In recent years, there have been many discussions on the issue of female fertility, and the topic of "maternal dignity" has been understood by more and more people. Recently, a Korean drama about postpartum conditioning for postpartum mothers was aired. The bitterness and sorrow that new mothers have to endure was brought to the screen for the first time -
"Postpartum conditioning hospital"
2 episodes of this drama aired, with a Douban score of 8.6, and many viewers expressed that it resonated in the comment area. The heroine Wu Xianzhen (Yan Zhiyuan) is 42 years old this year. She is the youngest executive in a cosmetics company and the oldest pregnant woman in the department where she is treating her.
Even though he was pregnant, Wu Xianzhen still did not give up on work. She was working overtime with her colleagues two days before her due date, and even went to discuss cooperation with customers in person in high heels.
Because she is too busy, her husband (played by Yin Bo) takes the prenatal classes on her behalf.
Wu Xianzhen was raised since childhood. After the family went bankrupt, she made several times more efforts than others. She fought at night when others watched the World Cup, and was silly when she was rejected by customers, and finally got to where she is today.
However, such a decisive woman becomes helpless and fragile when facing childbirth, and loses the "dignity of being a human being".
24 hours before delivery, Wu Xianzhen was admitted to the hospital for delivery. She described the process of giving birth as four stages. The first stage is a humiliation period. The nurse will come to help with enema and shave hair. A male doctor will take the intern to check the opening of the cervix.
Although the patient is just a case in the eyes of doctors, for the mother, the shame brought by taking turns to check the vagina and fiddling with the body is huge.
The humiliation period is after the wild beast period, and the mother must endure the ups and downs of the pain. At this stage, even an iron-blooded officer like Wu Xianzhen, who was still indifferent to his face after his amniotic fluid was broken, could only whine to "give me a painkiller needle."
This is nothing, the real battlefield is when you get into the delivery bed. After all, Wu Xianzhen was old and her production process was not going smoothly, so she was almost taken away by the Hell Messenger. Fortunately, she was determined and finally survived and gave birth to a (ugly) fat boy.
After giving birth, a bigger test is still to come.
Wu Xianzhen was escorted by her mother to drink the harsh kelp soup because it is said to be lactation-prone. But in fact, what she wanted to drink the most at this time was ice American - since she became pregnant, she has lost the right to drink ice American freely.
For this reason, she avoided her mother and secretly ran downstairs to buy a glass of ice American. Unexpectedly, a woman who had just finished giving birth in the same elevator as her was incontinent because of a sneeze, which scared her to overturn her coffee.
And the mother got off the elevator first on the lower floor, leaving only Wu Xianzhen to face a group of colleagues who came to visit her after the floor arrived.
social death scene is just like this.
After lying in the hospital for a day, Wu Xianzhen and her husband set off for the postpartum conditioning hospital (which is commonly known as the "confinement center") confinement .
After all, it costs a lot of money. The postpartum conditioning yard is full of flowers everywhere, and the environment is comparable to that of the courtyard; the service is also exquisite and in-house. The dean personally receives it, and the tea drinks are prepared with the highest level herbal tea .
But these are just appearances. After moving in, Wu Xianzhen gradually came into contact with the "dark" side of the conditioning house.
The first thing I encountered was the breastfeeding problem. Wu Xianzhen's nipples are not the most suitable shape for children to suck, so even though Wu Xianzhen really wants to feed the child breast milk in person, the child is not grateful, and she can only secretly feel sad.
mother who has difficulty breastfeeding is in the lower level of the conditioning ward. When Wu Xianzhen arrived at the breastfeeding room for the second time, the mother next door even sat on the other side and did not sit with her.
Yes, there are people in the places where there are people. Mothers in postpartum conditioning hospitals gather together, and naturally a small society will be formed. According to the level of "Snow Country Train", the first-class train is young, rich, full-time mothers with fertility experience and the most parenting information.
And an elderly working mother like Wu Xianzhen is naturally in the last low-level carriage.
Postpartum conditioning hospital TOP mother is Xiaoai mother (played by Park Ha Sun). Unfortunately, Wu Xianzhen had a bond with Xiao Ai's mother as soon as she came in - Xiao Ai's mother was the mother who made Wu Xianzhen embarrassed in the elevator. But Xiao Ai's mother looked completely like "I can't understand what you are saying", which made Wu Xianzhen really angry and had nowhere to vent.
In addition, the conflict between the two also occurs in the differences in concepts.
Full-time mothers represented by Xiao Ai Mother believe that only traditional full-time mothers who insist on breastfeeding and taking care of their children at home and around the clock can be considered "real" mothers. If they have to return to work after confinement, they are a manifestation of not loving their children enough.
This made Wu Xianzhen feel rejected. With the pressure of breastfeeding, she finally softened her attitude and asked Xiao Ai’s mother for peace.
In order to add the first class car, I rushed!
On the first day Wu Xianzhen started, a new mother who broke the order came to the conditioning yard. This young mother, who is dressed in hip-hop and is doing highlights, has announced since she announced: I don’t want breastfeeding, and I choose to feed her with all milk powder.
This is simply blatantly challenging the natural maintenance law believed in by the conditioning institute! What changes will this bring to the conditioning house and Wu Xianzhen’s life? Let's wait and see.
One of the tags of "Postpartum Conditioning House" is "comedy", but after watching the two episodes, in addition to the deliberately exaggerated plots, many plots actually reflect a lot of reality, which makes people sigh at the hardships of being a mother.
The most realistic point is that after giving birth, the weakest moment for mothers, but at this time they often don’t get the attention of their families - they all care about the newborn. While Wu Xianzhen was lying on the bed and longing for a sip of water, her husband and in-laws were gathering around the cradle to admire the baby.
or Wu Xianzhen's mother came over to moisten her lips a little, which relieved her discomfort.
Another point that is constantly emphasized in the play is that women lose their personal identity after giving birth and become "xx's mother".
In the conditioning house, everyone's position and achievements in society are no longer important. What is important is whether you have held a grand fetal welcome banquet; have you ever done advanced prenatal education for your child before giving birth; do you have enough milk to feed your child...
The baby's needs are higher than the mother's own needs, as if the mother should live for her own children.
But the episode has not yet shown what position he holds on this point of view, and it is still unknown whether Wu Xianzhen will be brainwashed by this view in the end.
The conditioning hospital ecology presented in "Postpartum Conditioning Hospital" can be said to restore the current intra-roll baby raising situation. In order to give your children the best, mothers are generally anxious just to squeeze into the "first class car".
Whether it is for parents who have given birth or for men and women who have not yet given birth, this drama is very worth watching. Because only by fully understanding the difficulties of women in giving birth can couples make the right choice to have children, which is very important for the entire family and society.
