Summary

This study tests whether a text-messaging program called SmartMom can help pregnant people learn more, feel better, and adopt healthier habits. About 3,000 participants in Canada will either receive weekly texts with evidence-based health tips or general interest messages. Researchers will track weight gain, prenatal visit attendance, and mental health to see if the program makes a real difference.
