The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of SmartMom, a
 text messaging-based mobile health program for prenatal education. The main questions are to
 determine if healthy pregnant people receiving SmartMom messages that promote health
 behaviours in pregnancy versus messages that don't provoke behaviour change have improvement
 in:
 
 1. knowledge about healthy pregnancy and birth
 
 2. standardized measures of depression, anxiety, and fear of childbirth
 
 3. adoption of positive health behaviours in pregnancy
 
 4. maternal, fetal, and newborn outcomes
 
 Participants in the intervention group will receive three evidence-based text messages per
 week, plus optional supplemental messages on topics relevant to them, throughout pregnancy.
 
 The control group will receive general interest messages on pregnancy-related topics that are
 not promoting behaviour change.
