    This is a good summary of the range of pregnancy apps that are available and the benefits they offer. However, anyone who is considering using apps or online services while trying to conceive or during pregnancy should carefully examine what data is collected by the service and how that data is used. There are often serious privacy concerns that should be considered. For more information and examples, please see my recent book, “Cybertraps for Expecting Moms & Dads” (https://amzn.to/2Swd7JB).
