Chapter 1868

The next day, after Su Xinghui went to work, he told Yin Hualong and drove to the hospital by himself, finding Director Chen. Director Chen received him alone in her office.

Su Xinghui told Director Chen about some of the abnormal situations of Lu Xiaoya he saw yesterday and asked, "Director Chen, do you think Lu Xiaoya has postpartum depression?"

Director Chen pondered for a moment and nodded, "Magistrate Su, according to the situation you described, she is very likely to have postpartum depression. However, she is only in her third week postpartum. Even if it is postpartum depression, it will be in the early stage and relatively mild. So, don't be too anxious."

Su Xinghui said, "Then what should I do?"

Director Chen said, "How about this, you bring her to me for a check-up this afternoon, just say it's a routine postpartum check-up. I'll determine if it's postpartum depression and see how serious her symptoms are before determining a treatment plan."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, then I'll bring her this afternoon. Does she need to take medicine?"

Director Chen said, "If necessary, she also needs to take medicine. However, we generally don't recommend taking medicine because the child is still breastfeeding. You don't have to worry. This disease can generally be self-healed, but it requires the husband to have great patience and give the wife enough spiritual comfort. Usually, let her participate in more social activities, listen to more soothing music, watch entertainment programs, etc."

Su Xinghui nodded and asked, "Lu Xiaoya's body shape has changed a lot, could this also be a trigger?"

Director Chen smiled, "This is of course a trigger. After giving birth, in order to breastfeed, mothers generally don't pay too much attention to the protection of their body shape. During this time, the nutrition is also very good, so the weight during this time will generally increase rapidly, which makes the mother feel that she has become ugly and is not attractive enough to her husband. This also requires control of the body shape, and the husband also needs to comfort his wife more."

Su Xinghui got up and said, "Okay, then thank you, Director Chen, I'll bring Lu Xiaoya this afternoon."

After the afternoon nap, Lu Xiaoya fed the child, and Su Xinghui brought Lu Xiaoya to the hospital. He only said that Director Chen notified her to have a postpartum check-up at the hospital, and Lu Xiaoya didn't suspect anything.

Arriving at the hospital, Director Chen began to examine Lu Xiaoya, and Su Xinghui waited outside. His face was calm, but his heart was full of anxiety. He even had the urge to light a cigarette. He now understood why many people would smoke when they were in a bad mood.

The check-up lasted for more than an hour. Director Chen sent Lu Xiaoya out and said with a smile, "Comrade Lu Xiaoya, your postpartum recovery is very good. However, you must persist in exercising. If your weight increases too rapidly, it will not be good for your physical health. You should follow the recipe I gave you for your meals every day."

Hearing Director Chen's words, Lu Xiaoya smiled and nodded, "Okay, Director Chen, I'll listen to you."

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya went downstairs together and got into the car. Lu Xiaoya smiled, "Xinghui, did you hear what Director Chen said? You have to accompany me to exercise every day in the future."

Su Xinghui saw Lu Xiaoya's smile, and his heart felt much more comfortable. He quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll exercise with you every morning in the future."

After sending Lu Xiaoya home, Su Xinghui went to the hospital again and found Director Chen to ask about the results of the check-up.

Director Chen smiled, "Magistrate Su, don't be too anxious. She does have postpartum depression."

Su Xinghui's heart sank. Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't want this to be the result. He hoped that Lu Xiaoya was just having a temporary emotional change. But now, confirming this news from Director Chen's mouth made him not know what to say for a while.

Director Chen said, "Magistrate Su, although Comrade Lu Xiaoya has postpartum depression, it is only in the early stage. You discovered it very timely, so the symptoms are still very mild and can be completely cured. It is fortunate that you discovered it in time. Some family members who don't understand and are careless didn't discover it, and after a long time, the symptoms became very serious."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Director Chen, what should I do now?"

Director Chen said, "You should follow what I said, care more about her, let her listen to more music, take her out to play with friends more, accompany her to watch more entertainment programs on TV, and her mood should slowly recover. I also wrote her a recipe, you accompany her to exercise, and her body shape can slowly recover."

Su Xinghui said gratefully, "Director Chen, thank you so much."

Director Chen smiled, "You're welcome, Magistrate Su, this is what I should do."

Speaking of this, Director Chen whispered, "Also, it's best for you to sleep in the same bed as your wife. At this time, your wife needs your care more."

Su Xinghui felt a bit embarrassed and nodded.

Director Chen continued, "Also, about two months postpartum, you can have intercourse. Appropriate and harmonious marital life is very necessary. During this time, you should bring her to me for a check-up at least once a week. At two months, I will also give her another check-up to see if she has fully recovered and can have marital life."

Su Xinghui felt a bit embarrassed, but he also knew that such embarrassment was unnecessary in front of a doctor, so he nodded, "I know, Director Chen."

Coming out of Director Chen's place, Su Xinghui felt much more comfortable in his heart. Lu Xiaoya's illness was not serious, and he believed he could definitely help Lu Xiaoya walk out of it.

He had finally encountered the biggest hurdle since his rebirth. Before, no matter what happened, he had no fear. But for this kind of thing, he had no grasp at all, especially since the matter related to his family, which made him a bit concerned and chaotic.

That afternoon, Su Xinghui found an opportunity to be alone with Guo Suhua and tactfully told her about Director Chen's meaning. He said that Lu Xiaoya was under great pressure now, her mood had some fluctuations, and she needed intimacy between husband and wife. Otherwise, she might suffer from postpartum depression.

Guo Suhua was a bit disappointed. She felt sorry for her son, so she lived with her daughter-in-law every night to help her son take care of the child. This was also because the child still needed to feed, otherwise she would have taken care of the child by herself. She didn't expect her son to say this to her.

Su Xinghui naturally saw Guo Suhua's disappointed expression. He quickly said to his mother, "Mom, this is indeed what Director Chen said. Didn't you notice that Xiaoya's mood has been a bit bad recently? I'll show you a book about postpartum depression later and you'll know."

Guo Suhua thought for a while and said, "Yes, Xiaoya's mood has indeed been low these days. Okay, then I'll talk to the in-laws later, let the in-laws sleep with the grandmother, and I'll sleep in your study."

That night, Guo Suhua and Song Qiaoli moved out of Lu Xiaoya's room together. Li Shuqin took the initiative to move into Grandma Lu's room and sleep in the same bed as Grandma Lu. She had been a bit uncomfortable during this time. She lived in such a large guest room alone, but let Su Xinghui live in the study. She had long wanted to change it.

But Su Xinghui said he wanted to paint and write in the study at night and insisted on living in the study, so she had no choice. Just taking advantage of this opportunity today, she moved out of the guest room and gave the guest room to Guo Suhua and Song Qiaoli. She lived with Grandma Lu, and she could also take care of the old woman.

For more than half a month, this was the first time Su Xinghui slept in the same bed as Lu Xiaoya, which made both of them feel a bit uneasy, but also had some expectations, as if they had returned to their wedding night.

Su Xinghui closed the door, and Lu Xiaoya brought the child over to feed him. After the child finished feeding, she coaxed the child to sleep in the cradle and went to bed. Su Xinghui gently took her into his arms.

Under the gentle pink light of the bedside lamp, Su Xinghui's lips gently kissed Lu Xiaoya's lips. Lu Xiaoya groaned, full of shyness, but after a while, she let go and took the initiative to kiss Su Xinghui's lips.

The two kissed for several minutes before their lips parted. Lu Xiaoya panted heavily, and Su Xinghui lay down with her. His hand touched Lu Xiaoya's body, and Lu Xiaoya's hand also reached toward Su Xinghui's below.

Although the two were as hot as fire, Lu Xiaoya had only given birth for half a month, so Su Xinghui still held back. Lu Xiaoya still used her hands and mouth to help him vent his long-accumulated desire.
