Chapter 272 Scientific Postpartum Care: Refusing to Be Treated Like Pickled Vegetables

Shen Wancheng wasn't ungrateful; she genuinely hadn't intended to trouble Wen Nan when she opened her postpartum care center.

Wen Nan came here to help her entirely on her own initiative.

Therefore, Shen Wancheng was also grateful to Wen Nan.

After a while, the guests arrived one after another.

The first to arrive was the Governor's wife. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Wen Nan saw the Governor's wife and quickly reminded Shen Wancheng to get up.

Shen Wancheng was immediately helped up by Shen Yao and went forward to greet them together with Wen Nan.

"Mrs. Gu." The Governor's wife greeted Wen Nan first, then looked at Shen Wancheng. After thinking for a moment, she didn't address Shen Wancheng as Mrs. Gu, but instead smiled at her.

"Ms. Shen, congratulations."

The Governor's wife was wearing a casual women's suit newly launched by Oriental Elegance.

This is a clear act of goodwill.

Shen Wancheng's smile became even more enthusiastic.

"Mrs. Liu, your presence is truly an honor for Youhu Xinyue."

The Governor's wife was followed by two maids, each carrying a gift.

Shen Wancheng bowed slightly, accepted the gift, and handed it to the receptionist beside her.

"Please come in."

At this opportune moment, Wen Nan interjected, "I'll accompany Mrs. Liu inside."

The Governor's wife also said, "Yes, it's not convenient for you to move around frequently right now, so your mother can accompany me inside."

"Then please do as you please."

After escorting the Governor's wife inside to rest with a staff member, Wen Nan returned to the front desk.

By 11:40 a.m., all the invited guests had arrived.

Shen Wancheng then entered the lobby of the postpartum care center together with Wen Nan and Shen Yao.

Dozens of elegantly dressed ladies gathered in twos and threes in the lobby, some simply chatting, while others were seriously touring the postpartum care center.

Shen Wancheng stepped forward.

The ladies noticed Shen Wancheng enter and automatically quieted down.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the opening ceremony of Youhu Xinyue Maternity Center."

Shen Wancheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear clearly: "As Hong Kong's first professional postpartum care institution, we are committed to providing the most scientific and comfortable postpartum care services for mothers and newborns."

Shen Wancheng looked around and noticed that the older ladies all had indifferent expressions, but the younger ladies were looking at her with curiosity.

Shen Wancheng didn't mind and continued, "Now, please allow me to show you around our center and its facilities. We'll also have the opportunity to try our postpartum meals later."

After Shen Wancheng finished speaking, she led everyone to an ordinary suite.

"We only have two types of suites here, this one is a standard suite."

Shen Wancheng pushed open the suite door, and what appeared before everyone was a warmly decorated room.

The pure white walls, the natural wood furniture, and the large bed make the whole place look bright and clean.

One corner of the room is the baby care area, equipped with a height-adjustable diaper changing table and a cradle.

Shen Wancheng gave a special introduction to the baby care area, as well as the voice-activated bedside lamp, which has a dim yellow light that won't affect sleep even when it's on.

Then Shen Wancheng pushed open the bathroom door again.

“Each suite is equipped with a private bathroom, and we have specially designed non-slip floors and handrails to meet the special needs of postpartum women.”

A stylish young lady—Shen Wancheng remembered her as the daughter of a banker's wife—entered the bathroom, looked around, and then frowned.

"Where's the bathtub? How are we supposed to relax while taking a bath?"

Shen Wancheng smiled politely, "New mothers can't take baths during their postpartum period, they can only take showers, so we didn't equip them with bathtubs, which would be a waste of space."

"Bullshit."

A woman in her fifties suddenly spoke up, "I've had three children, and during my postpartum period, they said I couldn't take a bath at all, not even a shower, for a whole month."

Before Shen Wancheng could refute the lady's words, the fashionable young lady spoke in disbelief.

"Not showering for a month! Good heavens! You'd turn into pickled vegetables by now, wouldn't you? You'd stink to death, wouldn't you?"

Shen Yao pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Shen Wancheng couldn't help but chuckle at the young lady's bluntness.

The young woman's mother knew that her words had offended a large number of people present, many of whom had gone through postpartum confinement in the same way.

The woman pulled her daughter behind her and then gave the other women present an apologetic smile.

"My Lingling is still young and doesn't understand these things. I apologize if I've offended you."

Shen Wancheng smoothed things over, saying, "Mrs. Lü's daughter isn't married yet, so of course she doesn't know anything about postpartum care. I can understand."

Some of those present who were close to the Gu family echoed, "Yes, when I was a daughter, I didn't know anything about these things either."

Then, Shen Wancheng turned on the bathroom heater, and the temperature in the bathroom instantly rose.

"Mrs. Zhang, you are right. Traditional beliefs do hold that you cannot wash your hair or take a bath during the postpartum period. However, modern medicine believes that the previous prohibition against bathing was due to environmental factors. As long as the room temperature is suitable, proper cleaning is more beneficial to the health of the new mother. Not cleaning for a month will breed a lot of bacteria."

Shen Wancheng then pointed to the shower equipment and said, "The water in this shower is not ordinary tap water, but 'cooked water' that has been boiled with herbs such as ginger and mugwort and then cooled to a warm temperature. It is not cold. New mothers will not catch a cold when they use it to bathe and wash their hair. On the contrary, it can promote blood circulation and help discharge lochia. Moreover, washing hair with ginger water will also nourish the hair and make it black and shiny."

“Of course,” Shen Wancheng added before the woman could object, “We don’t recommend that new mothers wash their hair and take a bath immediately after giving birth. For the first few days, you can wipe your body with a warm towel. Once you’ve recovered some energy and immunity, you can then take a bath and wash your hair. This way, you can keep your body clean and avoid the risk of catching a cold.”

Several young women in the crowd showed expressions of agreement.

That fashionable young lady even spoke up directly.

"Then when I get pregnant and give birth, I will definitely choose to stay here for postpartum care. At home, they insist on not letting me shower or wash my hair, and I will go crazy."

The fashionable lady's mother glared at her, telling her to shut up.

But this person wasn't afraid at all, and even emphasized, "I must take a shower, I can't stand turning into pickled vegetables."

Her mother could only smile apologetically at the other ladies again.

The older woman in the crowd still looked at Shen Wancheng and the fashionable young lady who was talking with the same indifferent expression.

Shen Wancheng sighed inwardly.

The path to scientific postpartum care is long and arduous.
