To my labor and delivery nurses
I am so glad to work at the hospital I delivered at. The nurses I had were absolutely amazing. I knew they helped so many women through some of the hardest, and most of the time also the best days of their lives but sometimes the most awful. I didnt realize just how much of an impact they truely had until I went through it. Being so vulnerable, in pain, the anxiety, the excitment, all the good and bad they are there and helping you through it and cheering you on. My first nurse in triage due to a high bp kept me laughing and calm reassuring me everything was fine, which it was. Second 2 nurses in triage when in pain were so sweet and making sure I felt taken care of and listening to me. My day shift nurse when finally admitted was the absolute sweetest. Because of my night shift nurse who helped me through the most difficult part of labor I got the epidural I wanted and didnt end up paralyzed from moving and flinching around. She held me still and talked down my nerves she listened to every worry I had. She got my labor going and pain meds flowing and made sure I was comfortable and got me to the start of pushing. My day shift nurse that helped me deliver baby was cheering me on the whole time telling me what was most effective while pushing and rotating my hips for me every time I asked from being uncomfortable. And my first day shift nurse in post partum who got me up for the first time washed me off and helped me get underwear and a pad on and the team that came rushing in during a slight hemorrhage scare that wiped the blood off my feet and kept me and my fiance calm and relaxed during the situation I couldnt be more grateful. Also the nicu team that came to get babys lungs working right when she was first born. We have had quite the handful of scares so far and I feel at any other hospital this would have been a very traumatic birth experience especially since it was my first and while it was a little scary I wouldnt have gotten through it and neither would have my fiance mentally without such an awesome team of nurses helping me through it. So thankful me and baby are healthy for ghe most part and hopefully going home tomorrow.
