My friend’s mom is a labor and delivery nurse with 40 years of experience. She has seen a lot and when my friend and I were pregnant at the same time, she had much wisdom to share, which helped answer the many questions of new moms. One of the things she has noticed over the years is that when a mother comes in anxious, unsure if she can do it, worried and stressed out especially about labor and delivering their baby — the nurses relieve so much worry by sharing a simple statement: “We’ll take good care of you.” In her nursing experience over the years, she has shared this simple statement with countless women. And for each new mom it is this exact thing that they need to hear: that they aren’t alone, they aren’t forgotten, that in the middle of this big, life-changing thing that is about to happen, there will be people who will help care for them. And knowing that they will be taken care of causes a physical change within each woman — she can relax and focus on what she needs to do knowing she isn’t alone.
