The Pregnancy Diaries with Midwives Amanda and JessShow Notes
Jess has had her baby! 🤍 Just two days after giving birth, Jess sits down with Amanda, still in hospital and still processing it all, for a completely raw and unfiltered birth debrief. In this episode, Jess talks through her labour and birth while it is all still incredibly fresh. What happened, what she expected, what surprised her, how she felt in the moment and how she is feeling now as she adjusts to being a mum of three. There is something so special about hearing a birth story before the dust has even settled. No perfectly rehearsed version, no weeks to process it, just Jess, two days postpartum, sharing it exactly as it happened. From labour to birth, the first cuddles and those emotional first 48 hours, this is Jess’s birth story told in real time. 🤍 Trigger warning: This episode discusses labour, birth and postpartum experiences. Welcome to the world, baby boy. 🩵

Part 2 of our Genetics Series with Elena we dive deeper into what our genetics can actually tell us. 🧬 Can two healthy parents with no family history have a baby with a genetic condition? What does a diagnosis in one child mean for siblings or future pregnancies? And what happens when genetic testing gives you a result that isn’t completely clear?
What does it actually mean when you’re told something could be genetic? 🧬 In Part 1 of our Genetics Series, we’re joined by Elena specializing in genetics to unpack genetics in a way that actually makes sense. We chat about the difference between screening and diagnostic testing, NIPT, CVS and amniocentesis, why families may be referred to genetics, and what can happen when something unexpected is picked up during pregnancy or on an ultrasound. We also explore the question so many parents immediately ask: “Is this genetic?” An informative conversation for anyone pregnant, planning a pregnancy or navigating an unexpected finding or diagnosis. 🤍 Disclaimer: This episode is for general education and information only and does not replace individual medical or genetic advice.
