Summary
This study tests whether providing fresh meals, health coaching, and education to high-risk pregnant women can reduce the chance of developing gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or preeclampsia. 69 women in Milwaukee are randomly assigned to either receive the program or standard care. Researchers will compare outcomes like weight gain, blood pressure, and birth timing between the two groups.
