The objetive of this work was to adapt Cross-Culturally text messages aimed at pregnant women and their companions to give tools to the academy in educational processes. Cultural adaptation was performed in 4 phases: the first phase was the review of texts translated into Spanish by researchers; then peer review; the third phase was the execution of focus groups with pregnant women and their companions and finally the development of new messages according to guidelines and standards of health care. A total of 170 messages were reviewed in the first phase; the experts reviewed 107 aimed at pregnant women, 37 to companions and 18 related with newborn care. Adjustments were made upon these messages. The result of the focus groups consolidated the process of comprehension of the messages. The article proposes a methodology for cultural adaptation that allows the academy to get messages that pregnant women need to strengthen their self-care.
