Anyone send a thank you note to labor and delivery nurse?

I sent mine last night. My son is 3 months.

I don't know if it's weird or not but I just felt compelled to let this woman know how much she helped me. She was absolutely amazing- 3 months later I am still thinking of her!

 I hope she gets it. It is a large hospital and I just wrote Attn: labor and delivery and her name.

Anyway, just wanted to know if I was the lone dork in the group!

    I did this as well.  My L&D nurses were AMAZING.  I sent them a birth announcement with a nice Thank you on the back.

    Weird, literally minutes ago I was just thinking about this.  I also loved my labor and delivery nurse and was thinking sending a note would be a good way to let her know how awesome she is.

    I was thinking about that too. I work for a gift company and I was thinking about sending a gift to the daytime maternity nurse I had. She was great and was such a  hard worker. I could see that she worked harder than all of the other nurses there. Money is tight right now, so maybe just a thank you note would do.

    I work in L&D and we get them all the time, you are not weird!  I love getting them from patients because even though it's "my job" as a nurse, I still get teary at some births and really connect with people once in a while.  It's not like we're carrying out your groceries or something!  Glad to know that you connected well with your nurse, it can make all the difference in your birth experience.

    First of all, my L&D nurse was a _bitch.  There's a lot more to the story but when my water (clearly) broke she told my mom "oh, don't you think she's ready to push, that is just her mucus plug" in a very rotten way.  I could go on and on about this nurse.

     

    Second, I ran into her and her (crazy ass) daughter at my 6 week pp check up and she had no memory whatsoever of me.

     

    So no, I didn't send a thank you note.  Thanks for what, making my already miserable experience even worse?

    I really should send a thank you to my L&D nurse because she was amazing!  Maybe I will, even though DD is almost 4 months old! I don't think its dorky at all. I'm sure she greatly appreciated it.

    ds was in the nicu for a week and i was also in the hospital for an extra 5 days due to an infection, so i brought cupcakes for the l&d nurses and nicu nurses with thank you notes. i got to know a few of them really well in that week!
