Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: June 18, 2026

The content provided by Catalyst Mom — including our website, blog, guides, workout and birth ball programs, meal plans, community, and any related materials — is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always consult your healthcare provider

Pregnancy, trying to conceive, and postpartum recovery are deeply individual. Before beginning any exercise program, changing your nutrition, or acting on anything you read here, talk with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your personal history — such as your OB-GYN, midwife, pelvic floor physical therapist, or registered dietitian. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on Catalyst Mom.

If something doesn't feel right, stop

Stop any activity and contact your provider if you experience pain, vaginal bleeding, fluid leakage, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, regular painful contractions, calf pain or swelling, reduced fetal movement, or any symptom that concerns you.

In an emergency, call for help

If you think you are having a medical emergency, call your local emergency number (such as 911 in the United States) or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not rely on this website for urgent care.

No doctor–patient relationship

Using Catalyst Mom, contacting us, or participating in our community does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, or any other professional healthcare relationship. Our experts and contributors share general guidance, not individualized medical care.

Accuracy and individual results

We work to keep our content evidence-informed and current, but we make no guarantee that it is complete, accurate, or applicable to your situation. Individual results vary, and any testimonials reflect individual experiences rather than promised outcomes.
