This study will take advantage of the open source framework of ResearchKit developed by Apple to bring research directly to participants. Using the ResearchKit platform as well as a stand alone app available for Android and HTML, it makes it easier to enroll large numbers of participants and carry out real-world health research to answer questions important to a broad population.
* Eligibility determined, Individuals enrolled and consented to join study * Short Intake Survey (demographic and baseline health information collected) * Health History Survey (two days after participant enrolls in the study) * Survey questions about current health and medical history will be sent to participants weekly. If participants had a prenatal visit during the week, a few additional questions will be asked. * Twins / Multiples survey will begin appearing when a participant indicates they are having more than one baby * Participants can submit home measurements of, weight and blood pressure as frequently as they want through HealthKit. * Pregnancy outcome variables.
