"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

"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

"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."
--Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play
