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 two different approaches to help pregnant women achieve and maintain a healthy weight by offering nutrition counseling and physical activity support. The trial will compare whether direct support (like grocery vouchers and transportation help) or referrals to community resources work better than standard pregnancy care alone. Researchers want to find the best way to help Black, Latino, and low-income pregnant women stay healthy during and after pregnancy.
Pregnant women from certain communities face barriers to healthy eating and exercise because of costs, transportation, and limited access to services. This trial exists to find out which type of support works best to help these mothers maintain a healthy weight and reduce health risks after birth.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a group that receives direct support like grocery vouchers and help with transportation, a group that gets referrals to community programs and health coaching, or a standard care group. From early pregnancy through 12 months after birth, you'll have five study visits where you'll answer questions about your diet and health, have your weight and measurements taken, and provide a blood sample (usually a finger stick). The entire process takes about 12–15 months from when you join until the final visit.
