Quick mission: We don't make trouble

In that quiet and cozy courtyard room, Mother Zhu, also known as the skilled Doctor Chen, was carefully holding a bowl of steaming chicken soup, sitting by the bed and gently feeding it to the woman in labor, spoonful by spoonful.

The woman's face was still a little pale, but her eyes were full of gratitude. She said softly, "Doctor Chen, you not only saved my life and my child's life, but also took such good care of us. You even made chicken soup for me. I really don't know how to thank you!"

Mother Zhu smiled gently and said, "Don't think too much. This is what you should do. You can start eating normally now. The porridge you had before wasn't nutritious enough. You need to drink more chicken soup to replenish your body. After all, you still have to feed the baby."

The mother naturally understood this principle. Without enough milk, the baby would have a hard time growing up healthily. But she was still a little embarrassed and said softly, "Let me do it myself."

However, Mother Zhu shook her head and patiently explained: "Your wound has not yet healed completely, you need to rest well, let me feed you."

The mother nodded helplessly and had to accept Zhu's kindness. After drinking a bowl of hot chicken soup, the mother felt that she had sweated a lot and her clothes were soaked.

Zhu's mother noticed this carefully and quickly got clean clothes for the baby to change into. She also wiped her body carefully to ensure she was comfortable and dry. Finally, she carefully brought the baby to her side and let the baby try to suckle breast milk.

Breast milk is better for babies.

But now mothers don’t have much milk.

The baby burped a few times and fell asleep again because he was tired.

Mother: "Doctor Chen, when can I get out of bed?"

Mother Zhu: "In a couple of days, you can try to get out of bed and move around, but there is one thing I need to tell you."

Mother Zhu carefully explained to the woman in labor:

Because you had a difficult labor, the baby was in an abnormal position and was stuck, which was very dangerous. If the baby couldn't be born, it would suffocate to death in your womb, and the adult's life would be in danger. So I took some measures, uh, that is, I made an incision in your abdomen and took the baby out. Do you understand what I mean?"

When the mother heard the news, an expression of shock and fear appeared on her face, but she tried to remain calm and nodded to show that she understood.

Mother Zhu continued, "The situation was extremely critical. If we hadn't done this, both you and your child might not have survived. Although your child is now safely born, your wound needs time to heal. During this time, you must rest and don't move around to avoid tearing the wound. Once the wound has healed, you can slowly get out of bed and walk around."

The mother looked at Mother Zhu gratefully, tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Dr. Chen. If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago."

The woman reached out to touch her abdomen, but there was a belly band tied there, so she couldn't feel the wound, but only felt some pain.

Mother Zhu: "I have sutured the wound, and it will heal. There will only be a scar, but it is not life-threatening... For example, it's like a cut on your hand, which slowly heals and only leaves a scar."

Mother Zhu tried to use simple and easy-to-understand methods to avoid scaring the mother.

The mother: "Then I will...

Mother Zhu said, "I will live a normal life in the future. It won't be affected. It's just that I suffered some damage during childbirth this time. I need to take care of the baby for a few years. If I want to have another child, I'll have to wait another three to five years."

The woman in labor: "Doctor Chen, that's not what I meant. My... head of the family, the child's father is no longer here, so why should I give birth? I just want to ask if my body can still work like a normal person? After all, I still have to raise a child and take care of a mother-in-law.

Mother Zhu: "Of course, once you've recovered, you can be just like a normal person. But I think you're still so young, you can definitely find another one and start a family to help you share the burden.

After all, it is not easy for a woman to take care of both the old and the young."

The woman in labor shook her head: "No."

Mother Zhu: "Why, can't you remarry?"

She didn't know whether remarriage was allowed in this era, so she asked this question.
