This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a digital health program called Mama Let's Move to help pregnant Black teenagers stay active and healthy during pregnancy. The program uses a fitness tracker, text messages with personalized advice, and support from peer coaches who are young mothers themselves. Researchers want to see if this approach helps pregnant teens move more, sit less, and manage their weight gain in healthy ways.
Pregnancy complications and health problems related to weight gain are more common in Black teenagers. This trial exists to create and test a support program that meets the specific needs of pregnant Black teens in rural areas, using digital tools and peer support to make healthy habits easier to build and maintain.

You would join the program for 20 weeks starting before 20 weeks of pregnancy and continuing through the end of pregnancy. You would wear a Fitbit activity tracker, receive personalized text messages with tips and feedback about your activity level, and meet regularly with a peer health coach (a young mom like you) through video calls to talk about your health, needs, and progress toward three simple goals: limiting TV to 2 hours a day, getting 10,000 steps daily, and doing 20 minutes of gentle exercise like prenatal yoga. Researchers would check your progress at 26 weeks and 36 weeks of pregnancy.
