Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to verify if postprandial walks are effective in obese pregnant women, as regards to gestational weight gain and typical diseases of that period, as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Perinatal outcomes will be observed, such as macrosomia, shoulder dystocia and fetal death.

Postprandial walks

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Obese pregnant women will be target to carry out walks lasting 10' after the main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), Monday to Friday, during 8 weeks. Adherence to the program will be determined by daily readings of pedometers previously provided to pregnant women; minimum of 1500 steps per day from Monday to Friday.
