Special announcment

Hello family members and labor support people! Please remember to be nice, and not nasty, to the nurse taking care of your loved one. We are doing our absolute best to take good care of them.

However, when you act stupid, obnoxious, argumentative, defensive, and downright nasty, you make my job taking care of YOUR loved one so much more difficult.

And I won't hesitate to call security on your ass to remove you from the hospital.

Sincerely,
The Nurse

PS: blaming the IV fluids given to you during your own birth 6 months ago for the residual "fatness" in your hands, feet and abdomen is just plain wrong. Sorry if you don't believe me. But you peed that IV fluid out months ago.

To the doula

Dear Doula:

I hated having to tell you that you couldn't come back to the OR or to the recovery room with the woman you have been supporting all day in her labor. You do realize that I have rules I have to follow?

Screw the rules.

The woman who hired you as her labor support deserves better than what I can give her. She deserves you.

I may not have been able to sneak you into the OR, but I sure as heck can sneak you into the recovery room.

You're an awesome doula. I hope I see you again soon!

Sincerely,
AtYourCervix
