I Sent My Mother $1.5 Million Pesos Every Month to Care for My Wife After Childbirth — Then I Came Home Early and Found Her Eating Spoiled Rice With Fish Heads

13. We Sought Proper Support for Hue

The following morning, I took Hue to see her doctor.

I explained that she had not been eating properly and that I was worried about her recovery.

The doctor examined her and discussed her nutrition, rest, and postpartum care.

He explained that recovery after childbirth requires attention to a mother’s individual health needs.

A balanced diet, sufficient fluids, and adequate rest can all play important roles.

He also reminded us that any unusual symptoms or concerns should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

I listened carefully and wrote down the recommendations.

After the appointment, I arranged for fresh groceries to be delivered regularly.

We also discussed getting additional help at home so that Hue would not have to manage everything alone.

For the first time in weeks, she seemed more relaxed.

She told me she felt relieved that she could finally speak openly without worrying about another argument.
