“To all the mommas who give birth, adopt, foster, who love their babies in heaven, who yearn for pregnancy, who are now empty nesters, and those with a full house, you’re all super heroes”
Her Story
Though I’ve never been pregnant or had a baby myself, I’ve taken care of countless women through all stages of pregnancy and delivery. I get to see it all from a completely different perspective. I’ve had the privilege of being a Labor & Delivery nurse for over eight years, three of which I was able to work as a travel nurse caring for diverse populations throughout the country. Every day I work, I labor on (quite literally) with women one of the most significant days of their life. Being with a woman during her most vulnerable hours or days has opened my eyes to the strength we as women have within us. Whether they have an elective induction, a scheduled c-section, homebirth, epidural, no epidural—they are bringing a baby (or babies!) into this world and that is beyond incredible! I’ve delivered a mom’s 10th baby, and I’ve delivered a couple’s first baby after years of infertility and their last attempt at IVF. Sometimes it’s easy to forget the miracle I get to witness most shifts, but I still have deliveries where I tear up like it’s the first one I’ve seen. Coaching that mom, encouraging her that she can keep doing this, that she is strong and capable, and then seeing her continue pushing with every ounce of strength she has in order see her baby and hear that first cry is one of my favorite parts of this job. I’ve helped labor and deliver my sister, my dearest friends, and patients who started as strangers and left as friends. I’ve built bonds with patients and their families that I will always cherish. Just last week I was at a local coffee shop and was recognized by the father of a baby I helped deliver several years ago; it was so special to have been remembered and especially to get an update on the family! I love to see them years later, either around town or back in the hospital getting to help deliver their next baby.
Not all labor stories are as joyous or easy as ones we so often hear about. Just last year I monitored the unborn baby of a momma who was intubated in the ICU due to COVID-19. When days before I had done the same, but had conversation with her and learned her baby and my nephew I helped deliver 3 months prior shared the same name. Praise Jesus she and that baby boy are strong and healthy today! I’ve been a part of a team of nurses and physicians coming together to save a woman and her baby, performing an emergency c-section and delivery within 12 minutes of the patient arriving on the unit. Sometimes I’m the first person to be with a woman has she is having a miscarriage. I have felt a fraction of the pain a mother feels when she is told her baby no longer has a heartbeat. You never get used to delivering, bathing, and dressing that baby; to hearing the sobs of the family and crying alongside them.
The journey of pregnancy, to labor & delivery, and postpartum can hold the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. To all the mommas who give birth, adopt, foster, who love their babies in heaven, who yearn for pregnancy, who are now empty nesters, and those with a full house, you’re all super heroes. I am always is awe of you! So keep going, be reminded of your strength, know that you are not alone in the challenges you face, don’t be afraid to ask the questions and talk about the hard things—ask your doctor for more information, let your family and friends know how you’re struggling (they can probably relate!). Pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum carry a load of emotions, changes to our bodies, and so many unknowns. So as a labor & delivery nurse who has cared for many mommas in many stages, I’m here to tell you that you are STRONG, CABABLE, BRAVE, and are part of a community of others cheering you on and there to empathize and run alongside you (and sometimes even carry you).

Good work speaks for itself. Not sayingthis just to seem relevant neither is it a paid advertisement or review. But everyonewho has had their funds or crypto stolen can listen, attest, and affirm that, that’sthe most depressing thing ever. Your mind keeps bullying you on how you saw thesigns and indications of how that investment was just a scheme but went aheadto make the deposit or give out your details. Before I met DECODE HACKERS, the saviorof my 3 BITCOINS fraudulent loss, I had run into a sunken spirit. Life seemedlike a huge game at the moment. Shortly after trying them out, they sent me avideo of how they had tapped into the account holding my BTC. In an account inBerlin. It was a quick operation from there to ensure the BTC was not withdrawnor transferred by the fraudsters. My cryptos were back and that came as a hugerelief to my engraved mind. I do believe now that all hope is not lost andthere exists trustworthy and credible hackers out here. All the best as youseek help too.

I was initially drawn to the investment scheme due to the promises of high returns and the assurance of a secure investment. However, as time went on, I began to realize that the investment was nothing but a scam. I lost access to my investment and was left feeling helpless and frustrated. It was a painful experience, and I felt like I had no options left. After some research online, I came across several crypto recovery services and read reviews and testimonials from previous clients. It was essential to find a reputable and trustworthy service to help me recover my investment. After careful consideration, I decided to contact Schwartz Software Hackers Services, who had excellent reviews and testimonials.telegram (https://t.me/schwartzsoftwarehackers) I was impressed by their professionalism and responsiveness, and they explained the recovery process in detail, which gave me hope. After a successful recovery I promised to give a review of their wonderful job. I highly Recommend Schwartz Software Hackers Services to all scam victims seeking help to get back their lost Crypto.
