When I left the hospital, I just kept thinking about the amazing nurses. Yes, I had a midwife, but she had other moms and babies to worry about even if she was “better” than an OB (which is up to debate!). The nurses were EVERYTHING. They saw me at my absolute WORST and were still kind and supportive. They treated me with respect when I felt like I had no dignity left. When the doctors were pushing me to supplement with formula (even though my milk had come in!), my nurse shook her head and told me I’d be just fine. When I couldn’t pee after giving birth even though my bladder felt like it was going to explode, a nurse literally held my aching body as I tried. Thank you, Nurses 🙂
