again: "This is a very difficult question to answer, so let's not discuss it for now."
You should think about it yourselves first.
Regarding physiological issues, I can offer a couple of suggestions.
Li San Niang took out a belly-binding belt that she had asked her mother to sew earlier from a cloth bag that she had prepared in advance.
Today, Li San Niang was wearing a cross-collar top, and in front of everyone, she demonstrated how to use the abdominal binder.
After Li San Niang finished tying her abdominal binder, she deliberately walked around the crowd twice so that everyone could see it clearly.
"When a woman is pregnant, her uterus is stretched as the fetus grows, and thus her belly is also stretched."
After childbirth, the belly doesn't return to its original shape overnight.
In this way, we can use this specially designed abdominal binder to help women tighten loose abdominal muscles and help the uterus recover, so as to avoid postpartum body deformation and prevent many diseases.
You must not underestimate this thing. Besides helping women shrink their abdomen, it is also effective in clearing postpartum lochia and relieving abdominal pain.
After removing the abdominal binder, Li San Niang handed it to Jin Zhenbao, who was closest to her, and asked her to look at it and then pass it on to the next person so that everyone could see it and touch it.
"If you're curious, feel free to try it out."
Everyone looked curiously at the abdominal binder in their hands, which was made of three pieces of cloth and two straps.
Yao Qingqing was bolder and was also the most uninhibited among the group. She stood up and tied the abdominal binder around her belly.
After tightening the belt, Yao Qingqing felt the tightening pressure on her abdomen. Her eyes widened, and she thought to herself, "The master said this thing is useful, so it must really be useful."
Therefore, recommending this product to new mothers could be quite a windfall.
Thinking of this, Yao Qingqing looked at Li San Niang, who was standing on the stage with a gentle smile, with a radiant expression, and felt a surge of passion in her heart.
