One year after her eldest son passed away unexpectedly, Ms. Guo, 59, in Wuchang, ventured to become pregnant. Yesterday was the first Lantern Festival that Ms. Guo celebrated more than 4 months after giving birth to Hu Zi.

Chutian Metropolis Daily, February 19 (Reporter Zheng Jingjing, Wang Yongsheng, Correspondent Du Weiwei) One year after the eldest son passed away unexpectedly, Wuchang 59-year-old Ms. Guo risked her pregnancy and gave birth to a son in the obstetrics department of Wuhan University People's Hospital on October 16 last year, with the nickname Hu Zi. She is the oldest mother in Hubei Province. After our newspaper exclusively reported her story on November 14 last year, it attracted the attention and heated discussion of millions of netizens within a few days, and many websites forwarded the report.

Yesterday was the first Lantern Festival that Ms. Guo celebrated more than 4 months after giving birth to Hu Zi. In an interview with a reporter from Chutian Metropolis Daily, she said that although it is very hard to raise children when she is old, thanks to the help of all walks of life, the family is so busy that they have hope.

Take your baby to take artistic photos on the Lantern Festival

"Hu Zi, let's take beautiful photos today!" Yesterday, Ms. Guo, 60, and her husband, Mr. Chen, third sister and third brother-in-law, took Hu Zi to a children's photography institution in Wuchang to take artistic photos. Before going out, the four adults each ate a few dumplings, which meant reunion.

started taking photos at 9:30 am. Hu Zi, who is more than 4 months old, is wearing a little gentleman's costume, a small hat, and a grin and smiling. He is very cute. During the more than an hour of shooting, Hu Zi cooperated very well and did not cry. The adults watched and teased each other, their eyes full of love.

"I am old and the physical and energy of raising children is obviously unable to keep up with it." Yesterday, Ms. Guo told reporters with a smile that in the few months after returning home from the confinement center, she mainly took care of her baby, and her husband, Mr. Chen, was responsible for buying vegetables, cooking, and doing some chores. Although Ms. Meng, the third sister who is in a small business, and Mr. Han, the third brother-in-law, are both over 50 years old, they come to help me take care of my children, make dinner, etc. every night.

At the beginning, Hu Zi's biological clock was reversed. Ms. Guo got up at night to feed and coax the child. The wound from the caesarean section hurts again, which was very hard. Fortunately, after a period of running-in, she can sleep for several hours at night. "Hu Zi is very well-behaved. He rarely cries when he wakes up, and does not recognize his child. He loves listening to music very much. Whenever I play music on my phone, he listens attentively. Everyone says that God feels sorry for me and gives me such a good baby."

Premature baby weight and height meets the standard

"Hu Zi is very painful. Every time he bathes him, he giggles..." Ms. Meng said that she and her husband do some small business, and her son is not married, and time is relatively free. "It is not easy for sister and brother-in-law. If we can, we can help me."

Usually, Hu Zi goes to the hospital for physical examination and vaccination. There are four adults together. Mr. Chen is responsible for driving, and the others are rotating to hold Hu Zi. Ms. Guo said that Hu Zi is also the flesh of her big family, and many relatives often ask her and her third sister to post more videos of Hu Zi. In the trivialities of daily life in the past few months, Ms. Guo and her husband gradually had hope, and they were not as painful as the eldest son after his death.

Because it is a premature baby, the tiger son looks a little thin when he was born. Ms. Guo said that she asked whether Director Fan Cuifang, the Department of Obstetrics of Wuhan University People's Hospital, could breastfeed the child. After learning that there was no problem, she insisted on breastfeeding every day. Although it was so painful at the beginning, she also endured it, "I can squeeze dozens of milliliters of breast milk every day, hoping to enhance Hu Zi's immunity."

The weather has been bad during the Spring Festival. Ms. Guo was afraid that Hu Zi would get sick, so she did not take Hu Zi to visit her relatives and stayed at home. A few days ago, they took Hu Zi to the hospital for a physical examination. Hu Zi's height is 63 cm, weighs 6.5 kilograms, and his daily milk volume is hundreds of milliliters. "The doctor said that Hu Zi's height, weight and other indicators have met the standards." Ms. Guo said happily.

Care from all walks of life warms up the couple

In addition to the help of their family, Ms. Guo and his wife also touched them with care from old friends, old neighbors and medical staff. Mr. Chen said that after the story of himself and his wife was reported by Chutian Metropolis Daily last year, many old friends and old neighbors rushed to visit and sent red envelopes.

Ms. Guo also said that some old friends were afraid that they would not be convenient for buying things, so they made a special trip to bring baby carts, daily necessities, etc. After learning about the situation, an old neighbor in his 60s came to his house many times to help her cook, clean, take care of her children, etc.; some old neighbors also arranged several large boxes of old clothes for relatives, friends and children wearing small old clothes, "first to save some money, and secondly, I also hope that Hu Zi will wear 'hundred-family clothes' and grow up safely and healthy."

Director Fan Cuifang of the Obstetrics Department of Wuhan University People's Hospital, who once escorted Ms. Guo's pregnancy and childbirth, has always cared about this special mother. On February 15, she, head nurse of the labor department, Shen Meiyu, and head nurse of the obstetric ward, Hu Huihong, came to Ms. Guo's home for postpartum follow-up. Because Ms. Guo has hypertension and diabetes, Director Fan told her to monitor blood pressure, self-manage diabetes, etc., pay attention to rest in daily life, and seek medical treatment in time if she is discomfort. Ms. Guo was very moved. "The birth of a new life is so magical, it makes people feel that life can start from scratch." Ms. Guo said that although she would cry if her eldest son now wants to cry, after seeing Hu Zi, she told herself to wipe her tears and take care of herself. "We must also raise Hu Zi well and accompany her children to grow up."
