Summary

This trial will help assess whether a community-based exercise and dietary intervention can help reduce the risks of obesity and type 2 diabetes in pregnant women and their children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant women living in urban areas, less than 20 weeks into their pregnancy, who are interested in participating. It's not for those with multiple pregnancies, pre-existing diabetes (except past gestational diabetes), or medical reasons that make exercise unsafe during pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The study tests a community-based program focusing on exercise and diet education to see if it can reduce the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in mothers and their children after birth.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive interventions like exercise and dietary education, side effects may be minimal but could include typical risks associated with physical activity such as muscle strain or fatigue.
