What to expect

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

Critics Review

“Every expectant parent should read Birth Vibes. Jen Hamilton takes what’s often overwhelming and turns it into something deeply human and empowering. Her stories, humor, and honesty make you feel like you’re sitting with a friend who’s been there and knows exactly how to help you find your voice. This book doesn’t just prepare you for birth; it changes how you think about it."
 —Hadley Vlahos, New York Times bestselling author of The In-Between
“Compassionate, real, and reassuring. Jen Hamilton may not be in the delivery room with you, but once you read Birth Vibes, you’ll feel like she is.”
 —KC Davis LPC, bestselling author of How to Keep House While Drowning
"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.”
 —Ina May Gaskin, author of the international bestseller Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
"This is the book every expecting parent needs. Through beautiful, honest storytelling, Hamilton gives readers permission to let go of shame, guilt, and the pressure to have it all figured out without compromising their values.  Birth Vibes offers a refreshingly compassionate roadmap built on boundaries, clarity, and real communication, because growing a family shouldn’t mean losing yourself.”
