Q&A Friday: Yoga intentions during pregnancy, tea and creating rituals for yourself with Hayley.
The Pregnancy Diaries with Midwives Amanda and JessShow Notes
In this episode of The Pregnancy Diaries, we’re joined by Hayley Snow, founder of Harmony Blends and yoga instructor, for a beautiful and grounding conversation all about slowing down and connecting with your baby during pregnancy 🤍
Together, we explore the power of gentle movement, breath, and intention, and how creating small, mindful rituals can support both your body and your nervous system throughout pregnancy. Hayley shares her journey into supporting women through this season of life, along with simple, practical ways you can begin to build a deeper connection with your baby each day. Alongside this episode, we’ve also created a 45 minute prenatal yoga practice for you to follow along at home. Designed to help you soften, feel supported, and tune in, this session is safe for all stages of pregnancy and can be returned to whenever you need a moment of calm.
This episode is your reminder that connection doesn’t need to be complicated. It can start with a single breath.
As always, please consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new movement or wellness practice during pregnancy.
We’d love to hear how this episode makes you feel. Enjoy creating new rituals 🤍

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.
