Who is Hilary Erickson and what is her experience in labor and delivery nursing?

I'm Hilary Erickson, a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience in labor and delivery. I've worked in diverse settings, including trauma centers, geriatrics, hospice, and pediatrics. However, my true calling has always been in labor and delivery. I started my career in a busy pediatric night emergency clinic, later working in nursing homes and hospice before finding my passion in labor and delivery in 2001. I've worked in both hospital and birth center settings, and I've helped deliver thousands of babies. I've also taught prenatal classes and have been featured in various publications for my work in prenatal education. I'm known online as The Pregnancy Nurse®, and I'm passionate about helping expectant parents feel confident and informed through realistic, no-fluff prenatal education.
