She has always believed that as a modern woman, it is important to be able to return to work quickly and take care of her family. However, she ignores the fact that the postpartum body is so fragile that it takes time and proper care to recover.

Although she endured the exhaustion and threw herself into household chores and work, she began to notice that her physical condition was not as good as she expected. She felt tired, often had symptoms of dizziness and even felt an uncomfortable tugging sensation in her lower abdomen on some days.
At home, despite Li Ting's efforts to show a strong side, her husband, Zhang Wei, begins to notice that something is wrong with her. Zhang Wei advised her many times to slow down and take a good rest, but Li Ting always rejected him with a tone of "I'm fine". Li Ting's deep worries and uneasiness made her even more obsessed with proving her abilities, and she was unwilling to admit that her body needed time to recover.
Doctors usually recommend that postpartum women rest for at least 42 days as this is a critical period for the body to recover. During this time, the uterus, pelvic floor muscles, and other parts of the body are gradually recovering。Neglecting this process can lead to long-term health problems, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pain, and even more serious complications.
