Synopsis

Read by the author and featuring eight exclusive bonus sections Jen calls “Vaginal Vignettes”: humorous and unforgettable moments from Jen’s real-life experiences in the labor and delivery room.

“A refreshingly compassionate roadmap built on boundaries, clarity, and real communication, because growing a family shouldn’t mean losing yourself.” ―Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play

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 guide readers expectations about what happens in the delivery room. Instead of unyielding checklists, she encourages parents to learn their birth vibes—a blend of values and vision—which unlock the tools to advocate for the personalized care they need.

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: allowing them adapt to whatever birth brings with confidence and calm.

“I highly recommend Birth Vibes for pregnant women who plan to have hospital births.” —Ina May Gaskin, CPM

“This book doesn’t just prepare you for birth; it changes how you think about it.” —Hadley Vlahos, RN

“Compassionate, real, and reassuring.” —KC Davis, LPC

This book made me cry multiple times and I do feel a lot more prepared than I did before.

Love Jen Hamilton and her book was fantastic! I just had my daughter a few days ago, I was reluctant to read any birthing books before hand, but when I saw she had wrote one and could get early access I figured that’s the one to read. 10/10 recommend if you want to read a book on birth, this is the......more

"I highly recommend Jen Hamilton's book Birth Vibes for 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.”
