Happy Holidays, from our hearts to yours 💖🎄

18/12/2025

🎄 Christmas may be filled with sparkle and excitement, but it’s not a medical reason to schedule an induction. Your baby has their own perfect timeline, and those final days and weeks of growth truly matter.

Choosing to speed things up without a medical need can come with added risks, so give yourself the space to gather information, feel supported, and make decisions that align with your values and your baby’s wellbeing.

Trust your body, trust your baby, and lean into the journey—your little one will make their debut when the timing is right ✨👶💛

🚗 Alright, let’s rewind for a moment…

Earlier this year I threw out a question just for fun:
How many kilometres do you think I’ve driven this year as a midwife?

Between home visits, births at all hours, last-minute call-outs, and a lot of coffee-fuelled driving… the answer might surprise you 👀

✨ The official number:
From Jan 1 to Dec 15 —17,335.95 kilometres 🚙💨

And here’s the plot twist…
👉 Not a single guess on Facebook or Instagram got it right 😆

So now it’s time for another round👇

💛 Next question:
How many absolute legend, ride-or-die midwives do you think had my back this year?

Drop your guesses below ⬇️ I’m watching 👀

🎄🤰 Pregnant this Christmas? You’re definitely not alone — I’ve had so many food safety questions come through lately!

In Australia, our pregnancy food safety guidelines can feel a lot, especially this time of year. I totally get it. So I’ve put together a simple, practical breakdown to help make things easier.

With the Aussie summer heat + Christmas buffets everywhere, it can feel like a bit of a food safety minefield when you're expecting. From seafood and salads to ham and cheese grazing boards, some things are perfectly fine… and others are better to avoid for now.

👉 Swipe through for easy food safety do’s and don’ts so you can enjoy your Christmas with confidence and peace of mind ✨

✅ Be extra cautious with pre-cooked foods served cold
✅ Heat is your best friend — freshly cooked meals are the safest choice
✅ Store food safely and don’t let dishes sit out for too long
✅ And the golden rule for avoiding foodborne illness… WASH YOUR HANDS!

📌 Save this post for later or share it with a friend who’s expecting this holiday season 💫

EDITED TO ADD: Soft cheeses, cold meats, and smoked fish can be eaten if they’re heated to above 70°C. So yes — baked Brie is absolutely pregnancy-safe 🧀

Crazy busy over here — 6 due dates this month, and we’re 3 births down for December already!
So let’s have a little fun… 🎄✨
If I’ve got 3 babies left to arrive this month, which one do you think will arrive closest to Christmas?

Cast your guess: Baby 3, 4 or 6! 🎅🎁👇"

😂 Me listening to my husband say he ‘didn’t sleep well’ when he fell asleep in a minute and snored like a tractor through all the baby wake ups — does your beloved do this?

STOP! Don’t Wash This Off Your Newborn — Here’s Why 🚨

Vernix caseosa — that white, creamy layer you often see on newborns — is so much more than just “birth coating.”
It’s a biological masterpiece created to protect babies throughout pregnancy into life outside.

* Vernix works as a natural barrier, helping minimise heat and water loss in those fragile first hours after birth.
* It’s packed with antimicrobial peptides that help guard against infection.
* Its rich, lipid-based structure keeps newborn skin hydrated - ‘baby soft skin, anyone?’ - and supports the growth of a healthy skin microbiome.
* When left on the skin, vernix helps with temperature regulation and overall skin integrity.

Why it matters:
Wiping vernix away too soon means losing these incredible benefits. Delaying the first bath allows this protective layer to absorb naturally. You can even delay it a week or so - it’s not like they’re rolling around in the dirt!

✨ Evidence-based care starts with honouring the biology that’s already working beautifully.

✨ Remember my question from the other day — “How many babies do you think have crossed my path this year?” 👶✨
Well… here’s the answer!

I’ve welcomed 18 beautiful babies earthside so far in my First Year Midwife tally — and I’m expecting around 6 more before the year wraps up. 🌙💛

Now let’s level up the fun…
