Chapter 278 Preparing for Childbirth 3
"Thank you."
Gu Jinxing took the shopping bag and then went to the rest area to help Shen Wancheng up.
Shen Wancheng's belly is now too big, so it doesn't affect her movement too much, but she has a lot of trouble getting up every time.
After leaving the store, Gu Jinxing handed the shopping bags to the bodyguard guarding the door.
Shen Wancheng continued buying baby clothes.
The sales assistant's words reminded Shen Wancheng that she couldn't buy all size S clothes; if the baby grew too fast, the clothes would be too small later in her postpartum period.
Although Gu Jinxing or Wen Nan might be able to buy it later, Shen Wancheng preferred to choose it herself.
Shen Wancheng bought another twenty or thirty pieces of size M baby clothes.
They then went to the bedding section to buy blankets.
Springtime in Hong Kong Island is humid, and summers are hot, so when buying a blanket, you need to pay attention to whether it is breathable and soft.
Shen Wancheng picked up a pure cotton blanket and felt its thickness; it seemed okay.
Gu Jinxing, watching from the side, offered his opinion, "Isn't this too thin?"
Shen Wancheng squeezed the blanket again, weighing her options.
"That should be enough. Nine should be sufficient."
Shen Wancheng vaguely remembered hearing married colleagues complain about this in her later life.
In movies and TV shows, babies are often depicted wrapped in blankets, but it's actually better to dress them properly, especially in the summer.
Babies are not as afraid of the cold as adults think.
Rather than letting babies get cold, it's actually more common for babies to develop rashes from being overheated.
Adults are just instinctively afraid that children will get cold, like Gu Jinxing right now.
Seeing that Shen Wancheng only planned to buy nine thin blankets, Gu Jinxing finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Shouldn't you buy three thicker blankets as spares?"
Shen Wancheng smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Anyway, they don't lack this money, so Gu Jinxing's intention should be encouraged.
Next, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing went to buy hats and socks.
By the time we finished buying all the baby clothes, it was almost noon.
They needed to continue buying things for Shen Wancheng after giving birth in the afternoon, so they didn't go back for lunch.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing went to a private club for lunch.
Shen Wancheng's postpartum care center is located above a private club. After they finished lunch, Shen Wancheng could go and take a look at the postpartum care center.
Yesterday, the wife whose daughter-in-law was already in postpartum confinement said that her daughter-in-law would be allowed to check into the postpartum care center today.
This made her the first customer of Youhuxinyue Confinement Center.
Now that Shen Wancheng is here, it's a good opportunity to ask the new mother how she is feeling.
When Shen Wancheng went to see the new mother, Gu Jinxing couldn't go with her. Instead, Yu Qingyu, who now manages the postpartum care center, accompanied Shen Wancheng.
Yu Qingyu knocked on the door of the luxury suite three times, then stepped back behind Shen Wancheng.
Mrs. Liu, who placed the order yesterday, opened the door. When she saw Shen Wancheng standing at the door, her eyes immediately lit up with a smile.
"Ms. Shen, what brings you here? Please come in."
Shen Wancheng entered the suite.
Mrs. Liu, who was in postpartum confinement, heard what her mother-in-law said. She, who was originally lying in bed, also tried to get up.
Shen Wancheng quickly spoke.
"Mrs. Xiaoliu, you can just lie down, you don't need to get up."
Mrs. Xiaoliu smiled politely at Shen Wancheng, "Mrs. Gu, hello."
Mrs. Liu explained from the side, "She had a tear during her natural childbirth, and the baby was a bit big. She was just discharged from the hospital, so she spends most of her time lying down."
"Oh, then you should rest well and wait until the wound heals before getting out of bed and walking around."
The knowledge that the achievement system imparted to Shen Wancheng mentioned many complications related to poor wound healing after episiotomy or tearing during vaginal delivery.
For example, wound inflammation, hyperplasia, etc., and the persistent pain caused by infection may also cause fear of urination, urinary tract infection, etc.
Anyway, it must be taken good care of.
“I thought about her special situation yesterday, and you all seemed very professional, so I suggested that she come here to have her postpartum care.”
Upon hearing Mrs. Liu say this, Mrs. Liu immediately chimed in.
"Thank you, Mom."
Shen Wancheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu's situation is special. Did you give our postpartum care center management any feedback beforehand?"
Yu Qingyu quickly chimed in, "Mrs. Liu has already told us. I told them this morning that our professional nursing advice is to add a daily disinfection and cleaning of Mrs. Liu's wound. But she's a little resistant to it."
Mrs. Koyanagi smiled apologetically and said, "I felt uncomfortable seeing people applying medicine and cleaning there. I was in a lot of pain during my days in the hospital."
"Sigh." Mrs. Liu sighed and didn't say anything.
Shen Wancheng sat down next to Mrs. Xiaoliu.
“I can understand Mrs. Koyanagi’s feelings. To be honest, I’ve never had a child before. When I think about how I would look like a monster during a natural birth, and the mess that would happen, I feel very resistant.”
"Applying medicine and cleaning the wound is certainly not as embarrassing as that moment, right? You've already experienced the most embarrassing moment, so now you should focus on recovering as quickly as possible. If the wound doesn't heal properly, you'll be afraid to even go to the toilet, let alone have sex. If that happens, you'll regret your choice now."
Mrs. Koyanagi's eyes widened in surprise. "Will it really have an impact?"
"What I mean is, if the wound doesn't heal well, then you'll experience continuous pain down there. Think back to how you felt a few days ago when the doctor asked you to have your first bowel movement after giving birth. Weren't you terrified? Afraid to push, or even unable to push at all?"
Mrs. Koyanagi bit her lip, and tears inexplicably welled up in her eyes.
"Don't cry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just saying if you cried. If you cry, I'll feel really guilty."
Mrs. Koyanagi tried her best to hold back her tears.
"No, I know you mean well, I understand. Although I'm still reluctant, I think you're right. Please clean and disinfect my wound."
"That's good, thank you Mrs. Gu. I didn't expect you to persuade her with just a few words. Thank you so much." Mrs. Liu said happily to Shen Wancheng after hearing Mrs. Liu agree to cooperate.
She truly loves her daughter-in-law and hopes she recovers quickly so that childbirth won't affect her son and daughter-in-law's relationship.
But as a mother-in-law, there are some things she can't say.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wancheng made her daughter-in-law understand in just a few words.
Mrs. Liu was truly delighted.
"Mrs. Liu, you're too kind. I didn't do anything."
"It doesn't matter how much you do, as long as you do something useful. Mrs. Gu, you are truly amazing."
"You really don't need to be so polite. But I would also like to say that all the arrangements we make at our postpartum care center are not just for show. Since you've come here for your postpartum care, please try to do all the services we offer. The fees you've paid include all of these. Especially psychological therapy, don't think it's useless and skip it."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu's daughter exchanged a glance.
Mrs. Liu asked, "What are the benefits of postpartum psychological therapy?"
