The delivery room is decoded by the internet's favorite labor nurse, Jen Hamilton, in Birth Vibes.

While traditional birth guides emphasize rigid plans and clinical language, Birth Vibes offers something different: warm, relatable, real-talk answers to the questions pregnant people actually ask, that's grounded in Jen's bedside experience as a labor and delivery nurse, ER veteran, and unexpected mom herself.

Birth vibes are the feelings and environment parents want to create during the birth of their children. Using both humor and heart, and sharing her own stories to help readers learn what to expect during labor and delivery, Jen busts harmful myths, breaks down what really happens in the delivery room, and gives readers tools to advocate for the care they want.

Birth Vibes will include a handout that readers can give to the attending staff with the breakdown of their birth plan.

We have an early blurb from Ina May Gaskin, author of the international bestseller Ina May's Guide to Childbirth: "I highly recommend Jen Hamilton's book Birth Vibesfor pregnant women who plan to have hospital births. Jen understands how to communicate with women who feel the same joyful terror -- as she calls it-- that she instantly felt when her own two pregnancies were confirmed. Her skillful storytelling will engage anxious moms, and her explanations as to what to expect in labor and delivery are given with humor, heart, and honesty. Finally, her compassionate approach can help caregivers learn how to create and nurture trust in women who need to know that someone is going to work with them to achieve the best experience possible."
