MyBump Portal
The MyBump Portal is now live. We want to learn more about medication safety during pregnancy, and we need you!
At bumps, our aim is to help women make well-informed decisions about the use of medicines in pregnancy that are best for both mother and baby.
To do this, we need to collect information from both women who use medicines during pregnancy, and those who do not. By signing up to the MyBump Portal you will help us learn more about how medicines affect the health of pregnant women and their babies, both during pregnancy and later on in life.
Why?
Information on the use of medicines in human pregnancy is generally lacking, especially for new or infrequently used products.
The information you will enter into the MyBump Portal will be used by UKTIS to help better understand how medicines, a woman’s lifestyle or her health may affect the baby’s development.
Who?
The MyBump Portal offers all pregnant women (not just those taking medicines or whose pregnancies did not result in a healthy baby), the option to create their own password protected record of their pregnancy. Although some of the questions we ask are specifically for people living in the UK, everyone is invited to complete a pregnancy record via the portal, no matter where you live.
When?
The earlier in pregnancy that you start entering information into your record the better.
Your MyBump Portal record is designed to enable you to enter or update your details throughout your pregnancy. This is important as it is much more accurate to record things as they happen rather than to rely on memory. Any information you enter will be saved and will still be there for you to see when you next log in.
How?
Before signinig up to provide information via the MyBump Portal, you should read more about why we are collecting the information, how the portal works, and how we will use the information you provide. Please see our MyBump portal information page for more details.
