Summary

This trial will test whether grocery delivery can help low-income pregnant women gain less weight and eat healthier.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for low-income, pregnant young women who are less than 20 weeks along, have a healthy single pregnancy, can text message, haven't had children before (nulliparous), drink sugary beverages and live where grocery delivery services operate. It's not for those with high-risk pregnancies needing special care like pre-existing diabetes, non-English speakers or if they share an address with another participant.

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether delivering groceries and unsweetened beverages to participants' homes affects their weight gain and diet during pregnancy. The goal is to see if this simple support helps maintain a healthy weight among these young women.

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve grocery delivery and promoting unsweetened beverage consumption instead of sugary drinks, there are no direct medical side effects expected from participating in this trial.
