** Babyscripts Acquires iBirth, Expanding National Reach While Consolidating Market
------------------------------------------------------------

Babyscripts, a technology platform that is improving both prenatal and pregnancy care, (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=1ccc9d3729&e=ec25e68ef1) announced yesterday they have acquired iBirth, one of the first provider-delivered, co-branded pregnancy apps in the marketplace. For more than eight years, iBirth has engaged mothers with trackers, timers, and content. By joining forces, Babyscripts expands its reach as one of the largest clinically-validated, provider-prescribed obstetrics technologies and now manages more than 150,000 pregnancies across 20 states.
