Control
During the first four weeks of the MBMM+ program, participants will receive electronic informational handouts covering topics on weight management as well as the benefits and safety concerns related to prenatal physical activity. Starting week 5 of the 12-week intervention, participants will attend two in-person, group physical activity sessions per week with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes and will be held at a local community center located close to the recruitment clinics. Sessions will be held on weekday evenings and weekend mornings as these times were preferred by pregnant women. Each session will include both didactic and experiential components to increase knowledge and skill building.
Electronic materials related to various prenatal topics including preparation for birth, birthing options, and responsive parenting will be distributed twice a week for the first 4-weeks of the program. Starting week 5 of the 12-week intervention, participants will attend two in-person, group sessions per week with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes and will be held at a local community center located close to the recruitment clinics.
