Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
At 4:13 AM, Du Xiaojuan finally gave birth to the child!
It wasn't quite like in TV dramas.
The baby didn't cry loudly right after being born.
The umbilical cord was cut short, the birth time recorded, the sex recorded, then the baby was weighed, and the weight recorded.
Then an identity wristband was put on the infant.
When the child was just born, it was bloody, very ugly, and wouldn't cry.
The doctor patted the infant's buttocks a few times, and only then did the infant cry loudly.
The medical underpad was used to wipe the amniotic fluid off the infant clean, then the infant was wrapped in the baby swaddle blanket that had been prepared in advance.
The doctor brought the infant before Du Xiaojuan to confirm the child's sex with her.
【13】 The medical underpad was used to wipe the amniotic fluid off the infant clean, then the infant was wrapped in the baby swaddle blanket that had been prepared in advance.
【14】 The doctor brought the infant before Du Xiaojuan to confirm the child's sex with her.
It's a baby boy! Exactly six jin in weight!
The medical staff all congratulated Du Xiaojuan.
Du Xiaojuan, however, didn't have much reaction.
On one hand, she didn't care about boy or girl.
On the other hand, she had just given birth and was truly too weak.
And she seemed to have no great enthusiasm for this baby just born from her belly, even complaining inwardly: So ugly.
Actually, all newborns in the world are like this; right after birth they're not cute at all, skin all wrinkled, and squeezed through the vagina, the head shape squeezed long and flat, the body red all over — in short, completely unrelated to beautiful.
Only after raising them for a few months, when they gradually open up, do they become adorable and moving.
The doctor didn't call Wang Dashan in right away, because the placenta was still in Du Xiaojuan's uterus and a uterine curettage had to be performed.
After the curettage was done and the placenta all taken out.
Only then did the doctor call Wang Dashan, who had been waiting outside the room, in to confirm the infant's condition, and then asked Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan if they wanted to take the placenta away?
Because some people want the placenta; this thing has another name in Chinese medicine, called Ziheche, with effects of replenishing Qi and nourishing blood, tonifying the kidney and enriching essence, so some people take it back to cook and eat.
Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan both expressed they didn't want it; the doctor said, if you don't want it, then we'll handle it ourselves.
This time, Du Xiaojuan's birth process could be described as extremely smooth.
Vaginal delivery without episiotomy, and the whole process took only a few hours.
But even so, it still took half her life.
Once the painless needle's effect wore off, she felt terribly miserable.
Wang Dashan held Du Xiaojuan's hand by the hospital bed, his eyes bloodshot, unable to bear her suffering:
"Wife, you've worked hard."
Du Xiaojuan lay on the hospital bed, besides the misery, still somewhat dazed.
She sighed and said:
"Never giving birth again, too much suffering."
Wang Dashan nodded and replied:
"Okay, just one is fine."
At this time Du Xiaojuan muttered to herself:
"The birth process is too painful, yet online some say that after giving birth, the body's protective mechanism makes the brain completely forget this bone-etching pain after a few months, so people go on to have a second child, a third child — don't know if it's true."
Wang Dashan didn't know what to say, only said:
"Want me to bring the baby over for you to see?"
Du Xiaojuan shook her head:
"No, just leave it there, let me rest a bit."
Du Xiaojuan thought to herself, on TV they act like a woman just gives birth and is excited to death, can't put the infant down — how come she doesn't have that feeling at all?
She really wanted to have that feeling, really wanted to love this child who just came out of her own belly.
But she really didn't have that feeling.
Instead there was even a faint sense of rejection.
At this moment, the newborn infant cried out.
As a novice dad, Wang Dashan was a bit at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Du Xiaojuan said:
"Press the call button, let a nurse come over; probably the baby wants to eat."
Wang Dashan did as told, pressed the bell, and before long a nurse came over.
Because when the child is just born, the mother has no breast milk, so formula has to be prepared for the child.
Du Xiaojuan had long prepared formula, the small canned kind; one can in the trunk of her car, one can in the trunk of Wang Dashan's car — just in case of an emergency, coming to the hospital too rushed, no time to pack, achieving preparedness without worry.
Du Xiaojuan had Wang Dashan go to the hospital's underground garage to fetch the formula, and by the way bring some medical underpads, and warming patches for pain relief, medical tissues for wiping lochia and such.
Wang Dashan's car trunk had them all prepared too.
Wang Dashan hurriedly ran down and brought up everything from the trunk.
The nurse opened the formula, checked the formula dosage, then used 45-degree warm boiled water, mixed 30 milliliters in a small baby bottle, shook it evenly but didn't directly let the infant drink from the nipple.
Instead used a small spoon to feed the infant a few small spoonfuls.
Wang Dashan didn't understand, so he asked:
"Why not use a pacifier to feed, why use a spoon."
The Nurse said with a smile:
"A newborn child, First Time feeding, cannot directly use a pacifier to feed, Afraid of choking on milk, wait until the infant knows how to drink milk, then later use a pacifier. Additionally, remember, after drinking milk must lie on the side, absolutely must not lie flat, lying flat easily chokes on milk, if milk chokes into the Lung, it could cause the infant to suffocate!"
Wang Dashan hurriedly nodded, committing this to memory.
Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but Complain one Sentence:
"These are all common sense, usually you also don't pay much attention."
Wang Dashan gave an Embarrassed Laugh:
"Isn't it because we hired a Confinement Nanny, I thought I'd wait for the Confinement Nanny to come, then slowly follow along and Learn."
Du Xiaojuan didn't Blame Wang Dashan for anything, because she knew, the Majority of men are like this, things not at hand, they just don't pay much attention.
Even if they paid attention, Turning back they might just Forget again.
"Wait for morning when the Confinement Nanny Arrives, you must study seriously, can't Count On the Confinement Nanny for everything, After All that's just someone else's job."
Wang Dashan busily nodded:
"Okay okay, I'll follow along and Learn, and keep an eye on her."
Around Eight o'clock in the morning, the Angel Doctor's assigned Confinement Nanny Arrived.
The Confinement Nanny's surname was Kang, only a few years older than Du Xiaojuan, but very professional, not only Taking Care of the child feeding and changing Diapers and such, but also incidentally Taking Care of Du Xiaojuan.
Du Xiaojuan had just given birth, her body was very weak, if she wanted to be discharged, she had to recover her body as soon as possible, and be able to urinate independently.
Unable to urinate independently, the Doctor would not allow discharge.
Du Xiaojuan's body hadn't recovered yet, but she was already concerned about the Company's listing matters.
Around Nine O'clock, she called Fang Dayong, Asking how the listing process was going.
Fang Dayong reported the situation to her, everything progressing very Smoothly, then Asked if she had given birth.
"Gave birth, it's a little boy."
"Congratulations President Du on obtaining a precious son! A boy is good, in the future the Company Counts As having an heir!"
Fang Dayong laughed heartily.
Du Xiaojuan was Speechless, couldn't help but retort one Sentence: "If it were a girl, would she not be able to inherit?"
Fang Dayong Stunned, then hurriedly laughed and said:
"Can can can, how does that saying go, women can also hold up half the sky, boy or girl both good, Anyway congratulations President Du! After the listing ceremony ends, I'll bring all the Company's senior management to the Hospital to visit you!"
Du Xiaojuan directly Refused:
"Better not, I don't want others to disturb, want to rest quietly for a bit."
