What Maternity Nurses Wish You Knew About Pregnancy

“We don't care about the things you think we care about,” explains Amanda B, a nurse from Austin Texas. “The extra five pounds from the donuts you were craving, the mix-matched clothes, or messy hair because it’s just so hard to sleep when you’re 38 weeks pregnant—none of those things matter to us. What matters is how you’re feeling physically and emotionally, and how your pregnancy is progressing.”
