User-generated content

The opinions expressed in Tommy’s user-generated content areas, such as blog posts and first-person baby loss stories, are solely those of the user, who is unlikely to have had medical training. These opinions do not represent the opinions of Tommy’s and are not advice from Tommy's.

Some of these opinions may contain information about treatments or use of drug products, but these must not be taken as clinical advice or recommendations. We advise readers to only take drugs or participate in treatments that are prescribed by your qualified healthcare provider.

Tommy’s does not endorse any specific product, service or treatment.

Do not consider Tommy’s user-generated content as medical advice. Never delay or disregard seeking professional medical advice from your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider because of something you have read on Tommy’s blog or baby loss story pages. You should always speak with your doctor before you start, stop, or change any prescribed part of your care plan or treatment.

Tommy’s understands that reading individual, real-life experiences can be a helpful resource, but it is never a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified health care provider. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor, midwife or hospital immediately.
