Chapter 755: Chapter 758: Doing the ‘Confinement Period’ Abroad
David Redington frowned and got up.
“What’s the matter?” He lowered his voice, afraid of waking Lily Gray.
The nurse saw the young CEO standing in front of the sickbed like a protective animal.
Despite his authoritative airs, she still carried out her duties diligently and explained her visit, “Sir, miss needs to go to the bathroom for a shower, and I’m here to wake her.”
“She just fell asleep not long ago, why wake her up?”
Redington did not allow the nurse to come closer, expressing sternly, “A woman who has just given birth is not suitable for a bath.”
Redington didn’t understand a woman’s matters. All his knowledge about the confinement period came from prior experiences of Lily Gray giving birth.
The plump foreign female nurse in her thirties responded with a strange look in her eyes upon hearing this.
“Sir, how can a woman who has just given birth not take a bath? She has sweated a lot during childbirth. Sweat sticking to the body can breed bacteria. Also, how can a mother breastfeed her baby if her body is not clean? Please, sir, you need to leave. A woman who has just given birth must bathe. We have important tasks to handle.”
The nurse assertively got past Redington and woke up Lily Gray directly.
Redington wanted to stop her but was held back by Annabella.
“Young Master, don’t worry. Here in foreign countries, women who have given birth naturally can be discharged from the hospital as long as there are no complications. People here are different from those in Eastonia; they don’t need a confinement period. Scientific recovery and nourishment are sufficient. Rest assured, the doctors and nurses will take good care of Miss Gray. It was the same when madam gave birth to you,” she reassured.
Annabella had been working in the Redington family for a long time and was well versed in the customs of Europe and America.
During Lily’s pregnancy, her intake and exercise were all sufficient; her body was also very healthy.
Just by looking at her glowing complexion after a good sleep from giving birth to twins, you can tell that childbirth didn’t impact her much this time.
As expected, when Lily Gray was woken up by the nurse and heard that she had to take a bath, she remembered the pregnant women she had met in the community.
Some of them were able to take baths right after giving birth and even strolled in the community park in skirts the next day.
Indeed, they were different from women in her home country.
“Miss Redington, please rest assured, your body is recovering very well. While you were resting, we have already checked the vital signs for both you and your babies, all of you are in good health. Now, you need to take a shower, change into a clean set of clothes, and have a delicious meal. Try to breastfeed your babies within three hours.”
“You should know, breast milk is very important. If your milk supply is insufficient to feed both little ones adequately, we can provide you with high-quality milk from our human milk bank.”
Foreign countries are extremely insistent on breastfeeding. Unless absolutely necessary, they do not advise mothers to use combined milk sources.
Lily Gray found this experience, where she was not being treated as a key protected subject after giving birth, very new and comfortable.
The last time she gave birth to Ben was premature, and she also had heavy bleeding.
But this time was different. Although she went into labor early, the delivery went smoothly, and within a few hours, she gave birth to two babies.
She also didn’t like the style of being bedridden, unable to touch water or do anything after giving birth.
Moreover, she felt that she now liked the way she was being treated like an ordinary person by the nurses.
This made her feel as if she had unconsciously grown stronger.
“OK, I’m going to take a shower now.” Lily Gray cooperated, and Redington could only be driven out.
After taking a shower as instructed by the nurse, she dried herself in the bathroom, fully dried her hair, and changed into clean pajamas before coming out.
Lily Gray felt considerably more relaxed.
