I am not a medical professional. I will not make medical decisions for you. I will not perform medical procedures such as fetal monitoring, vaginal exams, monitoring blood pressure, or catching baby. I will not diagnose medical conditions such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes and so on.
I will provide evidence based resources to help you make informed choices.
