Lifestyle lessons before pregnancy may cut risks, new study hopes to prove

This study will test whether giving women healthy lifestyle education before they get pregnant or in early pregnancy can improve their heart health and lower the chance of problems like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Two hundred women at risk for preeclampsia will be randomly assigned to receive either the education plus usual care or usual care alone. The study will check if the program is practical and whether it leads to better health scores and fewer pregnancy complications.
