Kimberly Sparrow ask as soon as you feel uncomfortable pain. Sometimes they take about 45 minutes to work I’ve had two babies 😁 also, it might take the anesthesiologist some time to get to you. You don’t want to wait until you’re in too much pain. Generally they let you when you’re about 4 cm. I hope this helps hun have a safe delivery!
DOEDOETATTED Yup! One of my nurses was awful and announced to my mum, husband, and cousin (aka everyone in the room) that I had pooped, and then DIDNT WIPE IT AWAY. I had to literally yell and ask them to clean it because I was uncomfortable before they bothered to.
Exactly cause I had a nurse who I told I didn’t like cause I was so much in pain that the nurse went and called social worker on me because I said something while I was in pain about her but all I said was that I didn’t like her so no not all nurses are kind and heartfelt
@@amandamartinez2067 maybe she never really wanted to end up as a delivery nurse but had to pay the bills? Or maybe she was new and didn't yet understand enough?
I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT THIS MORNING. Edit: omg, guys, i love y'all. I'm 7 months now! 3rd trimester babes. Baby is healthy and so is mommy ❤️ AND ITS A BOY!
Congratulations! Welcome to the club. Hang in there, the nausea goes away. You know that "glow" they talk about? It's internal. It comes from seeing the bump grow and feeling the baby wiggle 😄
This video should be part of every labor & delivery RN degree program. Preface the video with "if you don't have this attitude, find another career." You are awesome.
I’m 40 yrs old, 27 weeks pregnant with a boy. My first pregnancy and I’m absolutely terrified of all the things that can go wrong. Your video helped calm me down and answered a few questions. Thank you! I hope I get a nurse as awesome as you!
I'm so happy to hear everyone's fine! I'm on the track to be an old first time if ever mom too. I'm already 35 and I still can't even really imagine getting pregnant. Used to have an outright phobia of it and I more want to want to have a child than would actually want one
Me 💯 just because I’m not a person to apologize for how I feel and I know I’m going to cuss everybody out not being mean just swearing cause it’s natural to cuss reacting to pain, and I know a lot of the nurses may have a problem with that.
Just based on this video alone I know she's a great labor nurse. 👏👏👏👏 I had a nurse just like you when my first born was on his way. She even massaged my swollen legs and wiped my lady bits when I used the restroom. She was right by my side the entire time and was so encouraging. She was so sweet, I will never forget her.
thanks for sharing this. this is reassuring to hear as my first will be due in August. I feel so embarrassed at the thoughts of those things, but will try not to. nurses are angels on earth. at least yours sound like one.
@@Drymouth11 I was super embarrassed! lol but with the amount of pain I was in the embarrassment went away and I just wanted to be taken care of and they did just that. You have nothing to worry about and if you do always voice your concerns and ask all the questions! You'll do an amazing job and I hope you have a smooth delivery :).
I'm just engaged and have no idea when we'll be ready for a baby, I just like researching this stuff cuz being a woman with the body parts to make babies, I just feel it's a good idea to be prepared for whenever it might happen 💗
Mikayla Martinez you’ll find *at least* one nurse that will be stuck in your mind for ages for being genuine and sweet to you. Good luck & prayers for safe delivery!!🥰♥️
I’ve been in women’s health for 10 years , 8 of which were spent on L&D and absolutely everything you said was exactly correct!! Loved this and will definitely share!
I feel like you're setting the standards really high for us, lol. If I get a nurse any less compassionate and caring than you, I'll be disappointed lol.
@@michelles4403 Well I also commend doctors as well. You guys are always on the move. I often wonder do doctors ever sleep 😂😂😂 I appreciate doctors too❤️
This came up recommended out of no where (I mean..I am 39 weeks) and i was so worried that I was going to find out things that I had to seriously reconsider or that this was going to be condescending but this was SO ENCOURAGING. I know it's an old video but thank you for making this for us new mommas. I feel a little less scared now. 🤍
I know this is an old video but my nurse stayed over her shift time to deliver my daughter. She got sprayed in amniotic fluid as my daughter came out and after she showered she came back and hugged us and kissed my cheek. It was my first delivery and I was terrified! She was the best nurse I have ever had anywhere other than my OB nurse. We even have a picture with her framed in our living room. Labor and delivery nurses rock!!!
This! 🙌🏻 my nurse also got sprayed with a bunch of blood! All over the her, the wall, everything! She was young. I was scared but she kept so calm and stayed! My daughter was already delivered and the main doctor had to raise her voice for her to go get a shower. She also came back and was so sweet. I honestly miss her she was that sweet 😂💕
My nurse stayed 6 hours over when she had already worked 12 hours straight! She was amazing & didn’t even care that I pee’d on her when she broke my water🙈 She was practically my third support person (I had my husband & mom with me) & rocked!
I had one nurse that was sooooo good with my colicky baby I couldn't swaddle her tight enought this woman came In swaddled her BOOM! My baby coo,d herself back to sleep some of these ladies really do have a true gift💖💖💖
Giirl I wish Jamaican Labour Nurses were like this. Omg. They're not even the slightest bit compassionate. I was just crying cause I wanted to go home so bad. Hated my whole experience. Thank God we made it out safe.🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
“Poop everywhere for all I care” - Thank you from a mom who pooped while pushing. Super grateful for the nurse who had to wipe while keeping a straight face, I adore you!
@@kylie3580 When I had my second baby it was in a military hospital. A male medic was doing the nurse thing on the end where the poop happens. I was mortified!! Even worse was that that medic was in church the Sunday my baby got baptized. So embarrassing. That was 48 years ago:-)
I’m due in September and this makes me feel so reassured and at ease. Thank you. Nurses are some of the most kind, compassionate and INCREDIBLE people. 💗💗
I’m due October 2021 and I have so many worries about my delivery. I hope I get a nurse as kind as you. I’m a CNA so I know what a big difference it makes to have a good nurse when you’re vulnerable and need help... especially going to the bathroom or in this case pushing a baby out of your lady bits. This answered a lot of questions! Thank you!
I was so scared to poop 😂😭 and when I gave birth I pooped! I asked my nurse did I poo during birth? She looked at me and said no, you did beautiful. I asked my husband and he said yes you did shit 🤦🏻♀️
Same. I asked my nurse if I pooped and she didn't answer so I asked her again and she said no. I said I know I did because I can smell it. Lol. Nobody in the room acknowledged it. Haha
I'm 5 months now with my first baby. I came across your vlog and I can't be happier. I'm getting anxious from reading all these protocols and restrictions due to Covid, and your positive mindset and friendly personality really helped calm me down. God bless you and I hope all nurses are like you around the world!
Wow, number 6 was triggering. I remember with my first birth I did not know that and my baby's heartbeat was not doing well and I was so scared and I felt so alone. While all along, a few rooms further, someone was always watching and keeping an eye on me and my baby. I actually had therapy to get over the trauma of my first birth and that knowledge was one of the healing factors. The second time around it was so reassuring to know that there was always someone watching us. So thank you for letting new mum's to be know!
I wish you had been my nurse. #1.) I cursed with my first labor and the nurse told me that it wasn't necessary. Yup. 15 yrs later I'm still annoyed by that.
I had that issue with the second baby. She came super fast and I felt like someone stuck my hoo hoo with a hot iron I cursed and the nurse said "this isn't your first, don't be a baby about it" I almost punched her.
I was treated the same way. I was treated like a nuisance and completely ignored by the nurses. I was treated as if I was invisible and not even in the room.
I wish all nurses were as nice and patient as her. She’s someone who seems she actually likes her job. I’ve had the misfortune to come across medical professionals who are completely rude to you without reason.
I’m a nurse and I’ve seen that too. It sucks for us nurses when we see and have to work with these people too. Why get into nursing if you don’t have compassion to share.
@@saraboenisch8911 I'm a nurse too and I TOTALLY agree with everything you just said. Some people should not be in the profession. It hurts me to see those rude people making patients feel bad. I just want to slap them, I usually verbally slap them really well!
I had AWFUL experiences at OB triage while in labor, it was terrible during labor of both of my children. But the actual labor and delivery nurses were much kinder and more helpful. I had lovely postpartum nurses!! There are definitely people who are more suited for the profession
I had a rude hospice doctor/nurse? Idk it was 1am and the hospital was empty. The on call doctor wasn’t there when I got there and I was crowning. I wanted to push so bad but the doctor/nurse lady wanted me to keep my knees pointed at the ceiling until the OB got there AND when I screamed in pain she told me to be quiet because i was scaring the other women. The pain was intense and my 8lb son tore me up!😂😬 My left side RN was awesome through the screaming tho. I ended up letting my knees fall outward and my son came right out. 2 months later I got a refund check because an OB wasn’t in the room when my son was born. I should have saved myself the painful ride to the hospital and prolonged birthing experience and just had my son at home.
I labored the whole 12 hr shift with this one particular nurse... at 7pm she reported off to the evening nurse and we said good bye. As she was on her way out to leave for the night (about 15 mins later) she passed our room and noticed I had just started pushing (finally!).. you know that nurse came right in, coat on and pocketbook in hand and cheered me on until the baby was born (luckily it was only a few pushes and 10 mins later). what an angel! i will always remember that!
When I worked L&D, I always stayed if my patient was anywhere remotely close to delivering! Nothing made us more upset than having to leave after you’ve spent 12 long, hard hours with a woman and you don’t get to see the baby-the end result! Lol-plus, of course, we all want to get to hold our babies that we helped come into the world!
Denise Bone that is so sweet. I’m a nurse as well.. I work adult icu and it’s soo much sorrow a lot of the time. I always think how wonderful it must be to delivery babies into the world everyday for a living ☺️
Aww I had a traumatizing labor and delivery and I had a nurse her name was angel. She was the only nurse that was nice to me actually and she got off shift and she waited 2 hours til my emergency c section was done and she was the only one who came to see me in recovery and I just about bawled lol. I WAS SO ALONE! and in the recovery room my husband had to be with our daughter in nicu and when I saw her as she came and squeezed my hand and she apologized for how my labor and delivery went and how traumatizing it was I just looked at her and was like you have no idea I couldn’t have done this without your support so thank you. I never saw her again and I’m praying I see her this time around 4 years Later but we will see. I’m going for a scheduled c section this time so I don’t know how many nurses I’ll have but I hope I can see angel!
Having my baby in December and I’m terrified of laboring at a hospital like I’ve heard such horror stories I really pray my nursing staff is friendly and cooperative
Thank you for this! I wish I had known some of these before I had my first. Having had 5 babies I've dealt with a lot of nurses, and I'd have to say that the nurses in l&d have always been the kindest, sweetest, calmest people I've meet, especially under the intense pressure of making sure everything goes smoothly and I don't think you guys get enough credit!
I wish you could be my nurse, you're just AMAZING!😢 I had a horrifying experience when I was 15 weeks pregnant, woke up in a pool of blood and when I got to the hospital I was checked and I wasn't even warned that she would stick her finger inside me and she did it so roughly. After she checked me she just said "You had a miscarriage" with no emotion whatsoever and walked away. I was in tears and couldn't believe that someone could be so cold. I didn't want to accept that my baby was gone and so I sat up and put my hand on my belly and pleaded with God to please fix whatever went wrong. I was admitted and kept praying to God to save my baby. The bleeding stopped and only later that night the gynacologist was available and did an ultrasound and there my baby was sucking his thumb looking so perfect and I cried with relieve that he was okay 😢💙 I am so grateful that I am now 31 weeks pregnant and will meet my little one very soon. I just pray that God assigns caring and lovely nurses to help me deliver my baby.💙
As a person that doesn’t want kids... how can anyone plan on having no drugs? Like... the pain is gonna be excruciating, and I can’t even handle heavy-ish period pain (luckily rare) What kinda super humans manage without pain medication when you know it’s available??
Can you be my labor nurse?! I’m tearing up just knowing how supportive you are for mother’s in labor! Please continue to do what you do and just love on those mothers in labor. I’m super appreciative of the video and you being the awesome nurse and person you are. 💜
5 months in with my first progressing pregnancy! This was very helpfully 🥰 thank you! Baby dust to all and healthy full term deliveries for those also expecting ❤️
I am so grateful for all of the changes that have taken place over the past 20 yrs regarding delivery and laboring mothers. Having supportive nurses make such a HUGE difference during labor & delivery. I was young(19) and scared to death. One of my nurses made me feel like a complete failure because I asked for an epidural.
I had a stillborn 01.19.18. I called my dr because I knew something was off. I was right!!! But I’m currently 7weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby!! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!!!
I'm less than 5 weeks out with my first, and I am extremely choked up watching this video. GOD BLESS YOU NURSES!!! I only hope to have a team of ladies who are as patient and loving as you are. Thank you so much for what you do. Thank you for sharing these tips with me before my big day and I'm going to get cards today for all the nurses that will help me bring my beautiful Bea into the world.
I just had my baby a month and half now and I had the most amazing nurses especially the nurse that had to deliver my baby. She was amazing. It's so real how calm these nurses are. When you're in pain they have such soothing voices to calm you down & help you through this whole process of labor and birthing.
Hi - just wanted to say - i had a horrendous labour and this video was what i needed to hear! Because of covid, i am unable to visit my hospital with a heartfelt thankyou note or gift - but nearly months on from the birth of my baby girl, and i am in absolute awe of nurses, doctors midwives -everyone in your line of work for how you make a difference to peoples lives, every hour of every day. Im here in the uk, and as i say my labour was not straight forward. It was long, exhausting, and i wasnt allowed pain relief until i dilated and my waters could be broke -long story short that barely came after several hours and my daughter had to be delivered vy emergency c-section. This video is what i needed to hear, even though im on the other side. You are truly incredible for what you do. Please know that even people you havent impacted face to face, still respect and admire everything you do. Take care - especially in these difficult times - You are amazing!
I would give anything to have you as my delivery nurse!! God bless you and all the hard and compassionate work that you do. I wish all nurses were as kind and lovely as you ❤️🙏
Cause you are a good guy. Drawing from personal experience... get the car cleaned out if needed and install the car seat before going to the hospital. I say this because the trip home from the hospital is something I've never actually got over and made me loose serious respect and trust in his dependability (again this could just be me. I like to know things are covered and taken care of especially when I ask a person to their face if they completed said task) Don't make her set the new baby in the front seat so she can help you fight with the car seat and move crap around in the car...also cleaning person for a few times a month if it works in the budget.
I was a support person for a friend who is 3 ft 3in tall (her husband is 6 ft 6in tall) and we asked many questions. No one ever made us feel less than informed. We made the staff a huge thank you card for the child's first birthday too.
Labor and delivery nurses are seriously, hands down, some of the best people in.the.world. I loved your video so much. I laughed, I felt your warmth and authentic care - truly lovely. There's also something about your energy while listening to you that reminded me of the labor and delivery nurses I've had. Thank you for all that you do, and thank you for this lovely video!
Good luck with your upcoming delivery ! I have two July babies . I was so miserable because it’s so hot here but now I’m due in December and I’m scared about having baby in the winter 😅 like how can I keep this baby warm !?😅
@@holleyb1856 Hats and socks/mittens are your best friend here. Babies lose a lot of heat through the top of their head, and the toes are small. Keep those warm, and always have an extra balnket on hand. I keep a spare in the carseat AND in the car. The car one is much larger than a baby blanket, but it's thick. (That one is mainly for whoever gets cold in the car, or if the car has a problem and we're stuck on the side of the road, but it makes an excellent extra layer over a carseat.) Keep 2 spares of hat/mittens/socks in the diaper bag. Better to be over prepared than under. :)
For all of you wonderful people here that are expecting children, I have a few tips for you! :) 1: have your clean diaper prepped and a wipe pulled out before opening up the dirty one. It makes changing much faster, and reduces the opportunity for accidents/'fountains'. 2: Doggie clean up bags are much cheaper. Ross usually has packs of 16 rolls for $5-ish. Keep a roll or two in your diaper bag/changing pad, and toss the dirty diaper in one whenever you change your kid while out and about. The janitors for the place will thank you. 3: Keep at least 2 outfits in your diaper bag and a spare blanket in the carseat. Accidents happen, temperatures fluctuate. Better to be prepared than have a cold baby. There have been times we have gone through three outfits (the one he was wearing AND both spares), and had that back-up blanket to help keep him warm while we've been out and about. 4: cloth diapers make fantastic burp rags! They are designed to be absorbent, so they'll keep stuff from soaking through or rolling off. I've had several people gift me nice burp rags from the store; the rags don't do squat. Nothing worse than being at a store or restaurant burping your baby, and having the entirety of the urp roll right off that cloth and down your back. Save yourself some trouble (and lots of laundry) and get some cloth diapers. They may not be cute, but that's what ribbon/edging/crochet and small appliqué are for. (And personally, I prefer function over aesthetic.) 5: if you don't want stains on stuff, Scotch Guard is your best friend. Spray it, let it dry, and you're good for a couple months. Babies are messy. There's no getting around it. If you want those cute white/pastel outfits to stay the same color, find some Scotch Guard. I use the one for upholstery. Better too much protection than not enough. 6: If you want to nurse, but haven't produced enough in the past/are worried you won't produce enough, snag a bottle of fenugreek. It ups milk production, and if you don't wind up using it, you can pass it on to someone else. If you are wanting to bottle feed, that's totally fine. I will say please nurse for at least the first 3 days. There's a ton of very important stuff in that first milk that will give your baby a much needed boost. After that, bottle feed to your heart's content. A large marble in the bottle will help break up any clumps of formula, and when the bottle is held at the right angle it won't plug up the nipple (it winds up sitting in the bottom of the neck of the bottle, out of the way). And last, 7: get a binky keeper. It's a tag or small stuffed animal that attaches to your binky. It makes finding that binky much easier when your baby is in the carseat, or it's the middle of the night and you don't want to turn on the light. Hope this helps, and good luck! If you want any other tips, all you need to do is ask! :)
I’m only 9 weeks but I’ve been binge watching these videos and this one is my favorite so far ❤️ I have a while to go but I’m terrified yet so excited.
You have a soft voice and I like listening to you. Thank you for this video. I'm glad there are people that are so willing to shed light on this kind of stuff!
28 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby. I thought this is a funny video, little did I know you would make me cry with just the 1st thing reminder you said there. This is very touching and comforting for a preggy woman who's going through so much yet just a few people understands how hard it is. How much more when you're in the actual labor. You're an angel. Thank you 💛
I gave birth to a high risk preemie baby almost 3 weeks ago, and something i will never forget the rest of my life is my delivery nurse. She was FANTASTIC. Not only calming our fears about our baby but being so encouraging and positive during my labor. It wouldn't have gone as well as it did if it wasnt for her.
OMG!!!! You are AMAZING!!! You make me cry the way you care so much for the mother in their labor moment. Thank you for being so kind and love what you do. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm currently 21 wks with my own first and that's something I hope too. A rude nurse or doctor is the last thing you want to deal with while you're in labor.
If you arent happy with your nurse, say something! They'll gladly give you someone else. Everyone has their bad days and people come to work cranky and tired sometimes. But it's no biggie to ask for a new nurse to treat you.
As a certified doula and childbirth educator I find this is to be an amazing informative video! Any new mommy that has you as a labour nurse is a very lucky woman! I call birth plans, birth preferences, that way they appear more flexible. You are terrific!❤️
Is it weird that I cried because you made me feel really comfortable about my labor and delivery? I’m 18 weeks and you made me feel, calm ❤️. Thank you!
I love you! What ever momma is lucky enough to have you in their delivery room is blessed! You can tell how much you love your job! I wish I could have you in my dleivery room! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
If I had had a nurse like this kind soul my daughters delivery it would have been very different, in good way. it is lovely to know there are nurses like you out there xx
I give birth in 2 weeks, & I’m expecting all nurses to have your attitude. You are so sweet, and comforting, god I wish I have someone like you in the room! My first baby & I’m nervous & I could use someone like you! God bless💕
Yep thanking you this was a great look at a different perspective and it was good to think about showing more gratitude and thankful ness to the delivery staff. They are almost always awesome
I'm only 6 weeks pregnant and I hope I get a labor nurse half as sweet as you are. Current nursing student here, and I just wanted to say I can tell you really love your job. Thank you for being you!
I loved everything you said! It made me a lot more calm. I am 5 months and all i think about is will my nurses care will they help. So many things go through my mind. I hope i get someone like you. Thank you for all you do.
1. You do not need to apologize.

I apologize when I get screamy and if I poo.... 😑😭
“Poop everywhere for all I care” Someone promote this woman
„you just need to have a baby“ 😂 i love her!
Right! Shes awesome.
DOEDOETATTED Yup! One of my nurses was awful and announced to my mum, husband, and cousin (aka everyone in the room) that I had pooped, and then DIDNT WIPE IT AWAY. I had to literally yell and ask them to clean it because I was uncomfortable before they bothered to.
Katrina Farias That’s terrible, giving birth is a beautiful experience and for one person to ruin it is really unfortunate.
@@Trinabiss97 can I fight her? Just asking
I’ve never had a baby and here I am... watching this and just taking notes for the future 😂🤗
Haha same!
Ruby Farfan Same
same youtube definitely thinks im pregnant now haha
Me too 😂😭😭
Yasss girl. Same. U can never be too prepared! Lol
She’s speaking on behalf of the pure hearted nurses. Unfortunately they’re not all this kind and heartfelt.
Exactly cause I had a nurse who I told I didn’t like cause I was so much in pain that the nurse went and called social worker on me because I said something while I was in pain about her but all I said was that I didn’t like her so no not all nurses are kind and heartfelt
@@amandamartinez2067 lol i would of cursed her tf out for that 💯🅿️
@@amandamartinez2067 maybe she never really wanted to end up as a delivery nurse but had to pay the bills? Or maybe she was new and didn't yet understand enough?

Edit: omg, guys, i love y'all. I'm 7 months now! 3rd trimester babes. Baby is healthy and so is mommy ❤️ AND ITS A BOY!

Congratulations!! ❤️🤰

I'm so happy to hear everyone's fine! I'm on the track to be an old first time if ever mom too. I'm already 35 and I still can't even really imagine getting pregnant. Used to have an outright phobia of it and I more want to want to have a child than would actually want one
“Poop everywhere for all I care” I’m crying I love you and want to hug you
Haha me too, those were my exact thoughts when she said that. I want you as my labour nurse 🙌🏼
😊same.Shalom🍃🍃🍃
YES! This girl is an angel!
Who else wishes this exact lady was going to be your labor and delivery nurse?😩💞 Love this video!!
I so want her to be my nurse
Me 💯 just because I’m not a person to apologize for how I feel and I know I’m going to cuss everybody out not being mean just swearing cause it’s natural to cuss reacting to pain, and I know a lot of the nurses may have a problem with that.
Shyan_Cierra yess
My baby delivery date may come up any day, I wish she would be my primary nurse 😊
Me!!
She really reminds me of Drew Barrymore, sounds like her too.
Omg i was just about to say that
Yes
I was literally looking to see if anyone else thought this 😂❤️
It’s like if Drew Barrymore and Sarah Paulson had a baby
It is the lisp lol!
Just based on this video alone I know she's a great labor nurse. 👏👏👏👏
I had a nurse just like you when my first born was on his way. She even massaged my swollen legs and wiped my lady bits when I used the restroom. She was right by my side the entire time and was so encouraging. She was so sweet, I will never forget her.
thanks for sharing this. this is reassuring to hear as my first will be due in August. I feel so embarrassed at the thoughts of those things, but will try not to. nurses are angels on earth. at least yours sound like one.
@@Drymouth11 I was super embarrassed! lol but with the amount of pain I was in the embarrassment went away and I just wanted to be taken care of and they did just that. You have nothing to worry about and if you do always voice your concerns and ask all the questions! You'll do an amazing job and I hope you have a smooth delivery :).
her voice is literally so soothing I hope she's my delivery nurse😌...even tho I'm not pregnant....or in a relationship...just let me have this....
Haha me too 😂😂😂
ErinDylanAnderson lol facts 🙌🏽
Honestly same
I'm just engaged and have no idea when we'll be ready for a baby, I just like researching this stuff cuz being a woman with the body parts to make babies, I just feel it's a good idea to be prepared for whenever it might happen 💗
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I pray my delivery nurse is as genuine and sweet as you! I’ll be delivering very soon & I’m terrified but definitely helped a lot.
Mikayla Martinez you’ll find *at least* one nurse that will be stuck in your mind for ages for being genuine and sweet to you. Good luck & prayers for safe delivery!!🥰♥️
They are the kindest and warmest women in the world.
Peahead Peahead Inc.
not always
Some are awful women
Almost all the nurses are nice...don't worry about it too much
Berlin Wall I agree!! I had one with my middle child! Made me so uneasy.
I’m a labor nurse and this is so accurate!
I’ve been in women’s health for 10 years , 8 of which were spent on L&D and absolutely everything you said was exactly correct!! Loved this and will definitely share!
I feel like you're setting the standards really high for us, lol. If I get a nurse any less compassionate and caring than you, I'll be disappointed lol.
I’m saying 😂
True!😄
She just too nice😌 like i wish she could deliver my baby but we are in different countries😭😭😭
Yes !
Ana Martinez really glad you gave that job up
Not even pregnant but I'm here for this 🥰😂😊.
Same hahahahaha. Dont even know how i found this clip lol
Me too. Lol
Same
lol sameeeeee
Lilly Cham me too
Sometimes I feel like nurses should be the doctors lol ❤️
I am a doctor, and this is true
They’re much smarter
@@michelles4403 Well I also commend doctors as well. You guys are always on the move. I often wonder do doctors ever sleep 😂😂😂 I appreciate doctors too❤️
This came up recommended out of no where (I mean..I am 39 weeks) and i was so worried that I was going to find out things that I had to seriously reconsider or that this was going to be condescending but this was SO ENCOURAGING. I know it's an old video but thank you for making this for us new mommas. I feel a little less scared now. 🤍
Have a great birth mama!!
How did your birth go?
I know this is an old video but my nurse stayed over her shift time to deliver my daughter. She got sprayed in amniotic fluid as my daughter came out and after she showered she came back and hugged us and kissed my cheek. It was my first delivery and I was terrified! She was the best nurse I have ever had anywhere other than my OB nurse. We even have a picture with her framed in our living room. Labor and delivery nurses rock!!!
Alyssa J Your nurse sounds AMAZING! Glad you had such a wonderful experience!
I never knew nurses could take showers 🚿... in the UK we have midwife
This! 🙌🏻 my nurse also got sprayed with a bunch of blood! All over the her, the wall, everything! She was young. I was scared but she kept so calm and stayed! My daughter was already delivered and the main doctor had to raise her voice for her to go get a shower. She also came back and was so sweet. I honestly miss her she was that sweet 😂💕
Zabey Baby 2015 she was the best! I could never be a nurse. Blood freaks me out. But I am studying psychology to help people in other ways. 😁
My nurse stayed 6 hours over when she had already worked 12 hours straight! She was amazing & didn’t even care that I pee’d on her when she broke my water🙈 She was practically my third support person (I had my husband & mom with me) & rocked!
Can this women get a raise?? 😂 if I ever have a baby I’m making her my nurse 😂
Jenessa Edwards 😂😂 right? Call her from the state you’re in and request to have her flown in. 😂
I had one nurse that was sooooo good with my colicky baby I couldn't swaddle her tight enought this woman came In swaddled her BOOM! My baby coo,d herself back to sleep some of these ladies really do have a true gift💖💖💖
I was literally about to say that like hire her and fly her out. I already feel comfortable with her and I’m not even pregnant 😂
Her lisp is everything! I’m over here crying cause I love her lisp... yea I’m pregnant 😭
Whats wrong with being pregnant?
@@koppo5657 shes just saying shes extra hormonal (cries easier) due to being pregnant.
Giirl I wish Jamaican Labour Nurses were like this. Omg. They're not even the slightest bit compassionate. I was just crying cause I wanted to go home so bad. Hated my whole experience. Thank God we made it out safe.🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
“Poop everywhere for all I care” - Thank you from a mom who pooped while pushing. Super grateful for the nurse who had to wipe while keeping a straight face, I adore you!
SandersonSister hahaha I pooped 8 times lol 😂
@@kylie3580 When I had my second baby it was in a military hospital. A male medic was doing the nurse thing on the end where the poop happens. I was mortified!! Even worse was that that medic was in church the Sunday my baby got baptized. So embarrassing. That was 48 years ago:-)
I didn't poop but I kept farting in the faces of my midwives and doctors 😳😳😳
Lois Robson Lol yeah I was mortified too lol 😂 luckily no male but my husband and doctor at the time.
Omg yes I pooped as well and my nurse just smiled and said I’m doing great and with one swipe she cleaned up the poop.
i'm not even pregnant and i watched this whole thing.. definitely feel less stressed for the future tho haha!
baby mercury you should lol delivering a baby is no joke hun...but I promise is totally worthy ❤️
baby mercury I feel the same way!!! She is helping relief my anxiety for the future.
Same
@@pharmunique Ikr. Same.
I’m due in September and this makes me feel so reassured and at ease. Thank you. Nurses are some of the most kind, compassionate and INCREDIBLE people. 💗💗
I’m due October 2021 and I have so many worries about my delivery. I hope I get a nurse as kind as you. I’m a CNA so I know what a big difference it makes to have a good nurse when you’re vulnerable and need help... especially going to the bathroom or in this case pushing a baby out of your lady bits. This answered a lot of questions! Thank you!
"Poop everywhere for all I care." lol! We stan a straightforward Drew Barrymore!!
Victoria Caine loved this girl
I was thinking she looked familiar. Thank you. 😂😂😂
My biggest fear. I'm a pooper💩
I was so scared to poop 😂😭 and when I gave birth I pooped! I asked my nurse did I poo during birth? She looked at me and said no, you did beautiful. I asked my husband and he said yes you did shit 🤦🏻♀️
Same. I asked my nurse if I pooped and she didn't answer so I asked her again and she said no. I said I know I did because I can smell it. Lol. Nobody in the room acknowledged it. Haha
Lol I just gave birth 4 days ago, I'm sure I shit. My husband still doesn't want to say if I pooped or not.
LOL this is something I will NEVER ask my husband if I did! I don’t ever want to know!
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm 5 months now with my first baby. I came across your vlog and I can't be happier. I'm getting anxious from reading all these protocols and restrictions due to Covid, and your positive mindset and friendly personality really helped calm me down. God bless you and I hope all nurses are like you around the world!
Wow, number 6 was triggering. I remember with my first birth I did not know that and my baby's heartbeat was not doing well and I was so scared and I felt so alone. While all along, a few rooms further, someone was always watching and keeping an eye on me and my baby. I actually had therapy to get over the trauma of my first birth and that knowledge was one of the healing factors. The second time around it was so reassuring to know that there was always someone watching us. So thank you for letting new mum's to be know!
I hope I have kind and caring nurses like you when I have my baby in December 😩
SAMEEEEE!!! Congrats!! ~
Justina M. Same girlll!! I’m due Dec 31st
same!! i’m due december 9th :)
Mee tooo dec 19th
Aww Congrats ladies! I’m due December 6th
I’m actually getting emotional🙈 Every mother hopes to be treated like this with so much love and understanding
yes, same here love.
I wish my labor nurse was like her when I had my first child. My experience with my labor was the worse and I wonder why she is even there working!!!!
She is so encouraging and sweet, thank God for nurses like her..made me teared eye
Thank you for being a good person! Being a good nurse starts w/ just being a good person in general 💕 you’re awesome
I wish you had been my nurse. #1.) I cursed with my first labor and the nurse told me that it wasn't necessary. Yup. 15 yrs later I'm still annoyed by that.
What? I bet that if that nurse has ever given birth has cursed!!
I had that issue with the second baby. She came super fast and I felt like someone stuck my hoo hoo with a hot iron I cursed and the nurse said "this isn't your first, don't be a baby about it" I almost punched her.
Dude, I'm an L&D nurse and I'm NEVER bothered by people dropping f bombs left and right. If someone told me any of those things, I'd send them to hell
I was treated the same way. I was treated like a nuisance and completely ignored by the nurses. I was treated as if I was invisible and not even in the room.
@@jenniferkenyon7153 I would have reported her for that. I'm sorry you went through that.
I wish all nurses were as nice and patient as her. She’s someone who seems she actually likes her job. I’ve had the misfortune to come across medical professionals who are completely rude to you without reason.
I’m a nurse and I’ve seen that too. It sucks for us nurses when we see and have to work with these people too. Why get into nursing if you don’t have compassion to share.
@@saraboenisch8911 I'm a nurse too and I TOTALLY agree with everything you just said. Some people should not be in the profession. It hurts me to see those rude people making patients feel bad. I just want to slap them, I usually verbally slap them really well!
I had AWFUL experiences at OB triage while in labor, it was terrible during labor of both of my children. But the actual labor and delivery nurses were much kinder and more helpful. I had lovely postpartum nurses!! There are definitely people who are more suited for the profession
I had a rude hospice doctor/nurse? Idk it was 1am and the hospital was empty. The on call doctor wasn’t there when I got there and I was crowning.
I wanted to push so bad but the doctor/nurse lady wanted me to keep my knees pointed at the ceiling until the OB got there AND when I screamed in pain she told me to be quiet because i was scaring the other women. The pain was intense and my 8lb son tore me up!😂😬 My left side RN was awesome through the screaming tho. I ended up letting my knees fall outward and my son came right out. 2 months later I got a refund check because an OB wasn’t in the room when my son was born.
I should have saved myself the painful ride to the hospital and prolonged birthing experience and just had my son at home.
Same. I wish she could’ve been my labor and deliver nurse for my daughter
Thank you To all your sweet and kind LD nurses ❤️❤️ all my nurses with my son were just amazing. Appreciate you all so much!
She seems so devoted and loves her job so much. I really admire that!
Idk why but she’s just so calming. I want her to hold me.😭She’s also very helpful. She just deserves an award!
I feel like she would do a REALLY good Drew Barrymore impression. 💗🤣🤷
@@shawnamcintosh8890 i see i I see
@@shawnamcintosh8890 she reminds me of Drew Barrymore tooo😂
Shawna McIntosh has
I’m on my third pregnancy and all the labor nurses I’ve encountered have been so sweet and comforting. I just love them. 💖
I labored the whole 12 hr shift with this one particular nurse... at 7pm she reported off to the evening nurse and we said good bye. As she was on her way out to leave for the night (about 15 mins later) she passed our room and noticed I had just started pushing (finally!).. you know that nurse came right in, coat on and pocketbook in hand and cheered me on until the baby was born (luckily it was only a few pushes and 10 mins later).
what an angel! i will always remember that!
Mia's Mom my nurse was also on the way out and said she stayed in the hospital late to see my girl born!
When I worked L&D, I always stayed if my patient was anywhere remotely close to delivering! Nothing made us more upset than having to leave after you’ve spent 12 long, hard hours with a woman and you don’t get to see the baby-the end result! Lol-plus, of course, we all want to get to hold our babies that we helped come into the world!
Denise Bone that is so sweet. I’m a nurse as well.. I work adult icu and it’s soo much sorrow a lot of the time. I always think how wonderful it must be to delivery babies into the world everyday for a living ☺️
The same thing happened to me!! She was so sweet and even came in the next morning for her next shift and visited us💓💓
Aww I had a traumatizing labor and delivery and I had a nurse her name was angel. She was the only nurse that was nice to me actually and she got off shift and she waited 2 hours til my emergency c section was done and she was the only one who came to see me in recovery and I just about bawled lol. I WAS SO ALONE! and in the recovery room my husband had to be with our daughter in nicu and when I saw her as she came and squeezed my hand and she apologized for how my labor and delivery went and how traumatizing it was I just looked at her and was like you have no idea I couldn’t have done this without your support so thank you. I never saw her again and I’m praying I see her this time around 4 years Later but we will see. I’m going for a scheduled c section this time so I don’t know how many nurses I’ll have but I hope I can see angel!
Having my baby in December and I’m terrified of laboring at a hospital like I’ve heard such horror stories I really pray my nursing staff is friendly and cooperative
Thank you for this! I wish I had known some of these before I had my first. Having had 5 babies I've dealt with a lot of nurses, and I'd have to say that the nurses in l&d have always been the kindest, sweetest, calmest people I've meet, especially under the intense pressure of making sure everything goes smoothly and I don't think you guys get enough credit!
I wish you could be my nurse, you're just AMAZING!😢
I had a horrifying experience when I was 15 weeks pregnant, woke up in a pool of blood and when I got to the hospital I was checked and I wasn't even warned that she would stick her finger inside me and she did it so roughly.
After she checked me she just said "You had a miscarriage" with no emotion whatsoever and walked away. I was in tears and couldn't believe that someone could be so cold. I didn't want to accept that my baby was gone and so I sat up and put my hand on my belly and pleaded with God to please fix whatever went wrong. I was admitted and kept praying to God to save my baby. The bleeding stopped and only later that night the gynacologist was available and did an ultrasound and there my baby was sucking his thumb looking so perfect and I cried with relieve that he was okay 😢💙
I am so grateful that I am now 31 weeks pregnant and will meet my little one very soon. I just pray that God assigns caring and lovely nurses to help me deliver my baby.💙
Hope you and your family are doing great now, thank you jesus indeed
You are strong wow! Sending you lots of light 🌿
This made me cry so hard. I'm so glad ur baby was ok
Wow! Glory be to Jesus ❤️

Me in labor: EPIDURAL....NOWWWWWW 🤣😂🤣
Samantha Nyhof And that’s ok!! 💗
😂😂😂
Same😂👍
Samantha Nyhof 🤣🤣🤣
As a person that doesn’t want kids... how can anyone plan on having no drugs? Like... the pain is gonna be excruciating, and I can’t even handle heavy-ish period pain (luckily rare)
What kinda super humans manage without pain medication when you know it’s available??
I love your personality and how kind and real you are when giving us information and advice. It's highly appreciated! 💕
Thank you for your kindness and compassion. I hope you NEVER lose your spark or your passion for your calling. God bless and keep you!
Can you be my labor nurse?! I’m tearing up just knowing how supportive you are for mother’s in labor! Please continue to do what you do and just love on those mothers in labor. I’m super appreciative of the video and you being the awesome nurse and person you are. 💜
Kelley Yang I felt this
If my man ignored the birth of our child I would leave him so fast. He’d be lucky to even hold the baby .
My guys first genius move was too look at me all doe eyed and go "I want another one..." If I hadn't been so tired he would have ended up in ICU LOL.
5 months in with my first progressing pregnancy! This was very helpfully 🥰 thank you!
Baby dust to all and healthy full term deliveries for those also expecting ❤️
I am so grateful for all of the changes that have taken place over the past 20 yrs regarding delivery and laboring mothers. Having supportive nurses make such a HUGE difference during labor & delivery. I was young(19) and scared to death. One of my nurses made me feel like a complete failure because I asked for an epidural.
This was in my recommendations...
Not disappointed 😂
I had a stillborn 01.19.18. I called my dr because I knew something was off. I was right!!!
But I’m currently 7weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby!! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!!!
Jessica P all will be well with this pregnancy. God has given you a miracle baby. Trust God xoxo
Jessica P I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying this pregnancy is safe and healthy!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a stillborn too at 21 weeks. I stopped feeling kicks. My nurses were so sweet and caring.
Whats a rainbow baby?

I'm less than 5 weeks out with my first, and I am extremely choked up watching this video. GOD BLESS YOU NURSES!!! I only hope to have a team of ladies who are as patient and loving as you are. Thank you so much for what you do. Thank you for sharing these tips with me before my big day and I'm going to get cards today for all the nurses that will help me bring my beautiful Bea into the world.
I just had my baby a month and half now and I had the most amazing nurses especially the nurse that had to deliver my baby. She was amazing. It's so real how calm these nurses are. When you're in pain they have such soothing voices to calm you down & help you through this whole process of labor and birthing.
You resemble Drew Barrymore so, in looks & spirit. So comforting & kind. ❤️
Taylor Woodruff I think it’s her lisp that actually remind me of Drew the most! Their voices and mannerisms are similar
Taylor Woodruff also not hating I love her lisp :) it makes her unique
I thought the same thing! Reminded me of Drew!
I thought the very same thing.
You said it before I did. lol. I thought the same thing.
I wish every mama could have you as a nurse.
Hi - just wanted to say - i had a horrendous labour and this video was what i needed to hear!
Because of covid, i am unable to visit my hospital with a heartfelt thankyou note or gift - but nearly months on from the birth of my baby girl, and i am in absolute awe of nurses, doctors midwives -everyone in your line of work for how you make a difference to peoples lives, every hour of every day.
Im here in the uk, and as i say my labour was not straight forward. It was long, exhausting, and i wasnt allowed pain relief until i dilated and my waters could be broke -long story short that barely came after several hours and my daughter had to be delivered vy emergency c-section.
This video is what i needed to hear, even though im on the other side. You are truly incredible for what you do. Please know that even people you havent impacted face to face, still respect and admire everything you do.
Take care - especially in these difficult times - You are amazing!
I would give anything to have you as my delivery nurse!! God bless you and all the hard and compassionate work that you do. I wish all nurses were as kind and lovely as you ❤️🙏
My pregnant wife is sleeping, why am I watching this? But I want this nurse to be there and help deliver haha
idcccccccc aww Hahha congrats! 🎊🍾🎈 pray everything goes well ❤️
Congrats!!
Cause you are a good guy. Drawing from personal experience... get the car cleaned out if needed and install the car seat before going to the hospital. I say this because the trip home from the hospital is something I've never actually got over and made me loose serious respect and trust in his dependability (again this could just be me. I like to know things are covered and taken care of especially when I ask a person to their face if they completed said task) Don't make her set the new baby in the front seat so she can help you fight with the car seat and move crap around in the car...also cleaning person for a few times a month if it works in the budget.
Its because u are such an awesome husband!
This world needs a billion nurses like you. 🙂 You are a champ.🎖️
Kikindayaye Ministries I work with a ton of nurses passionate about birth. Labor nurses are special people for sure 💗
I was a support person for a friend who is 3 ft 3in tall (her husband is 6 ft 6in tall) and we asked many questions. No one ever made us feel less than informed. We made the staff a huge thank you card for the child's first birthday too.
Labor and delivery nurses are seriously, hands down, some of the best people in.the.world.
I loved your video so much. I laughed, I felt your warmth and authentic care - truly lovely.
There's also something about your energy while listening to you that reminded me of the labor and delivery nurses I've had. Thank you for all that you do, and thank you for this lovely video!
My fiancé said “you just pooped!!!” And I freaked out. The nurse said, “don’t worry, I already wiped it away. I wasn’t even gonna say anything.” 😂😂😂
Ashley Smith 100% believe this would be my husband I would know because he would make it known lol 😂😂😂
Staci Santos so funny 😂 I was seriously so embarrassed though!
Ashley Smith I can imagine poor thing 😂 but that’s what husbands are for to do stupid things like that lol
Staci Santos yes ma’am it is 😂
Same my nurse didn't say anything and her face didn't say anything but! My husband was kind enough 🙄 to let me know 🤦🏻♀️
Wow! This nurse is what we all want!
GG Thank you 😊
My baby is due in July!
I want her to be one of my nurses.
You made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I could trust you as part of my medical team.
Same mine is due in 7 weeks
Good luck with your upcoming delivery ! I have two July babies . I was so miserable because it’s so hot here but now I’m due in December and I’m scared about having baby in the winter 😅 like how can I keep this baby warm !?😅
@@holleyb1856 Hats and socks/mittens are your best friend here. Babies lose a lot of heat through the top of their head, and the toes are small. Keep those warm, and always have an extra balnket on hand. I keep a spare in the carseat AND in the car. The car one is much larger than a baby blanket, but it's thick. (That one is mainly for whoever gets cold in the car, or if the car has a problem and we're stuck on the side of the road, but it makes an excellent extra layer over a carseat.) Keep 2 spares of hat/mittens/socks in the diaper bag. Better to be over prepared than under. :)
For all of you wonderful people here that are expecting children, I have a few tips for you! :)
1: have your clean diaper prepped and a wipe pulled out before opening up the dirty one. It makes changing much faster, and reduces the opportunity for accidents/'fountains'.
2: Doggie clean up bags are much cheaper. Ross usually has packs of 16 rolls for $5-ish. Keep a roll or two in your diaper bag/changing pad, and toss the dirty diaper in one whenever you change your kid while out and about. The janitors for the place will thank you.
3: Keep at least 2 outfits in your diaper bag and a spare blanket in the carseat. Accidents happen, temperatures fluctuate. Better to be prepared than have a cold baby. There have been times we have gone through three outfits (the one he was wearing AND both spares), and had that back-up blanket to help keep him warm while we've been out and about.
4: cloth diapers make fantastic burp rags! They are designed to be absorbent, so they'll keep stuff from soaking through or rolling off. I've had several people gift me nice burp rags from the store; the rags don't do squat. Nothing worse than being at a store or restaurant burping your baby, and having the entirety of the urp roll right off that cloth and down your back. Save yourself some trouble (and lots of laundry) and get some cloth diapers. They may not be cute, but that's what ribbon/edging/crochet and small appliqué are for. (And personally, I prefer function over aesthetic.)
5: if you don't want stains on stuff, Scotch Guard is your best friend. Spray it, let it dry, and you're good for a couple months. Babies are messy. There's no getting around it. If you want those cute white/pastel outfits to stay the same color, find some Scotch Guard. I use the one for upholstery. Better too much protection than not enough.
6: If you want to nurse, but haven't produced enough in the past/are worried you won't produce enough, snag a bottle of fenugreek. It ups milk production, and if you don't wind up using it, you can pass it on to someone else. If you are wanting to bottle feed, that's totally fine. I will say please nurse for at least the first 3 days. There's a ton of very important stuff in that first milk that will give your baby a much needed boost. After that, bottle feed to your heart's content. A large marble in the bottle will help break up any clumps of formula, and when the bottle is held at the right angle it won't plug up the nipple (it winds up sitting in the bottom of the neck of the bottle, out of the way).
And last, 7: get a binky keeper. It's a tag or small stuffed animal that attaches to your binky. It makes finding that binky much easier when your baby is in the carseat, or it's the middle of the night and you don't want to turn on the light.
Hope this helps, and good luck! If you want any other tips, all you need to do is ask! :)
+Mrs.Dathy Hows the baby??
I’m only 9 weeks but I’ve been binge watching these videos and this one is my favorite so far ❤️ I have a while to go but I’m terrified yet so excited.
"poop everywhere for all I care" hahahha hilarious, thanks for making it a witty subject
I just laughed so hard 😭😭
She sounds like drew Barrymore but her personality is arizona Robbins on greys anatomy
Annabelle Lynn i sooo agree with this!! was gonna say the same thing!!
Yes!!! I was hoping someone said this!! I just commented that she reminded me of her
Yes!omg exactly right on!
Annabelle Lynn she has her mannerisms too. The way she moves her mouth and lips, she resembles her too.
Yes!
You have a soft voice and I like listening to you. Thank you for this video. I'm glad there are people that are so willing to shed light on this kind of stuff!
28 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby.
I thought this is a funny video, little did I know you would make me cry with just the 1st thing reminder you said there. This is very touching and comforting for a preggy woman who's going through so much yet just a few people understands how hard it is. How much more when you're in the actual labor.
You're an angel. Thank you 💛
Everyone needs to have a NURSE LIKE HER
Yes. I agree w\ u. Some nurses & dr's picked the wrong profession & are heartless bitches
“Poop everywhere I dont care” 😂😂😂😂💀 I’ll be having my daughter on May 3rd so this makes me feel much better

prince e pie Thank you ❤️❤️
I gave birth to a high risk preemie baby almost 3 weeks ago, and something i will never forget the rest of my life is my delivery nurse. She was FANTASTIC. Not only calming our fears about our baby but being so encouraging and positive during my labor. It wouldn't have gone as well as it did if it wasnt for her.
OMG!!!! You are AMAZING!!! You make me cry the way you care so much for the mother in their labor moment. Thank you for being so kind and love what you do. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Currently 23 weeks with my first baby ... really hoping that my labor and delivery nurse is as sweet and caring as you seem to be ❤️❤️

Gabrielle Scates ill pray for you
Im sure it’ll be so smooth and easy
God will be there with you
Amen 🙏🏻
I'm currently 21 wks with my own first and that's something I hope too. A rude nurse or doctor is the last thing you want to deal with while you're in labor.
I hope your pregnancy is going really well! My niece is due on Monday, first baby of my siblings :) So excited.
If you arent happy with your nurse, say something! They'll gladly give you someone else. Everyone has their bad days and people come to work cranky and tired sometimes. But it's no biggie to ask for a new nurse to treat you.
As a certified doula and childbirth educator I find this is to be an amazing informative video! Any new mommy that has you as a labour nurse is a very lucky woman! I call birth plans, birth preferences, that way they appear more flexible. You are terrific!❤️
bcdoula I love birth preferences! I’m going to use that! 💗
Zabey Baby 2015 That’s awesome. I find that way it’s not so firm in the new parents eyes. More like a best case scenario!!
Yes to birth PREFERENCES you can’t plan a birth but you can have preferences on how things will go.
Love this spin!!
You’re great!!! You love your job with all your heart and this is what we need more than anything else!!
You’re rare.. most nurses aren’t this caring, you’re super sweet! 😊 ❤️
I love her attitude towards makign women feeling comfortable about pooping
Is it weird that I cried because you made me feel really comfortable about my labor and delivery? I’m 18 weeks and you made me feel, calm ❤️. Thank you!
❤️
Same !
I love you! What ever momma is lucky enough to have you in their delivery room is blessed! You can tell how much you love your job! I wish I could have you in my dleivery room! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Amazing and Beautifully said ! We can feel how much you love what you do and how much you care. Congratulations, a thousand times!!!! Bravo.
Not even pregnant and I watched this because your voice is so soothing.
I’m pregnant with my first child
This gave me comfort and made me laugh 😊
Same here due in July
Love you such a kind nurse ! Thanks for understanding the situation of a pregnant woman
If I had had a nurse like this kind soul my daughters delivery it would have been very different, in good way. it is lovely to know there are nurses like you out there xx
I’m not even pregnant but she is so sweet, encouraging, and “let me get closer and say it...you might poop” had me rolling
I wish all nurses/doctors, no matter which field, would be as sweet and understanding as you are. Keep it up please, we need more people like you.
Amen. I think all of us have met at least one doctor who should not have the care of live, conscious humam beings.
I give birth in 2 weeks, & I’m expecting all nurses to have your attitude. You are so sweet, and comforting, god I wish I have someone like you in the room! My first baby & I’m nervous & I could use someone like you! God bless💕
This’s my first time here and I just want to say.... the hospital’s need nurses like u. Keep the good work❤️ God bless u. I wish u are in Nigeria
How could ANYONE have given this a thumbs down. She is incredible
If ALL labor nurses could be like you then everyone would have a good experience!!!
Yep thanking you this was a great look at a different perspective and it was good to think about showing more gratitude and thankful ness to the delivery staff. They are almost always awesome
There should be more nurses like you. Thank you for your service - blessings.
I'm only 6 weeks pregnant and I hope I get a labor nurse half as sweet as you are. Current nursing student here, and I just wanted to say I can tell you really love your job. Thank you for being you!
Awww congrats to you! May you have a safe and healthy pregnancy and birth! God bless!❤🙏
Why can’t every L&D nurse be just like you 😭
I loved everything you said! It made me a lot more calm. I am 5 months and all i think about is will my nurses care will they help. So many things go through my mind. I hope i get someone like you. Thank you for all you do.
