Summary

This study tests a program called 'Sit Less, Move More' for pregnant women. It uses health coaching, text messages, and a Fitbit to help women increase physical activity and reduce sitting time. The goal is to see if this approach improves health for mothers and babies. Sixty women in early pregnancy will take part.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could show a simple way to help pregnant women be more active, potentially reducing risks like high blood pressure and preterm birth.
What could go wrong: This is a small early study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention relies on motivation and may not work for all women.
