Funded Activity Summary

Pregnancy is a critical period for health and wellbeing in childhood and beyond. While maternal obesity, excess pregnancy weight gain and lifestyle behaviours are associated with future overweight for both mothers and babies, there is limited research on how best to intervene. The New Beginnings Healthy Mothers and Babies Study aims to identify factors that influence healthy lifestyle behaviours during pregnancy to help health professionals support women and improve health outcomes for mothers and their babies.
