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 whether health coaching—delivered through phone calls, an online app, and weekly weight tracking—can help pregnant women who are overweight or have obesity manage their weight gain during pregnancy and keep the weight off after the baby is born. You would work with a trained health coach to set goals around diet and exercise, use an easy-to-understand learning app, and track your progress over 8 to 11 months.
Many pregnant women gain more weight than recommended, and keeping extra weight after delivery can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. This study aims to find out whether personalized coaching and support can help women stay healthier during and after pregnancy.

If you join this study, you will receive either the new health coaching program (in addition to your regular prenatal care) or standard home visiting services. The coaching group will receive phone or video calls with a health coach starting now through 6 months after your baby is born, use an online app with learning activities and goal-setting tools, track your diet and exercise weekly, and weigh yourself at home weekly. All materials are designed to be easy to read and are available in Spanish. The study lasts 8 to 11 months depending on when you enroll.
