Expectant mothers who find themselves needing a little coaching to carry their pregnancy can now find that help in the form of timely text messages sent to their cell phones. The free service is from Voixiva a Washington based health non profit group who specialise in using technologies to solve complex medical issues.
The way the service works is very straightforward according to the New York Times: you send in a text message to the service with the word "baby" or "bebe" in Spanish to 511-411 then wait for the service to prompt you for for zip code and due date. From there and until a year after your due date, you will be getting reminders for things like taking your vitamins, going see your OBYG for a regular check up, etc.
