Overview
Brief Summary
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of a dietary intervention in pregnant women. Women who are obese will be invited to participate. The control arm will receive routine prenatal care and one in-person nutritional and dietary counseling session to promote healthy eating during their pregnancy. The intervention arm will receive a more intensive dietary program that will include in-person counseling and group support sessions. The goal of the intervention will be weight maintenance (weight at 2 weeks after delivery should be within 3% of baseline weight) and avoidance of postpartum weight retention

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Maternal Weight Change
Time Frame: baseline to 2 weeks post partum
We chose the weight at 2 weeks postpartum, rather than at an end point during pregnancy, to avoid the contribution of products of conception, maternal edema, and increased maternal blood volume to the weight gain.
Secondary Outcomes
- Large for Gestational Age (LGA)(At birth)
- Pregnancy Weight Change(baseline to 34 weeks gestation)
