Dear Labor and Delivery Nurses:
Your work is so very important and special. Unfortunately it is often underappreciated. Doctors often get the credit for the safe arrival of a healthy baby while you have spent the majority of the time caring for the laboring mama, making her comfortable and monitoring the baby closely. You quietly smile and go about your work every day without receiving the recognition that you should. The fact is: we could not do this without you.
