Brief Summary:

Multicenter and multidisciplinary public health project in 10 regions of Bavaria, a federal state of Germany, targeting maternal and fetal health.

The intervention comprises 4 individual counseling sessions addressing healthy living. Primary outcome: gestational weight gain. Secondary outcomes are pregnancy and obstetric complications like gestational diabetes and rate of caesarean sections as well as offspring health.

The lifestyle intervention program is adapted to the German health care system to allow an immediate implementation after successful evaluation.
