Scientific title	A community lifestyle programme to improve the well-being of pregnant women with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m^2 or more: a feasibility study
Study objectives	The primary outcome of this study is to examine the feasibility of a 10-week lifestyle programme for pregnant women with a BMI of 30 kg/m^2 or more. Secondly, information will be provided regarding the influence of attendance at an antenatal 10-week lifestyle programme on women's physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing and weight gain.
Ethics approval(s)	1. South Manchester NHS Research Ethics Committee (REC), 10/08/2009, ref: 09/H1003/80 2. The University of Manchester Ethics Committee, 14/09/2009, ref: 09142
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Weight gain during pregnancy
Intervention	Women will be recruited to the study as soon after their booking appointment as possible (after 12 weeks gestation). They will be invited to attend a 10-week community lifestyle programme before 30 weeks gestation. The programme will be provided as a supplement to standard antenatal care. The programme is multi-faceted (addresses physical activity, healthy eating and emotional well-being), aimed at equipping participants with the skills and knowledge needed to adopt healthy behaviours. The programme runs for one and a half hour a week for 10 weeks. The women are given questionnaires to complete at baseline, the start of the 10-week programme, the end of the 10-week programme and at 4 - 6 weeks post-partum. They are invited to a follow-up focus group at 4 - 6 weeks post-partum. The women are also asked to complete a daily diary from recruitment to the follow-up focus group.
Intervention type	Behavioural
Primary outcome measure(s)	1. Weight gain during pregnancy, weighed at booking and at the end of the pregnancy 2. Pregnancy outcome data (e.g., birth weight and mode of delivery), measured at end of the pregnancy
Key secondary outcome measure(s)	1. Psychological outcomes including self-efficacy, well-being and goal attainment: measured at four timepoints in questionnaire (baseline, start of the 10-week programme, end of the 10-week programme and 4 - 6 week postpartum follow-up) 2. Women's experience of pregnancy and health care services: measured at four timepoints in questionnaire (baseline, start of the 10-week programme, end of the 10-week programme and 4 - 6 week postpartum follow-up) and daily diary from recruitment to 1 - 6 weeks postpartum 3. Amount of physical activity: measured at four timepoints in questionnaire (baseline, start of the 10-week programme, end of the 10-week programme and 4 - 6 week postpartum follow-up) and daily diary from recruitment to 1 - 6 weeks postpartum 4. Food intake: measured at four timepoints in questionnaire (baseline, start of the 10-week programme, end of the 10-week programme and 4 - 6 week postpartum follow-up) and daily diary from recruitment to 1 - 6 weeks postpartum 5. The suitability and acceptability of the intervention components: measured post-programme in the end of programme questionnaire and post-partum follow-up questionnaire and focus group
