Daphne Delvaux, Creator of The Mamattorney, to Publish Her Debut Book, Moms in Labor, With HarperCollins Leadership on March 3, 2026

How to embrace motherhood without compromising your career.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Daphne Delvaux, Esq., the founder of the first and only law firm devoted to justice for mothers, and the creator of The Mamattorney, will release her debut book, Moms in Labor: An Employment Lawyer’s Secrets to Protect Your Baby and Your Career (That HR Won’t Tell You), with HarperCollins Leadership on March 3, 2026. This is the handbook HR won’t give you, but the one every expecting or new mother deserves.

During Daphne’s first pregnancy, she learned first-hand how the system was set up to make it as difficult as possible for women to juggle a challenging career along with all the responsibilities of being a new mother. Moms in Labor shows readers how to embrace motherhood without compromising your career with step-by-step strategies and tangible scripts. These tactics have helped women nationwide care for their children, honor their health needs, and embrace their motherhood journeys, all without jeopardizing their ambitions.

Motherhood can feel like a tug-of-war with work. You're constantly deciding when to hold your ground and when to surrender. Finding the right words to discuss motherhood professionally shouldn’t require a legal degree. But too often, it feels like it does.

Inside Moms in Labor, Daphne shares the blueprint and word-for-word scripts she’s used to help you:

• Extend your leave and secure accommodations like telework or flexibility, without losing your job or benefits
• Communicate confidently with your employer and HR in a way that gets results
• Advocate with clarity, not conflict, protecting your baby and your career
• Leverage tools forged from years on the frontlines of maternal rights law

“Becoming a mother showed me that justice doesn’t just live only in the courtroom; it lives in pumping rooms, HR offices, and in every meeting that could have been an email,” said Daphne. “After years defending mothers in pregnancy discrimination cases, I began speaking not just for them but from them, turning hard-won legal insight into practical tools women can use right away. This book is my torch. It is a love letter to mothers and a roadmap to the power they already hold (but are not aware of). Justice for mothers is justice for everyone, and sharing this book feels like a big step toward justice.”

Here is your invitation to channel that creative motherforce, to advocate for yourself with the same devotion you give your child. Give your child the gift of a healthy and present mother. You’ll never regret advocating for your baby. Because your baby doesn’t need a perfectly composed woman who quietly adjusts. Your baby needs a good lawyer.

Moms in Labor will be available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook, with Daphne narrating. You can pre-order today at: https://www.themamattorney.com/book/.
