Measure
Physical Activity Intervention
The behavioral physical activity (PA) intervention focuses on walking, or stepping in place when it is not possible to walk (e.g., stormy weather). The primary goal of the PA intervention is to achieve at least 30 minutes per day of walking/stepping in place. The secondary goal is to use a PA tracker (e.g., the Fitbit Charge 3 provided by the intervention) to log and review walking/stepping, and to accumulate at least 3,000 steps during their 30 minutes of walking/stepping each day.
Wellness Education
The Wellness Education intervention will deliver information on mom and baby wellness that is unrelated to physical activity, diet, metabolism, or weight (e.g., immunizations during pregnancy and encouragement to immunize the baby on schedule, postpartum contraceptive options and developing a contraceptive plan, infant car seats \& safety checks).

Birthweight-for-gestational-age Z-score based on the sex- and gestational-age-specific birth-weight distributions of the 2017 U.S. Natality files. Z-scores more extreme than -1.645 and +1.645 indicate birthweight-for-gestational-age-and-sex at \<10th and \>90th percentiles, respectively, and thus indicate increased risks for adverse health outcomes (as the relationship is U-shaped). A Z-score of 0 represents birthweight-for-gestational-age-and-sex at the 50th percentile. Reference: Aris IM, Kleinman KP, Belfort MB, Kaimal A, Oken E.
