Friday Chats: Births, Besties and Behind the Scenes.
The Pregnancy Diaries with Midwives Amanda and JessShow Notes
Birth, Besties and Behind the Scenes 🤍 This episode is a special one. We sit down with Lana Everitt from Lana Everitt Photography, who is not only an incredible photographer but also a midwife and antenatal educator. Our journey together goes far beyond work… we have actually been at each other’s births, supporting one another through some of the most raw, emotional and unforgettable moments of our lives.
We chat about how Lana found her passion for photography alongside midwifery, and how Jess stepped into the world of podcasting with Amanda to create Pregnancy Diaries. This episode is a mix of real birth stories, career pivots, friendship, and plenty of laughs along the way. We also talk about the power of capturing birth, what happens behind the scenes, and why having the right support around you matters so much during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
There is also an exciting giveaway happening right now in collaboration with Lana Everitt Photography. Head over to our Instagram to enter and find all the details.

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.
