1. I'm Not a Doctor (and I Don't Pretend to Be)

My name is Maya Hart. I'm a mom of two, a certified prenatal and postpartum nutrition enthusiast, and the founder of this site. I've completed a prenatal nutrition certification and I work closely with a consulting Registered Dietitian who reviews every recipe. But I am not a licensed medical professional. I'm not a doctor, nurse, midwife, or registered dietitian. The information I share comes from a combination of personal lived experience, research, and collaboration with qualified experts — but it should never replace the personalized guidance of your own healthcare team.

2. Every Pregnancy Is Different

What worked for me may not work for you. Nutritional needs during pregnancy vary dramatically based on your health history, any existing conditions, the trimester you're in, your medications, and a hundred other factors that only your healthcare provider knows about. Even recipes labeled "GD‑safe" or "pregnancy‑friendly" should be reviewed by your own medical team, especially if you're managing gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, thyroid issues, food allergies, or any other condition.

3. The RD Review Is a Consultation, Not a Guarantee

Every recipe on HomeBumpMeals.com is reviewed by a consulting Registered Dietitian for general nutritional balance and appropriateness for pregnancy and postpartum stages. However, this review does not constitute individual medical advice or a guarantee that a particular recipe is safe for your specific situation. The RD is not your personal dietitian, and their review is based on general population guidelines — not your unique health profile.

4. No Warranties or Liabilities

I make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information on this site, but I cannot guarantee that it is complete, up‑to‑date, or error‑free. By using HomeBumpMeals.com, you acknowledge that any reliance on the content is at your own risk. I will not be held liable for any adverse effects, losses, or damages resulting from the use of any recipe, ingredient suggestion, nutritional claim, or other information found on this site.

5. If You Need Urgent Help

If you think you're experiencing a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately. Don't rely on a website — even this one. Trust your body and the professionals who know you best.

6. Supplements and Herbs

From time to time, I may mention herbs, spices, or supplements that can support pregnancy wellness (like ginger for nausea or red raspberry leaf tea). These are based on traditional use and available research, but they are not prescriptions. Many herbs and supplements interact with medications or can be contraindicated in certain conditions. Always clear any new supplement with your healthcare provider before trying it.

7. Questions? Talk to Your Provider.

The best person to guide your nutrition during pregnancy and postpartum is the healthcare professional who knows your full medical history. Use the recipes and resources here as a starting point for conversations — not as a final answer.
