Participant exclusion criteria
1. Obese women (BMI =30 (kg/m2) - as the focus is primary prevention and because obese women are deemed high risk and typically receive consultant led care.
2. Other women deemed high risk by the CMW at the booking appointment will not be invited to take part (e.g. more than one foetus, history of complications, preexisting chronic illness etc).
3. If a woman is deemed high risk at any time after the booking visit, the CMW will determine whether it is appropriate for her to continue in the study, but where possible we will try to retain them.
