Summary

This study tested a phone-based health coaching program for pregnant women with a higher body mass index. The goal was to help them gain a healthy amount of weight during pregnancy and prevent problems like gestational diabetes and later obesity in both mothers and children. Over 500 women from diverse backgrounds took part, using coaching calls and a mobile app to track their health.
