Why this page exists

Pregnancy nutrition is “Your Money, Your Life” territory — what you read here can affect real health outcomes. Most AI-written health content cuts corners. Mombite doesn’t. This page documents exactly how every recipe, safety rule, and nutrition fact gets onto our site.

1. Sources we use

Every medical claim in our articles is cross-checked against at least one of these:

• ACOG — American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (current pregnancy guidelines)
• NHS — UK National Health Service (pregnancy nutrition pages + NICE guidance)
• Mayo Clinic — patient-facing medical guides
• USDA FoodData Central — every recipe’s calorie, protein, iron, folate, choline value comes from here, not estimated
• PubMed — peer-reviewed research for newer or contested claims
• FDA — for food safety advisories (mercury, listeria, additives)

2. We cite primary sources directly

Most pregnancy nutrition content online paraphrases ACOG or NHS guidance through layers of writers and editors. Mombite skips the middle. We cite the primary source directly — every medical claim in our articles links to the original ACOG, NHS, NICE, Mayo Clinic, USDA, or PubMed page.

We don’t employ in-house doctors, and we’re honest about that. We believe a direct link to the actual ACOG guideline page is more reliable than a paraphrased summary attributed to a hired expert. You can verify everything we publish in two clicks.

3. AI use — what AI does and doesn’t do

We use AI assistants (Claude, GPT) for drafting, editing, and structuring content. We do not use AI to generate medical claims, dosage numbers, or safety thresholds. Every number you see (450 mg choline, 165°F deli meat, 200 mg caffeine) is traced back to a primary source — listed at the bottom of the article.

4. The Emily voice — pen name, real experience

Mombite articles are written by Emily — a first-time mom-to-be sharing her own pregnancy nutrition journey. “Emily” and “Jack” (her partner) are pen names used to protect our family’s privacy. The pregnancy, the questions, and the lived experience are real.

Emily is not a medical professional. She shares her own experience and the primary-source research she relies on. Behind Emily, the Mombite Editorial Team cross-references every nutrition claim, safety threshold, and recipe against the primary sources listed in section 1.

Some posts are first-person experience entries (the “Emily Journal” category) — they describe what it actually feels like to be pregnant, not what to do. These are clearly labeled as personal experience, never medical advice, and always include a disclaimer pointing readers back to their own healthcare provider.

5. Updates and corrections

Pregnancy guidance evolves. When a major source (ACOG, NHS) publishes updated guidance, we revise affected articles within 14 days. Each article carries a “last reviewed” date. If you spot an error, email hello@mombite.ai — we’ll fix and credit you.

6. Disclaimer

Mombite is a pregnancy nutrition guide, not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your OB-GYN, midwife, or registered dietitian for personal medical decisions. We are not liable for decisions made based on our content.
