This Emotional Post-Birth Story Has Moved Thousands of Women to Tears
From the outside, pregnancy seems like this magical experience: you carry the baby inside you, [...]
Nurses who understand the simple stuff:
"Immediately after my first was born, the nurse turned to me and said, 'I know you just had a baby, but the hospital kitchen closes in 10 minutes and I can score you some chicken nuggets and fries if we move fast!' I hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours. I wanted to kiss her!!" - Emily L.
"I'm convinced that the nurse who brought me a spray bottle as I sat on the toilet crying after peeing the first time is a saint. I just cried that I couldn't move, the burning shook me so badly so God sent [this] woman [who[ sprayed my crotch while I cried. What would we do without nurses??" - Jasmine A.
prevnextThey live for life's beautiful moments:
"My delivery nurse grabbed my cell phone without me asking and snapped pictures of my boyfriend and I when they first put the baby on my chest. It was honestly one of the sweetest things anyone could've done for me that day. I'll always be thankful for that." - Isabel V.
"When i was pushing, I'll never forget pulling my face away from my nurse's chest to see her scrub top SOAKED with my sweat and tears. I was like, 'Oh my god I'm so sorry!' And she went, 'Baby, this is life all over my shirt. Nowhere else I'd rather be. Now let's get that baby out.' I loved her. I can't wait to be a nurse. - Leigh K.
prevnextThey provide unwavering comfort in difficult times:
"My first daughter was stillborn. The night I was in labor, my nurse brought all of her paperwork in my room. She stayed with me the entire night while I labored. She only left my room when the other nurses absolutely needed her. They helped by covering for her the majority of the night. She cried with me when my daughter was finally born. She made a box of of my daughter's things for me. I have that box of keepsakes to this day.
A year and a half later, when my daughter, Amelia, was born, as soon as she clocked in she ran to my room to meet her. I've never seen this woman before or after (although I had flowers and a card sent to her), but for the rest of my life she will hold a special place in my heart." - Angela W.
"My story may not exactly be the same but after my 2nd miscarriage, I had a wonderful nurse pre/post D&C. Post I woke up groggy, in pain and crying because I had lost my child. While they were getting me settled in my recovery area and getting ready to get my husband, there was one point where she actually laid in my bed and wiped my tears. I had no idea what her name was, and I barely even remember that much. I was so thankful she was there and comforted me while my husband couldn't be." - Caity B.
prevnextThey've truly seen it all:
"No one really talks about those moments after, where your dignity is gone and things you never thought possible are happening to your body and it all hurts and you're in awe and also kinda want to die. The nurses know, and thank Beyoncé for them." —Mandy M
"The 1st time I stood up after vaginally delivering my twins, I lost so much blood you'd think it was a murder scene. My nurse was so calm and kind. She helped me clean myself up, assured me that my seemingly basketball size blood clots were normal, and mopped up my mess. I've never been treated with such compassion." - Autumn W.
