Birth expectations. Was your experience exactly as you imagined it? I have a feeling, a majority of you will say there was some sort of speed bump along the road. And I imagine, it left you feeling unfulfilled, sad, maybe even angry. You are not alone.

Jen Hamilton is a labor and delivery nurse that also doubles as your biggest advocate, online. We had a great conversation about her mission to educate, support, and nurture any Mama through their healthcare decisions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Misinformation, and the danger it poses when circulated online
• How Jen is helping healthcare professionals provide more compassion and empathy before, during and after labor
• How to manage expectations and anxieties when making plans for our babies
• The "Hot Mess Express," and how the movement is helping overwhelmed Moms across the globe feel supported and loved
