If you are 37+ weeks pregnant or recently gave birth and live in Nova Scotia, consider joining our research study! Essential Coaching for Every Mother is a text... message program that sends daily texts about caring for yourself and your baby for the first six weeks postpartum. The messages are based on public health recommendations and have been approved by moms and healthcare providers. If you participate, you will be randomized (like flipping a coin) into one of two groups: (1) the Essential Coaching for Every Mother group or (2) a control group. The Essential Coaching for Every Mother group will receive texts up to 6 weeks postpartum. Texts will be sent two times per day for two weeks, once a day after that. The control group will not receive any messages. Both groups will be asked to complete a survey after you give birth and at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. You will receive $15 for each survey you complete. If you are 37+ weeks pregnant, text PREGNANT to 902-702-6278 for more information and to sign up. If you recently gave birth (<10 days postpartum), text BIRTH to 902-702-6278 for more information and to sign up. This study is funded by an IWK Health Mentored Grant and the IWK Health Ross Fund. Ethics for this project has been obtained by the IWK Health Centre.
