Susanna shares her thoughts on the miracle of birth from her perspective as a labor & delivery nurse

@susanna.stanbury

“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).

    These individuals really helped me get my money back, and I really appreciate it. Bradley Dell is my name, and I’m a young single man. A few months ago, I was duped by a trading site that promised daily gains of 18%, and I lost over 3.7BTC to them. I became interested in this and decided to invest. I kept running into phoney recovery professionals while trying to get it back. Even though I had a difficult year overall, I was duped multiple times last year, and ever since then, I’ve had trouble taking care of myself and making ends meet. I told a close friend since I was finding things so difficult. He then gave me the rundown on CYBERETRIEVE, a premier hacking collective that employs rootkits and spammers forrecovery of cryptocurrencies. My only remaining hope was to contact them; even though their service is a little pricey, with my friend’s assistance, I was able to make a partial payment. They deliver excellent results with seamless, fast, and efficient services.That they were able to get back more than what I had lost to those heartless con artists delighted me. It was truly beautiful and definitely worth the work. I strongly suggest anyone having similar experiences, falling for a scam, or investing in a phoney platform like me to get in touch with them in order to get their hard-earned money back because they are skilled at retrieving and hacking of any kind. Cyberetrieve@mail.com is their email address, while @cyberetrieve is their Telegram account.You’ll thank me for employing them.

    HIRE A LICENSED HACKER – BLISS PARADOX RECOVERY TO GET A STOLEN BTC RECOVERED.
    Being scammed by any means is not some good experience that anyone should ever come across. I started my crypto journey 3 years ago and it has never been such a good experience for me, I have been defrauded over $390k worth of bitcoin. I was fooled by fake investors I came across in Proton 5, all my funds were frozen. They even asked me to make another deposit of $6k so that I can unfreeze my money. I became devastated and so I decided to consult Bliss Paradox Recovery for help, submitted all the necessary things they asked. They were able to unfreeze and recover my funds, thanks to them.
