For more than a decade, Kimberly Heathcote, BSN, RN, has been the steady hand, calming voice, and unwavering support through tens of thousands of bedside hours in Labor and Delivery. She has stood present for first breaths, final pushes, unexpected turns, and life-changing moments — guiding families with compassion, confidence, and the kind of real-world experience textbooks can’t teach.
Now, she brings that same bedside wisdom straight to you.
In her debut volume in the Welcome to Labor and Delivery series, Kim walks you through childbirth exactly the way she does with her patients — with honesty, reassurance, and the deep belief that you deserve to feel safe, informed, and empowered throughout your birth experience.
This isn’t a clinical manual.
This isn’t a list of questions and answers or someone else’s story.
This is your story in the making.
This is real talk, real emotion, and the steady voice of a nurse beside you when you need it most.
You’ll learn:
- What’s happening in your body — and why it matters
- What contractions actually feel like and how to work with them, not against them
- How to cope through every stage of labor — from fear to pressure to pushing
- Your pain management options, explained in clear, supportive language
- Inductions, epidurals, tears, and cesarean births made understandable and approachable
- How nurses protect you, advocate for you, and guide each decision
- What to expect at every turn — even the ones you didn’t plan for
Kim wrote this book while actively working as a bedside Labor and Delivery nurse, ensuring the information is current, practical, and grounded in real clinical experience. Her mission is simple: to help you feel confident, supported, and never alone as you move through one of life’s most powerful moments.
This book is your nurse.
This book is your steady hand to hold.
This book is the voice reminding you that you are stronger than you think.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
