Chapter 11: Can Giving Birth Help with Weight Loss?

“Wife, please don’t faint! Tell me your bank card PIN,” Ma Yingshan pleaded desperately.

At this moment, he had a mere 1.23 RMB (Chinese Yuan) left to his name. If he needed money during the surgery, where would he get it?

“The PIN is 919119…”

Finally, just before Luo Xiuhong lost consciousness, she revealed her PIN. Ma Yingshan breathed a sigh of relief and decided to pay some of the fees as soon as they got her into the operating room. After all, any excess payment could be refunded later.

Lu Ming, observing the situation, shook his head. Handing over his entire salary to his wife was a practice he couldn’t quite comprehend. It depended on individual preferences and circumstances. Some people simply didn’t want to deal with finances, and if their wives were efficient and thrifty, it made sense to entrust them with money management.

After all, there were numerous household expenses like gas, electricity, property fees, groceries, and more to handle every month. Managing money meant dealing with all these various expenses.

However, if someone had an unwise or extravagant wife but still wanted to control the family finances, well, that was a different story entirely.

Luo Xiuhong’s sudden condition change prompted Lu Ming to change his plan. He decided to take charge and had Dr. Li from the Obstetrics Department assist him.

Given Luo Xiuhong’s unstable condition, she was considered a critically high-risk expectant mother, almost to the point where she could have been given a red wristband.

“Check the available AB type blood.”

“Contact the blood bank and prepare 6,000 milliliters of AB-type blood. Also, have the hospital vehicle on standby.”

Lu Ming made some preliminary arrangements to ensure they were prepared for any unexpected developments. Once the medical team completed their pre-surgery preparations and observed Luo Xiuhong’s condition one last time:

“Blood is ready.”

“Indwelling catheter is in place.”

“Allergy test passed.”

“Fetal heart rate is normal.”

With everything in order, the anesthesiologist began administering anesthesia. Within half a minute, the anesthesia took effect. Lu Ming and the team began the cesarean section. They hadn’t even considered a natural birth because the cervix was not fully dilated.

The first step was adjusting the position of the expectant mother. Next, they needed to confirm the fetal heart rate, ensuring the baby’s heartbeat was normal.

After confirming no abnormalities, they moved on to the second step: sterilization and draping.

“Scalpel,” Lu Ming requested, and Dr. Li handed him the surgical scalpel. This marked the third step: making the incision through the skin.

Next was the subcutaneous tissue, which consisted of fat. However, as they separated the fat tissue, Lu Ming furrowed his brow slightly.

Then he looked at Luo Xiuhong and said, “Your fat layer is quite thick. Would you like me to remove some of it? It will facilitate the subsequent procedures.”

Because a cesarean section doesn’t involve general anesthesia but rather lower-body anesthesia, Luo Xiuhong was awake.

Although she had been in significant pain earlier, the lower-body anesthesia had alleviated it, and she was feeling better now than before the surgery.

“Oh?” Luo Xiuhong’s eyes lit up. Removing some fat? Essentially, it was like having a liposuction procedure while giving birth.

She was unexpectedly losing weight while having a baby!

“Go ahead! Cut away as much as you want, Doctor!” Luo Xiuhong exclaimed with enthusiasm.

“I may not have much, but I have plenty of fat! If you want it, you can have it all!” Luo Xiuhong humorously offered.

Lu Ming smiled, quite used to this by now. Whenever he mentioned removing some fat to these expectant mothers, they always agreed eagerly. If they weren’t under anesthesia, they might even jump for joy. Trimming away some fat revealed the underlying muscle tissue more clearly.

After completing these initial steps, which involved opening up the abdominal and uterine areas, they moved on to the fourth step. Following the uterine incision, they enlarged it. If the amniotic sac hadn’t ruptured, they would puncture it first to release the amniotic fluid.

In Luo Xiuhong’s case, her amniotic sac had already ruptured, so there wasn’t much amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac.

Once Lu Ming ruptured the amniotic sac, the baby was exposed and gently delivered. He then cut the umbilical cord and handed the newborn to a nurse for further care.

Lu Ming had to wait for Luo Xiuhong’s placenta to be expelled before uterine cleaning. After completing all these steps, the final stage was suturing the incisions. Before suturing, they needed to recheck for any abnormalities in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other relevant areas.

Only when everything was confirmed to be normal could they proceed with the final suturing process? Restoring the structures of the peritoneum, muscles, and other tissues to their original state was essential for proper closure. However, during the suturing process, Lu Ming noticed that Luo Xiuhong’s fat was causing some issues, potentially affecting the quality of the incision closure. So, he once again proposed removing some fat from her abdomen.

“What? You want to cut more?” Luo Xiuhong exclaimed.

“Quickly! Cut away!” She enthusiastically agreed. “For anything related to trimming fat, you don’t need my approval. Go ahead!”

Luo Xiuhong was thrilled at the prospect of losing even more fat during the surgery. Her face lit up with joy, and her smile was wider than the Yangtze River.

With a smile, Lu Ming removed some additional fat for her before completing the suturing. Outside the operating room, Ma Yingshan and Luo Xiuhong’s parents had also arrived. While their parents took the newborn to handle some paperwork, Ma Yingshan remained outside the operating room, eagerly awaiting Luo Xiuhong’s recovery.

Soon, Luo Xiuhong, lying on a gurney and covered with a blanket, was wheeled out of the operating room.

“Honey!” Ma Yingshan called out.

“Quick! Bring the electronic scale from home to the hospital!” Luo Xiuhong urged.

“Quickly!”

“Come on!”

Ma Yingshan was ready to hold his wife’s hand and offer some tender words of comfort. He had even imagined a touching moment where they would gaze at each other, their eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

However, something seemed off. Shouldn’t Luo Xiuhong be exhausted after giving birth? Why did she look so energetic and excited? And why was she asking him to bring the home electronic scale to the hospital?

“Honey, I’ve successfully lost weight!” Luo Xiuhong exclaimed. “Hahaha! I’ve finally lost weight!”

Ma Yingshan was utterly bewildered. Three big red question marks floated above Ma Yingshan’s head.

Weight loss? Weren’t you going in to have a baby? How can you achieve weight loss at a time like this? Can you lose weight while giving birth?
