Wow, this is beautiful, and so much to process.

I am grateful to have had an incredibly caring OB/GYN, L & D nurses, and a hospital where I felt nothing but cared for and treated as a human. (With the exception of nurse Ratched, who stabbed my arm four times looking for a vein until they finally gave up.) I have always been grateful… but only recently did I understand that experience as anything but universal. Something is wrong when people don’t feel they have the right medical support at arguably the most vulnerable moment of their entire lives.
