Weekly wisdom
Nourish yourself well
Eat the rainbow
Fill your plate with pap and veg, beans, spinach, mielies and seasonal fruit for steady energy and iron. Remember to consult your midwife or doctor in connection with healthy supplementation.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of clean water, especially in the heat, to support you and your growing baby.
Keep your clinic visits
Attend every antenatal check-up and keep your Road-to-Health booklet updated at your local clinic.
You are never alone
Lean on your partner, family and community — ubuntu means we carry each other. Reach out to your clinic sister or a trusted elder whenever you have questions or worries.
