Childbirth is one of life’s most powerful experiences—but it can also be overwhelming. Too often, expecting parents are prompted to create their perfect “birth plan,” only to feel disappointed or even traumatized if things go differently. That’s where Jen Hamilton comes in.

A labor and delivery nurse, ER veteran, and mom herself, Jen has been a steady presence at thousands of births (and on millions of screens). In Birth Vibes, she uses both humor and heart, sharing her own stories to help readers learn what really happens in the delivery room and gives readers tools to advocate for the personalized care they need. Instead of unyielding checklists, she encourages parents to learn their birth vibes—a blend of values, vision, and who they are as a person so they can adapt to whatever birth brings with confidence and calm.

Birth Vibes is the ultimate companion for anyone preparing to give birth—or supporting someone who is. Warm, funny, and deeply grounded in real-life experience, this is the guide every parent deserves.

Jen Hamilton is a labor and delivery nurse who has a social media following of over 6 million across platforms. She has more than a decade of bedside experience, helping families navigate the most impactful days of their lives. Jen has been featured in media outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Daily Mail, The New York Post, and more. She lives in North Carolina with her family.
