Connura publishes health information for people navigating pregnancy. Below is what that content is, and what it will not do.
What we publish
Plain-language education about blood pressure in pregnancy and the weeks after delivery: how to measure at home, what the terminology means, how blood pressure typically behaves across pregnancy, and how to bring your readings into a conversation with your care team.
Our health content is grounded in published clinical guidance — primarily the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) — and we name the guidance a clinical claim comes from.
What we will not do
This is the most important section on this page.
We do not tell you what your reading means for you. Connura does not interpret an individual blood pressure result, sort your readings into categories, or tell you what action to take based on a number you recorded.
That is not a limitation we regret. It is a deliberate boundary. Interpreting a specific reading requires knowing your history, your gestational age, your risk factors, and your care plan — the things your care team knows and a web page cannot.
Specifically, Connura does not:
Diagnose or rule out any condition
Provide personalized blood pressure targets or thresholds
Advise whether a particular reading is dangerous
Substitute for your clinician's guidance
What we do instead is help you take accurate readings, keep an organized record, understand the general terminology, and arrive at your appointments with information your care team can use.
The one exception
There is a single piece of guidance we state plainly, because every major clinical body does and because it is not specific to any individual: a reading at or above 160/110, or any warning symptom — a persistent headache, vision changes, pain under the ribs, sudden swelling, or shortness of breath — warrants calling your care team right away.
That is a universal safety instruction, not an interpretation of your situation.
Authorship
Connura's health content is written and maintained by the Connura team, and attributed to Connura rather than to an individual. It is produced with purpose-built research and writing systems — structured source retrieval from published clinical guidance, staged drafting and review, and checks that tie claims back to the guidance they came from. These are engineered pipelines with verification steps, not prompts typed into a chatbot. Accountability for what we publish rests with Connura, not with a tool.
We do not describe our content as clinician-reviewed. If that changes, we will say so, and we will name the reviewer and their credentials — an unverifiable claim of review is worth less than none.
What we're aiming for
Sound, not perfect.
None of what we have described above makes us infallible, and we are not going to claim it does. Anything published at volume will eventually get something wrong — guidance is revised, a sentence lands as more certain than the evidence behind it, an explanation that is right in general is confusing in your particular case. What we can promise is that our content is grounded in named clinical guidance, that our limits are stated rather than hidden, and that when we are wrong you can see where, because the guidance we relied on is named next to the claim.
Corrections
If you spot something you believe is inaccurate, or we have missed something, tell us at info@connura.com. We read every one of those, we correct what we genuinely got wrong, and we note what changed and when. Clinical guidance is revised over time, so we re-check what we have published rather than assuming an older article is still current.
We would rather hear it from you than leave it standing.
How this is funded
Connura's content is published by Connura, the maker of the Connura app. We carry no advertising, sponsored content, or affiliate links. We publish this education because it is the same education that makes our product worth using.
This is education, not medical advice
Nothing Connura publishes is medical advice, and none of it establishes a clinician–patient relationship. Talk to your care team about your own health any time you have a question or concern. If you think you are experiencing an emergency, seek emergency care.
