Birth Vibes: Stories and Strategies for an Empowered Birth

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER USA TODAY BESTSELLER ‘I highly recommend Birth Vibes for pregnant women who plan to have hospital births.’ Ina May Gaskin, CPM 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 labour and delivery nurse, ER veteran and mum herself, Jen has been a steady presence at thousands of births (and on millions of screens). In Birth Vibes she uses both humour 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 allowing them adapt to whatever birth brings with confidence and calm.
