The labor nurse who posted an emotional video on TikTok told Newsweek: 'I make sure the parents know it matters to me, that I care.'
In an emotional video shared on TikTok, which can be seen at the top of this article, the labor and delivery nurse demonstrates the steps taken following the death of an infant.
The parents are also given a box for keepsakes and a carefully chosen hand-sewn gown is put on the baby. A screen is then put across the room so the parents can have a photo with their baby if they wish.Sarah toldthat she believes people follow her TikTok account @labor_junkie_rn because they"connect" with her videos in some way, although she advised social media users to"exercise great discretion when following educational accounts.
"I see an extremely broad spectrum of pregnancy and birth as a high-risk labor and delivery nurse. A beautiful, empowering experience for one person may be a dark, traumatic experience for another, even if they had the same outcome. "Oftentimes these disparities are a result of systemic racism or just 'the luck of the draw' … I wanted everyone to receive the same evidence-based information, in a judgment-free, compassionate way so they could make informed decisions and improve their odds of an overall positive experience."
"Connecting with others who have gone through that same experience is a great way to process the experience, feel seen and heard. It also normalizes talking about the loss. You don't have to worry about making somebody feel uncomfortable with your tragedy. You can speak openly and freely."
