We write our guides to be clear, practical and useful. This page explains how to get the most from them, and where your own doctor or midwife should take over.
How to use our content well
Our articles are written to educate and to help you feel informed. They give general guidance that applies to most people, so they cannot take your personal health history into account.
That is why we encourage you to talk to a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or other health professional about your own situation, especially if you are pregnant, have a health condition, or take medicine. Our content works best as a starting point for that conversation, not a replacement for it.
If you think you or someone else has a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital right away. Please do not wait to find an answer online.
Our tools, including the Pregnancy Calculator, use standard medical methods and general averages to give you a helpful estimate from the dates you enter.
We take care to write accurate, easy to understand articles and to update them as guidance changes. Medical knowledge keeps moving, so if your doctor gives you advice that differs from an article, follow your doctor.
If you spot something that looks wrong or out of date, please tell us. We read every message and fix mistakes quickly.
Some of our health articles are reviewed by a medical professional before or after publishing. Where an article has been reviewed, it says so on the page.
