Community Translation of the Expecting Study

This study is looking at how well a program called "Expecting" can be adapted and delivered in community settings to help pregnant women with obesity be more physically active. The program involves participating in physical activity three times a week. Researchers want to see if this adapted program is practical and acceptable to participants. You may be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30, are pregnant with one baby (singleton pregnancy) between 11-15 weeks, and don't currently get 150 minutes of activity per week. You also need to be cleared by your doctor for exercise. The study aims to enroll 60 participants.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 60 pregnant women. Half will receive the community-adapted Expecting intervention, and the other half will receive standard care.
What's involved
If you participate, you would engage in physical activity three times per week in your community setting.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study measures feasibility and acceptability of the intervention at 38 weeks of pregnancy.
