Doctors and nurses get a bad rap. They're impersonal, rough, inconsistent, and stoic (just to name a few). But, what about the nurse or doctor who helped you to enjoy your stay? What about the doctor or nurse that went beyond the call of duty to make you feel comfortable? They do exist, but unfortunately bad stories are told 10 times more often than good stories. Let's change that. I'll start.
When my cousin Linda was in early labor she had an excellent nurse by the name of Carly (Greenville Memorial Hospital). Carly was so sweet! She never acted as if we were waiting on the 28th baby to be born that weekend. She took our concerns seriously, respected our wishes, and even cracked a joke or two. I've contacted Greenville Memorial to get Carly's last name, a photo, or something but I was told that Carly doesn't work there anymore. If anyone knows Carly, please have her email me so that we can represent her properly. But in the meantime, shout-out the nurse/doctor who went above and beyond for you or someone you know (maybe even yourself).
WELCOME!!
Hello ladies! First I want to thank you for visiting The Belly Button Connection (TBBC). TBBC was originally created as a forum for mothers: aspiring, expecting, and veteran. The name was derived from the baby’s connection to the mother: physically, mentally, and emotionally. I wanted TBBC to be a place where women received both accurate and positive feedback about pregnancy. Since creating TBBC I’ve learned that our thoughts about pregnancy, motherhood, and womanhood start long before the onset of puberty. In fact, it starts with our relationships with our own mothers, aunts, sisters, and peers. Our hardships are not our own. They are passed down from generation to generation, friend to friend, spouse to spouse, parent to child. This doesn’t have to be the case. Leo Buscaglia said it best when he said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
TBBC is that touch, smile, kind word, listening ear, honest compliment, and smallest act of caring. My mission is to keep you abreast on events, programs, and seminars that will be beneficial to you as well as partner with organizations that will improve your confidence, increase your self-esteem, and help you become the woman you strive to be for yourself, your family, and generations to follow.

I want to give a shout out to DR. BRANDI K ALT @ Highlands Center for Women (Greenville,SC). I went to Highlands Center for Women to get an annual and she was my gynocologist. When she walked in I was lying down and she said, "You can sit up. We're going to talk for just a little bit." So, I sat up and we talked. Not a quick, let me get you in and out, don't ask any questions, time is money type of talk. We actually TALKED! I thought that was awesome. She was very nice, very reassuring, very gentle. She answered all of my questions without rushing. She was absolutely awesome. So, I want to give a shout out to her and all the doctors like her. Thanks, Dr. Alt.
