Summary

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m joined by labor and delivery nurse Jen Hamilton to talk all things pregnancy and birth. Whether you’re expecting, planning to be, have been pregnant before, or want to better support someone in your life, we break down common fears, myths, and what you actually need to know — and we also chat about her upcoming book Birth Vibes, where she demystifies pregnancy and labor with her signature empathetic, inclusive approach.
