Why limit caffeine in pregnancy?

We know how hard it can be to cut back on coffee (and even chocolate 🍫), but here’s why it matters for you and your baby:

- Caffeine is a stimulant, it raises your heart rate & blood pressure.

- It’s also a diuretic, which can leave you dehydrated.

- It crosses the placenta and because your baby’s system is still developing, they can’t process it like you can.

- Too much can affect baby’s sleep, movements and is linked to risks like low birth weight, miscarriage and preterm labor.

💡 The safe limit is usually under 200mg/day (about 1 cup of coffee) but it’s always best to chat with your healthcare provider about what’s right for you.

Your pregnancy is precious. 💛 Every choice you make is another way of caring for the little one growing inside you. 🌿. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

You were created for this season, equipped for this journey and chosen for the little life inside you. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that your motherhood is a calling, and God has already prepared you to walk in it.⁣⁣⁣

It’s the question I hear the most as a midwife:
“Can I really have a peaceful birth?”

And my answer?
Yes.
But not because everything goes according to plan —
Because God is present.

Peace in birth doesn’t come from control.
It comes from trust.
From preparing with intention.
From knowing you’re not walking into this alone.

Birth is sacred. And when we invite God in, it becomes holy ground. ⁣

Yes, mama you can eat fish while pregnant! 🐟💛
In fact, it’s encouraged. Fish is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which not only support your heart, blood vessels and even help with that “pregnancy brain fog,” but are also essential for your baby’s brain development.

✨ A few things to keep in mind:

- Choose fish from trusted sources.
- Make sure it’s well-cooked (no raw fish during pregnancy).
- Be mindful of mercury levels.

🚫 Fish to avoid completely:
• Swordfish
• Shark
• King mackerel
• Tilefish

👉 Tuna can be enjoyed in moderation, keep it under 170g per week.

So yes, enjoy that grilled salmon or baked hake, mama it’s nourishing for both you and baby! 💕⁣⁣⁣

Birth doesn’t always have to look like bright lights and busy rooms. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes it looks like soft candlelight, gentle monitoring and pages filled with notes. This is the behind-the-scenes of midwifery... holding space, keeping watch and documenting a story that’s still unfolding. 🌙✨⁣

The love story

This love story for midwifery began when I first witnessed new life enter the world as a student nurse. When my eyes were filled with tears of joy for someone that I had just met and my heart melted when the baby gave its first breath and cried unapologetically. I smiled when the father fell onto his knees and kissed his newborn son for the first time on the forehead. I joined the mother when she exhaled in relief when the most severe abdominal pain she had ever experienced came to an end. I felt extremely honoured to share in this joy and be the first to say “Congratulations mom and dad!”

I graduated from the University of Pretoria with a Bachelors degree in Nursing with community nursing, psychiatric nursing and midwifery. I worked at Rahima Moosa Mother and child hospital for two years, learning and growing a a midwife. I was thereafter introduced to the concept of a private midwife at Genesis maternity clinic where I can truly live out my passion.

I believe that pregnancy and birth are the most beautiful of all of God’s creations. He knitted us together in our mothers’ womb, created our inner most being and as the creator of it all, He is surely in control of it all. As humans, it is normal to have some fears and doubts about our bodies and our babies’ wellbeing during labour. However, it’s important for us to understand that God created us and that He will be with us every step of the process: from the moment of conception until the first time you hold your baby in your arms. This special moment never gets old for a midwife- every birth is truly a miracle.

I love being a support structure and a care provider during the pregnancy, labour, birth and the first few weeks of adjustment as a parent. I am always amazed at how strong women really are. How we sometimes underestimate ourselves in a moment of pain or vulnerability. It’s amazing to see how women grow during these times and realize not only their own strength, but also that of their creator. How this bond between us and God strengthens as we learn to depend on Him in difficult situations. How He guides us and helps us to become the strong women of Christ that we didn’t realize we already were. Pregnancy and birth is God’s ultimate way of strengthening the bond He has with women.
