Medical and Educational Disclaimer

This is education, not medical care

The material here is general childbirth education. It is not tailored to you, your pregnancy, or your circumstances, and it cannot take account of anything your care team knows about you.

Using this site does not create a nurse–patient or clinician–patient relationship.

Always work with your own care team

Your midwife, physician, or other healthcare professional is responsible for your care. If anything here differs from their guidance, follow their guidance and ask them about the difference.

Urgent concerns

If you are worried about your health or your baby's health, contact your healthcare professional or your local emergency service straight away. Do not wait, and do not use this site or a message to us as a way of raising an urgent concern.

No individual advice

We do not assess, diagnose, treat, or advise on individual medical situations, medications, or test results — in any format, including private educational sessions.

Please do not send health information

We do not collect health information. Please keep due dates, conditions, history, medications, provider details, test results, and symptoms out of any message to us.
