Text4baby TV PSAs

Text4baby is pleased to announce the release of two TV Public Service Announcements (PSAs), made possible by the support of the CTIA Wireless Foundation. The TV PSAs, produced in 30-second lengths, emphasize the helpful information pregnant and new moms receive to support them through pregnancy and baby’s first year.

“Belly-to-Belly” shows just the pregnant bellies of two friends talking about Text4baby. One pregnant mom is a Text4baby subscriber and shows her friend how to sign up.

“Baby Photos” shows real photos of Text4baby babies along with the song, “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” The mothers of the babies in the PSA are Text4baby subscribers and received three Text4baby messages each week during pregnancy and/or through their baby’s first year.
New PSA featuring Text4baby Celebrity Ambassador and R&B Superstar Brandy is now available. To request a digital copy and a broadcast-quality version of the PSA, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Using the PSAs in Your Community

To download the PSAs, please click here to be taken to TV Access Reports. Once on the page click Preview Spots and you'll be able to download both PSAs in English and Spanish.

Use these PSAs as part of your enrollment efforts by encouraging your local TV stations to air the PSAs, customizing them with your logo and/or planning a PSA launch event. Because of the excellent work you do in your communities, you are in the best position to influence TV stations’ airing of the PSAs. Please keep in mind these PSAs are “evergreen,” which means they are not dated and thus can be promoted at any time.

Text4baby Tips

Even if U feel great, a pregnant woman needs checkups with a Dr./midwife (CNM/CM). For help with costs, call 800-311-2229.
Don't start a new medicine or stop your current medicine unless your Dr. tells U to. Info on over-the-counter & prescription medicine: 866-626-6847.
Some women may spot or bleed in early pregnancy. If you have any bleeding, it's always best to call your doctor or midwife (CNM/CM).
Running to the bathroom a lot? It’s normal. But if your urine smells bad, has blood, or if it hurts when you go, you could have a UTI. Call the Dr.
Women who smoke have a higher risk of losing their baby or having a child with breathing & learning problems. Call 800-784-8669 for info on quitting.
Your baby is growing a lot! Baby is now the size of a lime & can open its mouth & move its tiny hands.
A pregnant woman only needs about 300 extra calories each day. A 300 calorie snack is 1 cup of low-fat milk with 1 banana & 1 egg.
Here’s another reason for you to get the flu shot. It helps protect your baby from flu after birth for 6 months. Questions? Call CDC at 800-232-4636.
Get a crib to keep your baby safe while he sleeps. The safest way for baby to sleep is on his back in a crib near your bed (within arm's reach).
If you have any bleeding during the 2nd or 3rd trimester, call your doctor or midwife (CNM/CM) right away.
If you have any signs of preterm labor--cramps, belly tightening, low back pain, bleeding, or watery, pink/brown discharge--call your Dr. right away.
If you eat deli meat & hot dogs, cook them until they’re steaming hot. Heating can kill germs that could harm you or your baby.
Can’t sleep? Lie on your side. Put pillows between your knees, under your belly and behind your back. This should give you extra support.
A seat belt protects you & your baby. Shoulder belt goes between your breasts & lap strap goes under your belly (not on or above). Wear it every time.
Counting down the days until your due date? These last weeks are worth the wait -- your baby’s brain and organs are still developing.
It's time for baby's 1-month Dr.'s visit. Your baby had blood tests right after she was born. At this visit, ask your Dr. for the results.
When you have contractions, your belly tightens & feels like a menstrual cramp that gets stronger & stronger. Think you're in labor? Call your doctor!
Are you breastfeeding, Mom? Great job! Breast milk is the best food for your baby. Questions? Call the National Breastfeeding Helpline at 800-994-9662.
Not sure if your car seat is installed right? Get it inspected. Department of Transportation can help. Call 888-327-4236 for locations near you.
If you’re anxious, depressed or feeling hopeless & don’t know where to turn, call Postpartum Support Int’l at 800-944-4773 for help & support.
Holding, talking, reading & singing to your baby help her learn. Soon your baby will coo, babble, hum & laugh back!
