Filed in archive Baby's First Year on February 23, 2010

There are many websites offering to pregnancy-related articles categorized according to the different stages of pregnancy. You can even opt to receive email messages (monthly, weekly, or even daily!) that compiles articles you might be interested in depending on how far along you are. But for those women who do not have regular access to the internet/email or are perhaps always on the move, there's Text4Baby!

Text4Baby is a free mobile information service designed to promote maternal and child health. An educational program of the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB), text4baby provides pregnant women and new moms with information they need to take care of their health and give their babies the best possible start in life.

If you are pregnant, or has just given birth, you may sign up for the service by texting BABY (or BEBE for Spanish) to 511411 and you will receive free SMS text messages each week, timed to your due date or baby's date of birth. Register here.
