After This Photo Of A Nurse Went Viral, Moms Flooded The Internet With Stories That Will Amaze You
When a woman is giving birth, the right nurse can make all the difference in how she gets through and remembers the milestone event. Jill Krause, the writer behind parenting blog Baby Rabies, recently took to Facebook to express her gratitude for labor and delivery nurses, and she ended up setting off a chain reaction of love and support.
Krause started it all by sharing a poignant photo of a nurse helping a woman on the toilet after delivering a baby, taken by birth photographer Katie Lacer, and pairing with a touching anecdote about the nurses who helped her with the very same thing after her own birth. Unexpectedly, the post triggered a wave of moms who shared their own heartwarming stories and photos – as well as mass appreciation for Lacer and her incredible portfolio of work. The entire thread has now been shared more than 65 thousand times.
Scroll down to see the birth photos that everyone is talking about now, and join in on the love-fest. If you’ve ever had a nurse leave a lasting impression on you, tell us about them in the comments!

Celebrities, athletes & the well-to-do are not the people we should be celebrating, it's good folks like these. Add nurses to the list of unsung heroes.

The sad part is we're capable of multi-tasking as I believe that there are plenty of celebrities and athletes who use their platform for good and raising money for charities. And there are good people with thankless jobs that should be praised. Why we can't praise them together instead of picking one over the other I don't know.

Not childbirth related but, I'll always remember the lovely nurse who helped me shower my bottom half and washed my hair for the first time after my bilateral mastectomy. I felt so bad but she ended up talking to me so much she got her shoes soaked in water. She complimented me on my skin and reassured me that my fake breasts looked fine. I'll never forget her.

My wife worked in a hospital and help other woman give birth to their childs. it was hard of course but she never felt so much appreciated in her life. She's working in another place now and she's not remotely appreciated as she was in that time. and not only by the client, but by their bosses as well. People has no idea how craps nurses can take also from their bosses who sit on theirs butts all day.
