The goal of this clinical trial is to test an animated video delivered by text message in patients whose pregnancies are complicated with fetal anomalies. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the video intervention prepare parents to talk to the doctors during prenatal appointments? Participants will be randomized to receive either the video intervention or links to the clinic's webpages. They will complete an enrollment survey before their appointment and a follow up survey after their appointment. The researchers will compare the video and webpage groups to see which group reports engaging in more of the identified best-practices of communication.
