“…Measuring the mediating effects of the intervention on behavioural outcomes and the moderating effects of participant characteristics on behavioural outcomes is important in this regard, in addition to conducting a process evaluation. To our knowledge, only two process evaluations of a diet and physical activity behaviour-change intervention in pregnancy have been published ( 11 , 55 ) , reflecting the limited use of process evaluation and perhaps the financial and time constraints involved. Comprehensive outcome and process evaluation of interventions would help guide future behaviour-change research and, subsequently, clinical practice.…”

To enhance the evidence base for successful behaviour-change interventions during pregnancy, adoption of behaviour-change theories and techniques, and use of published guidelines when designing lifestyle interventions are necessary. The proposed decision tree may be a useful guide for researchers working to develop effective behaviour-change interventions in clinical settings. This guide directs researchers towards key literature sources that will be important in each stage of study development.

High-quality evidence indicates that diet or exercise, or both, during pregnancy can reduce the risk of excessive GWG. Other benefits may include a lower risk of caesarean delivery, macrosomia, and neonatal respiratory morbidity, particularly for high-risk women receiving combined diet and exercise interventions. Maternal hypertension may also be reduced. Exercise appears to be an important part of controlling weight gain in pregnancy and more research is needed to establish safe guidelines. Most included studies were carried out in developed countries and it is not clear whether these results are widely applicable to lower income settings.
