Brief Summary
The goal of this feasibility randomized controlled trial is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and demand, as well as preliminary effects of an evidence-based Intuitive Eating (IE) intervention among pregnant women who have obesity. The main research questions are: RQ1: What is the feasibility (acceptability and demand) of implementing an Intuitive Eating Intervention among pregnant and postpartum women? RQ2: How does participation in the Pregnancy Intuitive Eating Intervention (PIE-I) impact key maternal health outcomes (i.e., gestational weight gain, intuitive eating behaviors, dietary quality, body image, and mental health) compared to a wait-list control? Researchers will compare the Pregnancy Intuitive Eating Intervention (PIE-I) intervention group with the wait-list control to see what impact the PIE-I has on maternal well-being. Participants randomized to the intervention group will complete the 8 week asynchronous IE intervention and have an opportunity to interview at the end of the study.
