Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gestational weight gain
Time Frame: 16 weeks gestation, 35 weeks gestation
Rate of gestational weight gain will be computed as difference between weights measured at study entry and gestational week 35; this difference will be divided by the number of weeks of observation during pregnancy (i.e., weeks between study entry and final pregnancy assessment). If gestational week 35 is unavailable, most proximal clinic visit weight will be used.
Secondary Outcomes
- Partner's weight loss(study entry, when pregnant partner reaches 35 weeks gestation)
