Setting up a mom's shower after birth! #shorts

What the q tips for

I’ve had 5 babies in 5 hospitals across 4 different states and not a single nurse has ever done this for me 😢 protect this women at all costs!

Anna, I have said it many times on your shorts, but I hope I have a L&D nurse as awesome as you. I'm a week away from my induction (I have preeclampsia), and I am terrified! This is my first child and while I'm not worried about pain, I'm worried about my experience and my baby. Hope the lord blesses me with an awesome nurse like you. ❤

Whatever hospital you work at, that's where I want to get care. The hospitals where I live couldn't care less about a new mom, a 50 yr old recovering from surgery, the ER. It's all the same poor care. Overworked, underpaid and it shows. Yet we get charged thousands on top of the thousands we already pay for insurance if you have the luxury of insurance. I'm sure there's going be all these people saying it must be me and I'm the only one experiencing that but healthcare is not equal across the US. Some states are worse than others and it's actually a huge reason why we are moving.... From my hometown state of 30 years. The decline in care, actual real care, is scary. The miscarriage keepsake box I saw in one of your other videos, that's the FIRST TIME I've ever even heard of something like that. That's not a thing where I live. Had no clue that existed.

I could NEVER have a baby!

Hi

I'd love to have nurse like this

Wow, I had to ask for all this and got none of the help. You are so nice.

Times have really changed, it would have been awesome to have a nurse like you when I gave birth to my 4 children

Legit midwifes are amazing. I remember my first shower after my emergency c-section/ preeclampsia. I was bed ridden for days. When I finally could get up without almost passing out she helped me walk to the shower. I could barely walk. no joke she helped me undress, get my things, lotion, soap ready etc. I did not give a single f and she was so good to me. Y’all midwife’s really see us at our worst and help us heal Inside and out 😢

Isn't it funny that after you have that first baby, you lose almost all of your modesty? These nurses see this several times a day and follow the golden rule. They treat their new mommies as they would want to be treated. GOD Bless nurses❤

😊😊😊😊😊

Wow I got a towel and that was it. They did not even watch my baby.

I wish I had a nurse as amazing as you. My first shower after giving birth was rough

You are so sweet ❤ you care for your patients and give them so much care and support. Keep going!

Can you be my nurse in like 10+ years when I have my first child? 🤣

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

I remember my first time shower after giving birth. They wanted to help me. But I was fine and told them to take care of my little one. I walked all alone to the shower and in 5 minutes I was fully washed, dried and had my clothes back on. But the nurses wanted to help, but I didn’t need any help.

I recently went to the hospital yesterday for a termination of pregnancy and they said 12 weeks is too late 😢 I’m 14 years old and scared for the pill version

If she isn’t my nurse when I give birth I don’t want it

Yea they were not like that at Lawrence general they wanted to send me home day after c section no assistance showering or any of that kindness

I so hope my husband helps me with my first shower

Im 12 and i wanna be an L&D nurse but I don’t know if the college I want to go to (Yale) even has a nursing program :/

My Mom Helped Me With My First Shower After My First Baby. I Could Barely Stand And Every Move I Made Hurt So Much But She Talked Me Through It. Even Washed My Hair And Most Of My Body For Me. She Helped Me With So Much But Now I Live So Far From Her And Pregnant With My Second Child. I Don't Know How I'm Gonna Do This Without Her 😭

That shower probably added 5000 dollors to the bill. 😂😂😂

U are so sweet to these women❤

😏😏😏

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 😔

My dream job right here!! I’m 13 and you inspire me so much this is what I want to do when I’m older thanks!! ❤❤

The nurse who dried me after my shower was a saint. I literally got out of the shower wondering how the hell I was going to dry myself when I could hardly bend over or stand for too long. She came right in and made me feel so comfortable. It takes a special kind of person to be a nurse. ❤

i had to shower by myself with no soap given and after a c section 🙂

Wait, is it not normal to shower on your own directly after? The two nurses who helped me during my actual labor were absolutely wonderful, but finished their shifts right after my son was born, and every nurse after that avoided me like the plague, wouldn't answer my questions, and always came across kinda snippy, so I did everything on my own. I was just given a general "Don't fall" warning and otherwise left to my own devices unless they needed to catch vitals and such. It was really frustrating feeling trapped in the hospital and repeatedly asking to leave for 2 days straight but nobody would answer my questions, would barely speak any words to me at all. Only on the third day did someone come in and tell me I can be discharged after I watched some VHS tapes on how to not harm the baby. Several hours after the tapes finally arrive and I was so happy to finally get out of there. I was starving and exhausted since I couldn't get any sleep in all those days with nurses coming in all the time checking mine and babies vitals. 😭

Towel for the blood... And then proceeds to use a fresh white towel...

This was so hard after my birth so thank u for explaining because i was wondering what the nurses did for me thank u

Is the father allowed to do the warm towel and dressing if he wants? My partner would love to do that.

If I could guarantee to have such a wonderful nurse like you when it comes time for me to have children, I’d be genuinely so much more at ease over the whole process/idea. Thank you for sharing your content and giving me hope that I might have someone like you taking care of me when I need it ❤

Is this treatment available to every woman in US? Or is this some expensive hospital? In Germany we don’t get such treatment, nobody gave a damn to help me get a shower, no nurse was even to change the bed sheet after it got dirty from blood at night😢

Omg what! I showered at home! I don’t think we even had a shower in my room

Addicted to these videos explaining how hospitals take care of new mothers, but I just found out my sister has a defect in her uterus that makes it impossible for her to give natural birth, and there’s an almost 100% chance I also have that defect… I’ll be able to have kids but I’ll have to get a c-section

I didn’t shower for basically a week after I had my daughter and I felt so gross. I wanted to shower in the hospital but the nurse who was nice, her shift ended and so I didn’t get a chance. But this time, I’m definitely showering after.

Man I wish I'd had that kind of care and service. I'd just get asked I'd bathed yet and then given the side eye if I hadn't.

I don't remember getting help with my first shower, I don't even remember taking one... I'll have to ask my husband about that lol. I may have blocked it out because everything else was so hectic & crazy (complications afterwards.) I just can't remember.

Thank you for your hard work. As a new mom, I now have a horror story involving this and it's good to see someone preparing this 🥹

More than one washcloth please.

Shes so nice

I wish uk hospital hospitals were like this, i understand the money issue butnit just seems like the uk has it wrong when it comes to supporting brand new mums.
I had to drag my bags and bring all my own shampoos and dressing gowns etc.

I had a nurse kick me out of my room in the middle of the night because my baby wouldn't stop crying because I was having trouble breastfeeding and she didn't want my baby to wake up the other babies. So i had to walk around trying to settle him... i had just had a c-section too.

Get that shower ready for when shes laboring!! I stood in the shower for hours it felt amazing. Hot water during back labor kept me going. Made it to 8cm

Oh my god I am already so scared that someone would have to do this much work to accomodate my life choices. I am due with my first in february and I am already so ashamed when people try to work everything around me. I hope I can tell the nurse to please not do this, I want to fix my stuff on my own and they have a ton of other things to do (I have autism and can’t cope with ppl doing stuff for me when I am not well, that forces out my inner crybaby). But that is just my personal preference for me, a lot of mums will be very happy with the amazing work that you do!

It can't be life giving
They already did that
