Summary
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.

healthy lifestyle education
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple nutrition and lifestyle guidance before and during early pregnancy helps prevent serious conditions like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The education may not be enough to change outcomes significantly.
