When someone you love gets pregnant, the first thing they do is search online. What they find is messy: clickbait headlines, wellness blogs that contradict each other, and reference sites so dense and clinical they read like a textbook.
iPrego was built to sit in the middle. Calm, evidence-based, and written for a non-clinical reader — but grounded in real bedside experience and current clinical guidance from sources like ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists), the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Mayo Clinic.
Every guide on iPrego is reviewed for medical accuracy by a Registered Nurse before it goes live. We cover the full journey: trying to conceive, fertility, pregnancy week-by-week, labor and delivery, postpartum recovery, newborn care, and pregnancy nutrition.
Meet our medical lead
Maureen Kelly, RN — Medical Reviewer and Editorial Lead
Maureen is a Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of clinical experience spanning labor and delivery, postpartum, NICU, pediatrics, women’s health, and med-surg nursing. Across her career she has cared for thousands of expectant parents, postpartum patients, and newborns — from routine deliveries to high-acuity cases in the neonatal intensive care unit.
That breadth is rare. Most women’s-health writers focus on a single phase of the journey; Maureen has practiced clinically across every phase iPrego covers, from preconception through the first year of life.
At iPrego, Maureen reviews articles for:
- Clinical accuracy and alignment with current ACOG, CDC, AAP, and Mayo Clinic guidance
- Clear “when to call your provider” cues and warning signs
- Approachable language for non-clinical readers, without losing accuracy
- Appropriate framing of safety claims (what’s a true risk vs. an outdated myth)
Articles she has reviewed carry a “Medically reviewed by Maureen Kelly, RN” byline with the review date. We do not backdate review timestamps — the date on the byline is the date she actually reviewed.
Maureen’s role is clinical accuracy. iPrego content is educational and is not a substitute for personal medical care from your own provider.
How we make our content
iPrego articles follow a four-step process:
- Topic selection — driven by what readers actually search for, not by ad-network keyword chasing or affiliate commissions.
- Research and drafting — every clinical claim is sourced from one or more of: ACOG, the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Mayo Clinic, the National Institutes of Health, or peer-reviewed clinical literature.
- Medical review — hub pages, the pregnancy week-by-week series, and any article making a safety claim are reviewed by Maureen Kelly, RN.
- Publication and updates — articles are revisited at least once a year and updated when guidelines change. The “Updated” date on each article reflects the most recent review.
For the full process — including how we handle corrections, AI assistance disclosure, and advertising disclosure — see our Editorial Policy.
What you won’t find here
iPrego is intentionally not:
- A replacement for your own healthcare provider
- A diagnostic tool
- A platform for sponsored content disguised as advice — any partnership or affiliate relationship is disclosed in plain text on the relevant article
- A community forum or message board (we may add this in the future, with appropriate moderation)
Our independence
