Specific Aims. 1. To determine whether an early bilingual culturally grounded lifestyle intervention program based on healthy eating and exercise will improve the percentage of women who are compliant with GWG (IOM guidelines) in overweight/obese Hispanic women. Hypothesis: Overweight and obese Hispanic women who participate in an early lifestyle intervention program will improve healthy eating habits and physical activity and result in a higher compliance with Institute of Medicine guidelines for GWG, when compared to patients receiving standard care. Intervention should also improve post-partum weight loss. 2. To compare the occurrence of carbohydrate intolerance and diabetes at 24-28 weeks gestation and at 6 week post-partum between women in the lifestyle intervention group and women receiving standard care. Oral glucose tolerance test and hemoglobin HbA1C will be assessed at baseline, at mid-pregnancy GDM screening visit (24-28 weeks gestation) and at 6 weeks and 3 months postpartum. Hypothesis: The lifestyle intervention program will result in a lower rate of carbohydrate intolerance during gestation and shortly after delivery compared to women receiving standard care. At the first obstetrical visit, overweight/obese Hispanic women with one or more risk factors for developing gestational diabetes will be provided with an individualized instruction on nutrition and physical activity. 3. To determine the impact of the lifestyle intervention in preventing maternal and neonatal complications compared to women receiving standard care.
