If picked for this group, you will attend study meetings with a weight management counselor. During the second trimester study meetings occur 4 times per month. During the third trimester you will attend study meetings 2 times per month. These meetings will cover many topics to help you learn about weight management during pregnancy. You will be taught how to use different tools provided to help you monitor your weight. We will ask you to record your body weight (using a scale we will provide) as well as your food intake and exercise habits.
