Women on certain medications or with serious health issues like heart disease or diabetes can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests if delivering meals to expectant mothers with overweight or obesity helps manage weight during pregnancy. It checks how well participants accept this service and its initial effectiveness in controlling gestational weight gain.
