Medical Disclaimer

1. No Doctor–Patient Relationship

Using BumpBites does not create a doctor–patient relationship between you and BumpBites Health or any of our contributors, reviewers, or staff. The information we publish is general and not personalized to your specific circumstances.

2. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

Our food safety database, nutritional information, symptom guides, week-by-week tracker, calculators, and AI-assisted answers (including the Food Checker, Symptom Helper, and Astro features) are educational resources only. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your obstetrician, midwife, registered dietitian, or another qualified healthcare provider with any questions you have regarding a medical or pregnancy-related condition.

3. Individual Variation

Every pregnancy is unique. What is safe or appropriate for one person may not be safe or appropriate for another. Factors such as allergies, pre-existing conditions, medications, gestational age, and your geographic region can change recommendations. Always discuss your specific situation with your healthcare provider before acting on any information from BumpBites.

4. Sources & Accuracy

We strive to source information from reputable references — including the WHO, NHS, CDC, ACOG, the FDA, and peer-reviewed nutritional and obstetric literature — and to keep content current. However, medical guidance evolves and we cannot guarantee that every page reflects the very latest recommendation. Our process is described in our Methodology and Editorial Policy.

5. AI-Generated Content

Some tools and content on the Service are generated or enhanced by artificial-intelligence systems. AI outputs may contain errors and should not be relied upon for medical decisions. Always verify with a qualified professional.

6. Third-Party Content

The Service may contain content created by third parties (community posts, videos, comments, product reviews). Those opinions are not endorsements by BumpBites and may not reflect medical consensus.

7. Limitation of Liability

BumpBites, its affiliates, contributors, and reviewers are not liable for any harm, loss, or injury resulting from your reliance on information provided through the Service. Use of the Service is at your own risk and subject to our Terms of Use.

8. When to Seek Help Immediately

• Severe abdominal pain or cramping
