I absolutely love reminiscing about the birth of all six of my children. Each birth and hospital experience was lovely and unique, thanks to all the labor and delivery nurses who I trusted to take care of me and our newborns during their first hours of life. 

 #ThankYouNurses

It’s amazing to me the love these nurses pour out to new mothers and babies. I think it would be such a rewarding, but exhausting career. I mean, after all, we are kinda crazy and hormonal after pushing out a human. Well, at least I was.

First Time EVER

Pampers Swaddlers announces its Thank You Nurses campaign – a program that celebrates the essential role nurses play during the first few minutes, hours and days between newborns and their parents. This campaign honors nurses that go above and beyond to make life #BetterforBaby every day.

I even remember my nurses’ names for each of my children.

The Thank You Nurses campaign, in partnership with the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), honors nurses in three award categories:

  • Labor and delivery
  • NICU 
  • Postpartum

To celebrate National Nurse Appreciation Week in May, Pampers Swaddlers is announcing a grand prize nurse honoree to acknowledge her dedication and commitment to making life better for babies and new parents. The grand prize honoree will be featured in an upcoming Pampers advertisement placed with AWHONN.

Please take a minute and check out the Labor & Delivery nurse, Anne Gallagher, who was selected as the Pampers Swaddlers #ThankYouNurses Award Grand Prize honoree! Anne is a nurse at the University of Illinois Hospital  and focuses on empowering moms to form special bonds with their newborns.

I distinctly remember one of my nurses always encouraging me when she left the room to enjoy nursing my little one. I honestly don’t think anyone had ever told me that before. It’s a joy to nurse your own little blessing, but often we take it for granted and her words were a great, encouraging reminder.
