Setting up a mom's shower after birth!  

L&D nurses are built different man. I spent 3 weeks in L&D before my preemie twins were born and those nurses were angels. I mentioned to my husband once we were home that I almost missed being in the hospital and he said “no, you just miss the nurses, they were amazing and became your friends.” Thank you for being so wonderful!!

If every maternity unit had nurses like you ... there wouldn't be as many horror stories. Your truly amazing and well done for all your hard work towards new mothers x

I will never forget the nurse that helped me take my first shower. I literally asked her if I would ever feel normal again 🥹 she was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable in such a vulnerable time

Honestly thank you. I was in a super toxic marriage with my first baby my nurse stayed with me literally 8 hours after her shift ended. When I went to my first bathroom I had to ask her to help me because I was torn so bad and it hurt. She was the one that helped bathe me my first shower. I think about her often you guys are saints thank you so much for taking care of us during our most vulnerable hours

That first shower was the scariest thing ever after my first kid was born. I was so scared I would fall. I had this nurse who held me up and made sure i was stable. She also helped me pee. Because that first pee after birth is terrifying too. Literally feels like everything will drop out of u. Im currently pregnant with my second child. A boy and im so excited for delivery. I pray the nurses are like u

I had 4 kids. I never had anyone be this nice or help me with anything. After my first a tech had to clean me up hours after she was born because the nurses hadn’t. I was then left alone at night (no visitors allowed) with my newborn and my still numb legs. It was the worst night.

I had a stillborn 10 years ago and having the nurse take time out to help me was just next level. You all are angels. ❤️

I had my first shower after my second c section 4 months back and in India we have attendants instead of nurses helping us. Mine was a 45 year old lady who had grown up kids and she assured me that she has my back if I am scared about falling and she rubbed soap on my legs and back because my stitches still hurt so I could not bend. She also helped me dress into fresh clothes and that shower felt like heaven! So so grateful to her ❤️

i will never forgot my nurse with my oldest son. she helped me take a shower, wipe, put my tucks pads on, everything. did it all with a smile. i bled a lot and blood was dripping all over the floor & on her. she was a pro at making me feel comfortable and never once made it seem like she was grossed out (even though you know she was 😂).

If a nurse wants to film their jobs, THIS is what that should look like. Kudos for taking such good care of those patients. 💜

My sister after she gave birth needed help showering and asked the nurses for help and they told her we don't help you shower u need to shower urself. Ur an absolute sweetheart of a nurse.❤

That is so sweet, my first showers sucked, I think I just cried the whole time because it hurt so much but I think a nice warm towel would have made it so much nicer

Gosh the nurse that helped me deliver my first baby was my best friend in that moment. I was scared and so was my partner, we both didn't know what to expect or do. She gave me confidence, peace and comfort when no one else could. She was everything I could have asked for and more. Thankyou for everything you do ❤ for me it meant sooooo much. You are special people for sure!!!

I struggled with buttoning up my gown and cried ( emotional bc my baby came early and was struggling) she hugged me and helped with everything i loved them omfg

The first real shower I got in the hospital after my son was born I sat on a chair under the water for probably a half hour. It was so relaxing after all that

After my C-section I needed help into the shower and the nurse told me I could walk in a do it myself. I had the most difficult time and she made me feel like I was being whiny or complaining a lot. I really wish I had a nurse like you

I wish every new momma could have amazing L&D nurses like I did after my son was born. You guys make all the difference in those first few days!

I pray that I get a nurse who will care about me this much here in just 6 months when I'm giving birth. You seem like the absolute best, you truly love your patients and your job and it's so comforting to see.

If any of my 3 birthing experiences included someone like you I would have been so grateful. Keep up the great work ❤️

Wish all labor and delivery nurses were as thoughtful as you. After my cesarean the nurses didn't even help me up from the bed, with picking my daughter up, to the bathroom, or to shower. It was horrendous from the second I woke to them pushing on my stomach as pain/numbing meds don't last long on me.

We need to go through the hospitals and do a clean sweep. If they're not like this, then send them their walking papers. Seriously. Tired of the malice towards birthing moms.

Wish every new mom could have a nurse like you!

Where were you during my 4 deliveries?!? 😭 You’re amazing!

I'm not a mom but I think that getting a warm bath after having a baby must make you fell way better

Thanks to all the maternity nurses for what they do ❤️seeing videos like this make me comforted because I am a couple months in to my 1st pregnancy and scared. These videos are a pleasure and a relief knowing there is support like this ❤

I cant imagine how relieved you must feel after that first shower.

You’re amazing! New mommas are so lucky to have you as their nurse! Thanks for all you do! ❤

We need more nurses like you, I wasn’t provided anything, no towel no soap no help nothing, I could barely move with my c section so fresh

That has to feel amazing after being exhausted and feeling icky from sweat, tears, blood, and every other fluid or solid that happens during birth, plus you gotta be really sore and depending on how things went , some decent amount of pain. Probably makes you feel like a human after a shower! ❤❤❤

As an adult Iv never had another adult put underwear on me until I had children 🤣

Man.....I freaking love those disposable undies! I had the best nurses and techs in L&D and just recently when I had to get my gallbladder removed. I felt so well taken care of and I let them know that I truly appreciated them.

Both of the hospitals I’ve birthed at for all 5 kiddos couldn’t care less about the shower lol. They’ll put your stuff out of course but never once ask if you’ve taken one, you need help, etc. they do care about the first 2 urines and blood but after that, just vitals. Lol. This could’ve really helped me if they would’ve helped bc I could never get around to it until I was about to leave. Except for my last time. I got 2 in. I always just stayed right on my bed . I have tachycardia (svt) so I always felt AWFUL after birth (it gets worse right after birth along with my hbp) .

Lol I had no help for my first shower. I actually had to ask for a new gown and ended up having to send my hubby home to get pajamas for me

The first shower after birth is AMMMAAZZIINNGGG…. 🥳

The nurses I had for my son no bueno, but the nurses I had for my daughter they were angels literally angels 💗 My man was helping me shower but our nurses never left the room while I was in the shower 🚿 ❤

I wish I had a nurse like you with my first! They left me lay in the bed while I begged to use the bathroom (never helped me so I ended up peeing all over myself), put me in the shower with no soap or anything, I still couldn’t feel much but they left me alone and my husband had to come hold me up, then never came back with a towel

This is VERY NICE OF YOU ! ❤ After birth some moms get postpartum depression I know I did and having your bathroom set up really makes you feel cared for

I will never forget my L&D nurse helping me pee after giving birth and wiping me and fixing me with one of those lovely post Partum diapers. She was just taking the best care of me and was so considerate. It’s such a vulnerable time and she was the absolute best. Thank you for all that you do!

This is so amazing! After 3 kids I never had a nurse put so much thought into these thing. You are so thoughtful and sweet!

1st shower after my c-section was awful. My nurses were so helpful and i had juice and crackers waiting for me since it was very late at night. I was miserable and uncomfortable but i sat in the rocking chair all night and held my daughter as she slept😂

You’re absolutely amazing! Anyone who haves you helping them after birth is truly blessed..

I didn't even have the first shower at the hospital. I had mine at home because the hospital was more worried about getting my baby and me out of the hospital so they could clean the room. I'm not kidding, and I thought, okay, you're telling me you don't have enough rooms.

You should be so proud of yourself. You seem like a great and caring nurse. ❤

The nurses that helped me with my first shower after birth were angels. I had never felt so pampered and cared for ❤ After each of my kid’s births I sent the nurse station a card and hand written letter of appreciation.

When my oldest was born, I knew my family was on their way with cameras, this was 1998, so still film. Well, as soon as they took my daughter for screening and were done with me, I got up for a shower. My daughters dad asked what I was doing. I said I'm nasty and sweaty. I'm taking a shower. The nurse came in to check on me while I was in there and asked him why he let me go alone. He said you try telling her she can't do that. Lol. I felt better when the tribe descended on me. They all needed pics of the 1st grandchild having the 1st great-grandchild.

I will never forget the L&D nurse on morning shift. She was phenomenal and helped me every step of the way.

my first time after csection, I had the best nurse I kept apologizing for everything and she was so sweet

Glad to finally see one of these videos that's so sweet and genuinely thoughtful and probably makes the patients lives better, like literally the rest of their entire life will be effected for the better because of one persons choice to be kind to them in such a scary, difficult time. So many examples I've seen of nurses online is being rude and cruel behind their patients backs... I know that's not all of you, but it sucks that they're so prevalent, so this is refreshing

That first shower after birth just hits different.

The first shower is both terrifying and the best thing ever all at once 😢 now I gatta do it again in 3 months

I have no idea where you work or even where I'll give birth at one point in my life but I hope it will be under your care lol

That first shower really is life giving! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Oh my goodness you’re an angel!!! Wow ❤❤❤

That comment at the end about the first shower after birth being life-giving!!! Yes!!!!

Nurses never helped me once I popped the kids out. Last time, the nurse was like…. super bitch. My pediatrician actually called her out when she came to see the baby the next day. Thank you for your kindness.

Birth already is life giving Give these mamas all the respect and love they deserve for populating the entire world and enduring all the agony that comes with it Their hearts are so much bigger than we could ever imagine

That 1st shower really is tho! I felt like a whole new woman after lol

Thank you!! Awesome nurse!!! Im 9 wks and pray for a great nurse likr i had my last delivery! She held my hand while i was naked and laboring in the tub in pain and emotional and begged her not to leave, she never did!

Oh boy my first shower after a c section my nurse goes “where’s your tape?” And I’m like “tape? Omg am I going to split open?“ and she felt so bad she said “omg no, just usually the surgeon adds tape but she jhst did a great stitch job.” I nearly fainted and can go the rest of my life without that experience 😅

I’m pregnant with my fourth. I really hope the nurses on base are this attentive to their patients. This is next level thoughtfulness! Love it!

You guys are amazing!

The nurses when I gave birth treated me like a queen and was very gentle with my son. They answered a lot of questions. They didn't seem bothered or annoyed by it either.

the thought of someone helping me shower or get dressed.... absolutely not 😭😭

You're so sweet. I'm forever grateful for the nurses that made my experiences so lovely. I had no family whatsoever and the little things meant more to me than I could ever thank them for.

Girl I wish I had you 😂😂 my nurses postpartum kept asking if my baby was ready for circumcision when we had NO circled on the white board, and didn’t check to see if I showered [I did not]. Girlllll I watched the lady “clean” my shower and watched her mop right around a big azz drop of blood on the floor 😭😭😭😭😭 I said no ma’am I’m gonna sit in my nasty 1st time mama juices and cry it out till I get home and shower in my own clean tub 😂

I'm pregnant with my 7th child and I've never had a L&D nurse or anybody do this for me in the hospitals I've been to 😂 You're a saint ❤

If there’s a place to sit down…I liked to put a towel or two on it and just sit and soak up the warm water after having my babies

I wish I had you as my nurse when i took my first shower after birth. None of my nurses helped me with the shower but luckily I had my bd to help. 🙏🏼

oh it absolutely is! i actually hit active labor as soon as i was gonna use the shower for pain!!

No nurses ever did this for me with any of my 4 kids! How nice of you to help with this!! It was so cold in the shower and my towel was so small I would have loved having some help

I would do this job if it didn’t involve all the years of school

If the whole world was as kind and caring as these nurses,the world would be so much better

Can I have you as my Nurse next time I decide to have another baby please.

Not just after birth, but any time your in the hospital after a procedure, after birth also refreshing and energizing.

I swear, none of my L&D nurses did this for me you just seem like one of the special ones that everyone will try to get you’re doing amazing things for new mothers

L&D nurses are LITERAL angels, I swear.

Man, I truly wish I had a nurse like you when I was giving birth to my 2nd child. His birth was so traumatic, the staff treated me so badly/didn't care. Would have been so nice to have someone who actually cared and was supportive 😭 I'm too scared to even step into a hospital to birth again. My last 2 babies have been born at a birthing center and it was a lovely experience but sometimes you need a hospital and i just wish all staff were like you 😔

You literally sound like a dream nurse! ❤

L&D nurses are angels. Gave birth alone and was in the hospital alone but I never felt like it because they took such great care of us

Istg L&D nurses are literal godsends. When I first gave birth they were angels, and the second time too. They were on standby every step of the way and I love em all for that ❤

Omg that first shower was amazing, and even more so because I wound up having to have a C-section and couldn't shower for over 24 hours. I felt so grungy.

I was in an L&D unit for 15 weeks prior to a stillbirth. The nurses truly became my friends (truly one of them still is to this day,) and they really made my stay and the loss of my baby so much easier. What you’re doing means so much!

So beautiful thank you for being so compassionate

Such a thoughtful woman.

I wish I had this kind of help when I had my kids.. It's great to have someone help you before and after you shower after having your babies.. Thank you so much for what you do.

I’m almost wanting to do L&D because I had such a horrible experience with nobody batting an eyelash in my direction, I would love to make a mother feel comfortable, and seen during her stay

Awe, that's awesome. I wish I had nurses like you. Im thankful for my husband. He helped with everything after I gave birth.

I can agree with needing a shower almost immediately, only have one people nugget so far. L&D nurses are so patient and caring. As a terrified new mom I was all over the place. They were right there with me the whole way.

So true!!!! The first shower after birth is HEAVEN SENT 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿! OMG! Mom of 4 💜💙💙💙

Help with these things you need IS LIFE -GIVING!! Nurses can be ANGELS 😇

I have 3 kids and at each delivery the L&D nurses are what made all the difference. As the person who just gave birth, you are at your most vulnerable and also the most needy. To have those women show that extreme level of compassion, kindness, and willingness to help in LITERALLY every circumstance was so amazing and I was grateful beyond words.

I'm not pregnant (nor do I have any intention of becoming pregnant until I'm married) but I hope and pray I have a nurse like you. I'm a really anxious person and I know I'll be worried about everything and probably crying a lot.

That is so kind of you. I know all those small things you remember make such a difference to women who have just been through having a baby!

This is amazing. I never had this experience with my two vaginal deliveries and one C-section for twins.

I’m glad you help all those moms when they are ready to take a shower. I had a bad experience when I delivered my baby the nurse made me get a shower right after giving birth because she said I had to get “cleaned”. She didn’t even help me I was all alone. I lost a lot of blood because of that and she even told the other nurses it was my idea.

I never had this for both my kids. They threw the items in a bucket and handed it to me 😂😂

I love a good shower but that first postpartum shower is heaven!

She sounds like the nurse I need for my upcoming delivery.

I wish when I delivered, that I had a nurse who cared half as much as you do!! 💜

She not wrong. After delivery the young lady that helped me was so patient and kind I felt so embarrassed feeling as weak as I did to where I needed help just standing up right at first but after she helped me to the shower to wash up it felt so nice. Like it's indescribable how nice it felt and it does revitalize you and your sore body.
