Entry NM-004The Nine Months
Morning sickness and the claims
What reflexology can and cannot do for pregnancy nausea, against what actually has evidence.
The Maternity Register
The Maternity Register keeps notes on reflexology in pregnancy, written for London: what the practice involves, what the evidence does and does not say, what a session costs, and how to read a practitioner's qualifications before booking.

What the register holds
Read before believing : the register keeps the three columns separate.
| Established | Uncertain | Not claimed |
|---|---|---|
| Many pregnant women report deep relaxation during and after a session. | Whether reflexology changes measurable outcomes beyond rest and attention. | That reflexology treats, cures or prevents any pregnancy condition. |
| UK registers (AoR, CNHC, FHT) list practitioners trained for maternity work. | How much maternity-specific training each register requires. | That a listing is a guarantee of clinical competence. |
| A session is gentle pressure to feet and hands, fully clothed, about an hour. | Whether one technique outperforms another for any symptom. | That a session replaces an antenatal appointment, ever. |

Trimester by trimester: what mothers-to-be ask, and what a session can and cannot do.
From neighbouring registers
Notes kept by other independent desks, each one read before it was shelved here.
A neighbouring desk grades needles the way this register grades feet: the same question asked of acupuncture, condition by condition, with the evidence read before the promise.
Across the Atlantic the same questions get asked in different weather: a pregnancy desk in North Texas keeps the record of what practical help reaches mothers before and after the birth.
Directories need reading, not skimming, and a Dutch notebook on physiotherapy shows how it is done for a profession where the title is protected by law.
The scan is the most examined hour of the nine months, and a separate desk explains what an ultrasound actually shows, examination by examination, in plain British English.
Registers like this one have cousins abroad: a health notebook kept on an island tracks prevention and daily care in Corsica with the same dated, shelved discipline.
