My Baby My Move A Community Wellness Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating My Baby My Move + and Control for Gestational Weight Gain. Completed, enrolled 68 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
My Baby, My Move+ (2019-2021) is a peer-led wellness intervention which aims to reduce excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) by targeting prenatal physical activity, mood, and sleep quality. Up to 50% of pregnant women in the U.S. gain weight in excess of the Institute of Medicine guidelines. EGWG leads to poor maternal and child outcomes. It also sets the stage for long-term overweight/obesity for both mother and child. The MBMM+ intervention is an example of a theoretically-based prenatal physical activity intervention that targets these outcomes. Up to 100 pregnant women (50 intervention arm, 50 control arm) will be recruited from the University of Colorado Clinics. Women in the intervention arm will participate in the 12-week MBMM+ intervention. Leiferman and her team propose to develop and test the feasibility and sustainability of the MBMM+ intervention to instill good healthy habits (e.g., prenatal physical activity, good sleep hygiene, stress management) during and beyond pregnancy. Findings from this study will be used to inform a future, large randomized trial.
