Some Christmas advice we can all get behind…

20/12/2025

We sat down with Madi, our in-house dietitian, to chat about how pregnant mamas can enjoy Christmas without missing out.

A simple rule: freshly cooked, hot food is usually the safer option.

Cold prawns, seafood platters and pre-made salads are Christmas favourites, but can be higher risk in pregnancy, especially in the heat. Be cautious with:
🤰 cold prawns and seafood platters
🤰oysters, sashimi and other raw seafood
🤰 pre-made salads
🤰deli meats, pâté and soft cheeses

If food has been sitting out for more than a couple of hours (or less on very hot days), it’s best to skip it.

And of course, save the alcohol for next Christmas.

Have a happy Christmas 🎄

Love, Dr Sapna & Madi X

From the House: Nourish, Heal, Move: supporting PMS naturally

PMS has a way of asking us to slow down, whether we want to or not. There is wisdom in listening.

At Wahini House, we often begin with the basics:

Rest well.�Sleep is where your body recalibrates. Deep rest can ease both physical discomfort and emotional strain.

Move gently.�A daily walk, quiet stretching or soft yoga encourages circulation, releases tension and supports your mood.

Vitamin B6, (in safe amounts)�There is clinical evidence suggesting B6 may help reduce low mood and irritability in the premenstrual phase.

Nourish simply.�Whole foods, consistent meals and good hydration support hormonal rhythm more than we realise.

If you have concerns you may be experiencing more than PMS, speak with your medical provider for personalised care.

General information only, not a substitute for medical advice.

Introducing From the House: Nourish, Heal, Move, a new series where our team shares honest, sustainable ways to care for your body. Madi (.dietitian), our in-house Dietitian, starts us off with something simple: breakfast.

I got asked to share a hormone-friendly breakfast…
�and honestly? It’s really just about having one.

Most of my clients are busy — juggling work, kids, life — and skipping breakfast often just means running on adrenaline and caffeine until lunch.

So my advice?�👉🏼 Break your fast at a time that feels right for you.�👉🏼 Start simple.
Something like this — scrambled eggs (2–3), sourdough, a sprinkle of dill and smoked paprika.
�You’ll get:�🥚 Protein from the eggs to support steady energy and appetite control�🥚 Healthy fats + choline from the yolk (for hormone + brain health)�🍞 Fibre + carbs from the sourdough�🌿 Antioxidants from the herbs and spices

This is your reminder that a hormone-friendly breakfast doesn’t need to be fancy or complicated — just balanced with Protein + fats + carbs.

Swaddling can help your baby feel calm, cozy, and secure - just like in the womb. It can also support better sleep and reduce startle reflexes.

Watch as Kate, shows you how to wrap your little one safely and snugly.

Remember to always keep hips loose, and stop swaddling once your baby starts trying to roll (usually around 2 months). 🫶

If your pre-period days feel heavier than they should, it might be something more than PMS.

While most women experience some level of premenstrual change, around 5–8% live with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a more intense and often misunderstood form that can affect mood, energy, and how you move through daily life.

PMDD isn’t “just hormones.” It’s a heightened sensitivity to the natural shifts that happen in your cycle and recognising that difference can be the first step toward understanding what your body is asking for.

If your symptoms feel overwhelming or begin to interfere with your everyday life, it’s important to speak with your GP or a trusted women’s health professional.

At Wahini, we believe that understanding your cycle isn’t just about hormones, it’s about learning your body’s language, and meeting yourself there with care. 🫶
