Overseasidol.com — Recently, Chinese actress Zhang Meng opened up about a concerning health scare she experienced while caring for her baby.
In a candid video, she revealed that she noticed blood in her urine after holding it in for nearly two hours due to being occupied with breastfeeding.
Zhang explained that her baby had started crying, and she recognized the cry as a hunger signal. She immediately lay down to nurse him.
However, the feeding took much longer than expected, as the baby nursed intermittently, occasionally chatting and playing.
As a result, Zhang delayed going to the bathroom despite feeling an urgent need. After almost two hours of discomfort, she finally went to relieve herself, only to discover her urine had turned pink, a sign of blood.
She described the pain and pressure as if her bladder was about to burst.
Reflecting on the experience, Zhang urged others, especially fellow mothers, to prioritize their own health.
She stressed that no matter how busy life gets, one must still take just 30 seconds to listen to the body and meet its basic needs.
Ignoring these signals, she warned, could lead to frightening consequences.
Her story resonated with many online, who praised her honesty and related to the daily challenges of balancing caregiving with self-care.
Zhang Meng’s message serves as a heartfelt reminder that taking care of others starts with taking care of oneself.
