Chapter Ninety-Eight: Deepening Learning
Under the pick-up and drop-off of the He family, Yin Jie went to work from 9 to 5 as usual.
Given the empathy of Erdmann, one of her bosses, and the verbal approval of Ning Haoran, one of her bosses, she narrowed down her scope of work with interest. You can't waste the kindness of your bosses, right?
In her work, she no longer has new initiatives as before, but has focused the work of the entire department on completing the existing work. For the purpose of training Summer and Flora, she divided several projects that were still in the nurturing stage into two people, and she was responsible for supervising and coordinating them.
As for the team building work that had just started before she became pregnant, she decided to take this opportunity to postpone and observe it first. Although getting together is fate, in principle, she doesn't mind helping the "destined person" or helping her on the way forward, and she doesn't expect anything in return. But Yin Jie admits that she does not have the disease of the Virgin, and she has always paid attention to the "backlash" behavior after helping.
In addition, she doesn't want to think about anything else, she just cares about the baby and enjoys the joy of conceiving a baby wholeheartedly. Just waiting for the day when the melon is ripe and falling, and successfully give birth to the baby of the husband and wife.
When she and He Yuxin heard the wonderful heartbeat of the baby in their womb for the first time through the fetal heart rate monitor, the two of them couldn't help but hold their breath and listen carefully. After a long time, the parents-to-be couldn't help but shed tears.
He Yuxin chose a foreign-funded hospital in the imperial capital for Yin Jie, and after the file was established, Yin Jie began to study systematically as a pregnant mother.
In the past, it was only known that the baby would stay in the mother's womb for nine months before it was born. After this study, she knew how to help her baby get a better pregnancy environment through daily health care and positive interaction with the child's father.
He Yuxin is even more concerned, in addition to mobilizing the whole family to pay close attention to her body, he also specially prepared a diary to record her daily physical and psychological state, so as to provide support from the "child's father" at any time.
Perhaps because of the relaxed work arrangement, Yin Jie's mood is much more stable. Now that the morning sickness is gone, her appetite has become better than ever, and her mouth is very greedy. Now the question is no longer "how can I get her to eat more", but to the other extreme, "not to be overnourished".
In addition to participating in the study organized by the hospital, Yin Jie also spent a lot of time reading books that introduced pregnancy knowledge, and focused on the most important issues:
1. How to keep yourself and your baby safe;
2. How to get enough nutrients for yourself and your baby without overdoing it;
3. How to exercise reasonably during pregnancy to maintain the flexibility of your limbs;
4. How to manage stress during pregnancy.
When it comes to protecting yourself and your baby, most people think about "be careful not to bump into it" when talking about pregnant women, but few people think about "what to do if you bump it".
The attentive mother-in-law had covered the sharp corners of all the tables and cabinets in the house with soft cloth, and had also laid a thick carpet in their bedroom. After three and a half months of pregnancy, Yin Jie began to train himself on this thick carpet to deal with falls, and He Yuxin was shocked to see it on the sidelines.
"You're pretty much done, aren't you? He knelt to the side, his hands outstretched as a gesture of protection.
Yin Jie wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and replied with a smile: "Isn't this something you are protecting?" Don't worry, I will take my time with every action and won't hurt myself." I have to practice several times to form muscle memory, otherwise I am worried that I will be confused in a hurry in the event of an accident, and it will be bad if I can't remember. ”
The frightened classmate He had no choice but to continue to cooperate with the protection, and he was already sweating after the practice.
"That's okay today, and I'll practice a few more times tomorrow. Alright, help me up!" Yin Jie commanded. At this time, the sound of He's mother asking them to go out to eat came from the living room.
He Yuxin slowly helped Yin Jie up, and the two walked out slowly.
As for how to consume nutrients without excess, many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law will inadvertently ignore it. Yin Jie once read a report that it was said that the family was overnourished when their daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the fetus was too big to be delivered smoothly. When I was going to have a laparotomy, I couldn't hear the fetal sound because the abdominal fat was too thick, and after the laparotomy, I had a lot of trouble because of the fat leakage from the incision...
Yin Jie was very worried about the serious changes in his body shape after giving birth, which caused him to be unable to work after confinement. With her help, her cousin, who is an internal medicine doctor in the Y Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specially sent her a set of imaging materials. Yin Jie took his mother-in-law to study with him whenever he was free.
Only then did He's mother know that overnutrition during pregnancy will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, affect iron absorption, and in severe cases, it will also cause poisoning in pregnant women. She was taken aback. I thought that it was normal for pregnant women to have swollen lower limbs, obesity, and dull minds, but who knew that they were all related to overnutrition. Not to mention that overfilling may lead to a fetus that is too large and poses a risk of birth.
Mother He is a reasonable person, and from that day on, she followed the guidance in the materials to adjust Yin Jie's recipes in the second and third trimesters. It is said that He's mother is also very curious, pregnant women often have all kinds of strange reactions, such as morning sickness, such as laziness, such as sudden changes in taste, and then simply change their temperament. Yin Jie's strange reaction is really less, only in the first trimester there was a period of morning sickness, and then the temperament is still smooth, and there is no peculiar taste change (Yin Jie said doggedly: It's because the mother-in-law cooks so delicious...) Many of her preparations were basically useless.
Before she became pregnant, Yin Jie had been practicing yoga with Doudou and Ivy at the fitness club near her office, which not only exercised her body, but also connected with friendship, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. She consulted with her doctor and learned that practicing yoga during pregnancy has many benefits, not only for weight control, but also for cardiopulmonary exercise, physical flexibility, pelvic adjustment, and childbirth. The yoga instructor, who had already developed a "class friendship" with three girls, also chose some simpler movements and pranayama meditations for her situation, and customized a simple and soothing set of pregnancy yoga for her.
So Yin Jie started a 30-minute walk + 30-minute yoga exercise day every day. After the pregnancy was confirmed, she stopped exercising for nearly 2 months, and now she feels like her bones are about to rust. Under He Yuxin's protection, she practiced this set of pregnant women's yoga for a few days before she felt her body slowly relax.
As for psychological regulation during pregnancy. After the Shenzhen meeting, Yin Jie was like the two veins of the governor had been opened, her mood was much more cheerful and open-minded, and she slowly began to get used to focusing on the overall situation in everything, and no longer delved into the details. Therefore, even the occasional thrill of her heart beating at work or in life does not cause her any panic. In fact, it is understandable, just like looking at the earth from an airplane, or looking down on the street from the top of a high-rise building, the whole picture of nature is touched by the eyes, and the focus is on things that deserve more attention.
In terms of practical issues, first, her worries about Ning Haoran's madness have faded. She did her job and communication conscientiously, and understood and comforted Ning Haoran's inexplicable outburst of intense emotions. I don't know if it was because of her tolerance, or because of the kindness that still existed in Ning Haoran's heart, no conflict broke out between them, but began to develop in the direction of harmony.
Second, when the customer's rude request occasionally caused her mood to fluctuate, Yin Jie immediately used "The physiological reaction is very strong, it seems that my baby is very lively today" to calm herself down, and then come up with a proper solution.
Mao Shunlin is a good example: according to the agreement between the two parties, the LS headquarters recruited a better candidate for Mu Lin and asked him for a video interview, and he actually asked Yin Jie to fly to Ningbo to serve as an interpreter in this video conference! Yin Jie calmed his emotions and organized a three-way video conference, with Summer as the conference interpreter, and he was responsible for observing and making suggestions to Mao Shunlin. But as soon as the meeting ended, she communicated with Zhang Qian on the phone and explained her situation, and it is estimated that Mao Shunlin will not make such unreasonable requests in the future.
All in all, after the Shenzhen meeting, Yin Jie felt that he had taken a big step forward in the way of dealing with people and his work temperament. Even if the other party is playing tricks, she can see it, but she communicates or counterattacks in a righteous way, and the effect is actually quite good.
Based on the above reasons, Yin Jie does not believe that he will have symptoms of prenatal depression. She is mentally prepared to be a mother, and she is ready to accept all the joys or troubles that may arise during the process of conceiving a child.
At the same time, she found that He Yuxin's classmates were also changing. After walking with her every night and doing yoga with her, He Yuxin went to the large terrace outside the study alone to practice dumbbells, handstands, and planks.
She happened to see a new "Daddy Backpack" next to He Yuxin's desk, and found a stack of new books on the table:
"Pregnant with My Wife"
"Psychology of Pregnancy"
American Academy of Pediatrics' Parenting Encyclopedia
Sears Intimate Parenting Encyclopedia
"Love and Freedom", "Capturing Children's Sensitive Period", "Complete Growth" (Sun Ruixue's three works)
Positive Discipline
Parental Effectiveness Handbook
Among them, "Pregnancy Psychology" and "Pregnancy with My Wife" were obviously flipped, and the red tassels of the bookmarks were missing.
Yin Jie's heart swelled with a burst of heat, his eyes were a little sour, and he couldn't tell whether he was moved, proud or something else. That night, He Yuxin was delighted to find that his wife had become more and more tender.
One day in the fourth month of pregnancy, He Yuxin was helping Yin Jie, who had finished yoga, to bed, and Yin Jie suddenly froze. After a while, he said in disbelief: "Husband, the baby has moved..."
He Yuxin hurriedly put his hand on Yin Jie's belly, and was kicked twice by the baby through the belly. Yuxin.He immediately became a fool. After the silly music was finished, he reached out to find a kick, but he didn't know whether he was tired or asleep again, or he despised his father's stupidity, so he didn't move.
He Yuxin was greatly disappointed: "Why didn't he move?" The implication was that he wanted his son to kick himself a few more times.
Yin Jie chuckled: "The baby is still young now, he doesn't have much strength, he has to rest for half a day if he kicks it! ”
When sleeping at night, He Yuxin always put his hand on Yin Jie's stomach.
In the early morning of the next day, He Yuxin woke up and said happily: "Wife, the baby is moving again!"
Yin Jie was sleepy, and said with a calm face: "I know." I was kicked awake by him. She looked at the child's father's smiling stupid face, reached out and pulled his cheeks, and his handsome face was pulled into a large cake.
The couple unanimously decided that it was time to start prenatal education for the baby. So, every night at 7-9 o'clock when the baby is easier to move, He Yuxin will recite a few Tang poems and Song lyrics in a soothing tone, and Yin Jie is responsible for choosing soothing and soft music for him.
After a while, Yin Jie found that the baby was more active when playing piano music and guqin music. On the contrary, when playing electronic music that claims to be pregnant, accompanied by the sound of rain, birdsong, and running water, the baby rarely seems to respond.
"This baby is elegant in the womb, and it deserves to be our child!
He Yuxin turned into the brainless blow of the unborn He Baobao in seconds, and his proud appearance was unbearable to witness.
However, where Yin Jie couldn't see, He Yuxin was thinking: What does he want his son to be like?
He thinks this because he has been stimulated recently.
