Our review standards

BabyBump is a lifestyle publication, not a medical one. This page explains how we handle anything that touches health, and our approach to expert review.

We don’t give medical advice

We share general information and real experience. We never diagnose, prescribe, or tell you what’s safe for your pregnancy or your baby. For anything clinical, we point you to the people qualified to help: your midwife, your GP, or the NHS.

How health-adjacent content is handled

• Any claim that touches health is sourced to a primary authority (NHS, Tommy’s, NICE, RCOG, peer-reviewed research) and linked on the page.
• Health-adjacent pages carry a clear “information, not medical advice” note with a prompt to speak to your midwife or GP.

Expert review

When an article has been reviewed by a qualified professional, their name, credentials and the review date are shown on that article — and only then.

TODO(nick): We have not yet engaged named clinical reviewers. Until we do, no page claims to be “medically reviewed” and no reviewer names appear anywhere on the site. When real reviewers join, list them here with their credentials and registration details.
