Back when I had my kids over 20 years ago I was just a scared teenager who really wasn’t prepared at all. I also was induced due to preeclampsia. Luckily my daughter has some of the best doctors in the country at Winnie Palmer and they’re inducing her at 37 weeks due to high blood pressure that has not yet turned into preeclampsia. I think this nurses thank you basket is a cute and thoughtful idea. I feel bad I didn’t make one for my nurses but honestly I didn’t even think about it (nor could I probably afford it at 18). Anyway this is my first grandchild and I will be with my daughter every step along the way. She asked me to vlog the big day so her I am happy to oblige ☺️ #37weekspregnant #induction #newborn #hospital #grandmasoftiktok
Having gone through childbirth myself as a teenager, I understand how overwhelming and scary it can be when you face health challenges during pregnancy, like preeclampsia or high blood pressure. My daughter's induction at 37 weeks brought a lot of emotions back, but with the exceptional care at Winnie Palmer Hospital, I feel confident she is in good hands. To show appreciation to the nurses who support mothers during such crucial times, I decided to pack a thoughtful 'Thank You' basket filled with snacks and drinks. From sparkling waters to gluten-free crisps and prebiotic sodas, these little treats are perfect to boost nurses' energy during long shifts. Including items like sticky rice crisps, savory cheese balls, and herbal teas with positive energy blends adds a personal touch that truly conveys gratitude. From my experience, supporting a loved one during induction requires patience, presence, and encouragement. Being there to vlog the day helped me process the moments and share them with family and friends, creating memories we will cherish forever. If you're planning to support someone through induction or pregnancy complications, preparing a care package for the hospital staff and staying actively involved can make a meaningful difference. This journey as a first-time grandma has been both nerve-wracking and joyous. For anyone experiencing similar circumstances, remember to prioritize self-care as well—hydration and healthy snacks are vital for both caregivers and patients.
