Cape Town – South African TV Personality and Miss South Africa 2011, Melinda Bam, may have revolutionised pregnancy with the invention of the ‘babymoon’ – a holiday that a couple goes on when the woman is pregnant – which she shared on Instagram.
In October, Melinda and her husband Adriaan Bergh announced that they were expecting their first child. She revealed the joyful news to her followers in a recent Instagram post, sharing a heartwarming slide show of pictures of herself and her hubby holding pictures of the ultrasound.
“When the desires of our hearts, God’s will, and God’s timing aligns perfectly – earth shakes, light rushes in and the heavens rejoice! THANK YOU JESUS,” she said.
Melissa who is now on a “babymoon” with her hubby in the Maldives said it was such a “sacred time”.
“All the ingredients I could wish for in a babymoon… Such a sacred time, not because of the destination, but because of how we’re spending our time for our li’l bubs,” she said in an Instagram post.

Melinda said she and her hubby spent time in the Maldives praying for their li’l bubs.
“Our time in the #Maldives is always so special because it is filled with pure tranquil turquoise nothingness,” she said.
“A good place to think, a perfect place to pray, great to gather perspective and come out more grateful than ever before.
“We used our time to pray for our li’l bubs…every day a dedicated topic and assignment to cover our baby in prayer and scripture. It’s been a wonderful time with so many revelations on how we’ll do the new “us”, and to think through the advice we’ve received from our loved ones.
“Yes our bodies have had a good rest, but our minds and spirits have been busy, strengthened and uplifted for this coming season.”

“Having the best time on this island, definitely one of the calmer and relaxing trips we’ve had! Almost time to go home, but for now, i’m relishing being pregnant in paradise!”
