Summary
This study tests whether adding lifestyle counseling to routine antenatal care can help prevent non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart disease. About 1,268 pregnant women in four Ethiopian cities will receive either standard care or extra counseling on diet, exercise, and avoiding air pollution. The goal is to improve birth weight and long-term health for mothers and children.
