Chapter 352 Postpartum Sickness

Wei Wei rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Is this a matter of money?"

Wei Wei paused, "Okay, money is also an issue, but not everyone can be as rich as you. Most people in this world come from ordinary families."

After saying that, Wei Wei looked at Wu Mei, wanting to give her a shot of prevention first.

"If you don't have enough breast milk, you need formula. You need at least one can of formula a week for three years. You have to figure out how much that's going to cost. How much strength is required?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Zhibin and said, "Oh, by the way, you said you can afford it. Let's not count the money first, let's count the damage to the mother first.

Do you know how much damage it does to a woman's body when she is pregnant?

Let’s count from the beginning of pregnancy. In the first three months, usually morning sickness starts after two or three months. If it is very severe, morning sickness will occur after more than a month.

Pregnant women vomit whatever they eat and feel dizzy after vomiting. Some of the more serious cases even vomit from the time they become pregnant to the time they give birth.

The child eats the mother's nutrition in the belly. During pregnancy, the fetus is like a parasite to the mother, no different from a parasite.

Children need nutrition to grow, right? What if a pregnant woman can’t eat or vomits after eating?

If the child doesn't eat, he won't be able to grow and develop. He can only eat with his nose pinched, then spit it out and eat again.

How miserable would that person be? Just imagine, when our team had diarrhea last time, you were sitting there with a bowl of that yellow, dry porridge. If you drank that for a year, wouldn't you feel miserable?

This is not even half as bad as morning sickness, because you can gradually become immune to it, but morning sickness cannot.

Not only that, in the later stages of pregnancy, the various physical and psychological difficulties are the most torturous.

The levels of various hormones in the body increase, and the whole person becomes moody and even unrecognizable.

Later on, I had various edema problems, and I couldn't even walk properly or sleep well.

When giving birth, one life is almost exchanged for another.

After giving birth, there are all kinds of problems, including sequelae and diseases that will accompany you throughout your life.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. After giving birth to a child, don't expect it to recover to 70% or 80% of your pre-children figure within two or three years.

This still requires good food and drink to keep it alive. The remaining two or three percent can never be recovered.

You are talking about how easy it is, you can have as many children as you want and you can afford to raise them.

This is completely like not wanting you to give birth, you just open your mouth and say it, right?"

Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this. The three men were stunned, while Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei were frightened.

Liu Jiaojiao stared at Wei Wei blankly, "Is this true?"

Seeing Liu Jiaojiao, Wei Wei suddenly remembered that Liu Jiaojiao was a love-brained person before.

Although she didn't know whether she was still in love, Wei Wei wanted to give her a shot of prevention.

The same goes for Wu Mei. Wu Mei is too naive. A girl like her is easily deceived by a scumbag.

"Look, have you two ever seen the lines on your mother's belly?"

Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei nodded blankly, "I've seen it."

Their mother said that every girl will have this in the future. It looks like a pattern, but it doesn’t look good.

"Those are called stretch marks, aren't they white?"

Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei nodded blankly again.

"That's because of the accumulation of time, so it slowly turned white. It was purple at the beginning.

After I got pregnant, my belly was stretched and covered with purple lines, which gave me goose bumps.

Imagine the lines on your mother's belly turned purple, and her belly was magnified several times, like a pregnant woman's. That would be your mother's belly when she was pregnant with you."

Wu Mei and Liu Jiaojiao imagined it and got goosebumps. It was too scary, but besides being scary, they also felt a little heartbroken.

The three boys next to them couldn't imagine it because they seemed to have never seen a mother's belly.

Wei Wei looked at the three of them. "Imagine your belly is as big as a watermelon, and it's covered with those purple watermelon-like lines. Isn't that scary?"

Xiao Xuemu, Li Zhibin and Yu Xi imagined it and suddenly they got goosebumps and goose bumps all over their bodies.

Liu Jiaojiao asked in a muffled voice, "What are the side effects of giving birth?"

Seeing Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei in such a low mood, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt a little emotional. As expected, girls are more likely to empathize.

"It depends on whether you take good care of yourself during the confinement period. However, I think more than 99 percent of women don't do it well."

Wei Wei looked at Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei, "Do you know how long confinement is needed?"

Wu Mei was stunned. "One month?"

She already remembers when her mother gave birth to two younger siblings, but her mother did not stay in bed for a full month.

Wei Wei looked at Liu Jiaojiao, "What do you think?"

"Forty days. My sister-in-law's confinement period is also forty days."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi both sighed, knowing that this was the case.

Not to mention now, even in the 21st century, there are few women who can stay in confinement for 40 days after giving birth like Liu Jiaojiao's sister-in-law.

Seeing the expressions of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, Liu Jiaojiao was stunned. "Isn't that right?"

Jiang Qi sighed, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. This is more than just a broken bone, it's much more serious.

Look at your hips. When you give birth, the pubic bone opens completely. Just imagine how much it has to open up in order to allow a child to be born. That's how serious it is."

After hearing this, although Liu Jiaojiao felt that it made sense, she still asked in disbelief.

“But I haven’t seen anyone stay in confinement for a hundred days. Besides, won’t your body stink after a hundred days?

There are only about 300 days in a year. If you don't take a shower or wash your hair for nearly half a year, your whole body must be smelly, right? "

Wei Wei shook her head, "It's not that you can't take a bath or wash your hair during confinement, but you can't use cold water.

In fact, if you are in confinement after giving birth, you can wash your hair a few days after giving birth, and you can use ginger water to wash your hair.

Then you can observe the confinement period like your sister-in-law did. Actually, forty days is enough, but for the next two months, you cannot lift heavy objects and need to take good care of yourself.

Think about it, do your mother and sister-in-law often suffer from joint pain, especially in their wrists and waist? Some people also suffer from headaches.

There is even the kind of trachoma that causes tears in the eyes when exposed to the wind, and some people even suffer from cervical pain. These are all caused by not taking good care of themselves during the confinement period.

Some people just lose their hair in clumps, and everyone's situation is a little different."

Wu Mei was completely stunned when she heard this, "My mother has all these conditions."

Liu Jiaojiao was also a little stunned. "My mother and sister-in-law have almost all of these. My sister-in-law doesn't have cervical pain or tears, but my mother says it's a woman's disease."

Wu Mei also nodded in agreement, "My mother said the same thing, that this is a female disease, and almost every woman will have it in the future."

After hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't know what to say, because this statement was not unreasonable. These diseases could indeed be called women's diseases because only women could give birth to children.

"These are all postpartum diseases. These are the reasons why the postpartum care was not done properly."

Liu Jiaojiao was stunned when she heard this. "You mean if I take good care of myself during the confinement period, I won't have these diseases?"

Wei Wei nodded. "These symptoms can be avoided to a certain extent if you take good care of yourself during the confinement period."

After hearing this, Wu Mei and Liu Jiaojiao didn't know what to say, especially Liu Jiaojiao.

Liu Jiaojiao has a very good relationship with her mother. In the past, when she saw her mother in pain, she felt really bad.

But now when I tell her that all her mother's illnesses were caused by giving birth to her, she feels really uneasy and uncomfortable.

Not only did Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei feel uncomfortable, but the boys next to them also didn't feel particularly happy.

Although they didn't quite understand what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had said before, they had seen some of the illnesses mentioned later in their mothers, although they didn't know much about them.

They only knew that their mother was not in good health, but they never imagined that the illness was caused by giving birth to them.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing at this time.

Seeing the current situation, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't know what to say.

Weren't they just gossiping before? Why did the topic suddenly turn to confinement? Isn't this jumping too far?
