About

This is a pilot longitudinal mixed-methods study of pregnant women (n=20) who participate in CPC+Y at the VCU Health System Nelson Clinic or the Virginia Department of Health Richmond Health District's prenatal clinic (RHD) during their pregnancies. This pilot project will provide the necessary preliminary data to fuel an appropriately powered randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of CPC+Y in controlling weight gain, enhancing stress resilience, and improving maternal-child outcomes among overweight/obese diverse women. Because increasing physical activity has been found to have important mental health effects and maternal-child outcomes, it stands to reason that this innovative intervention has the potential to impact the way prenatal care is delivered in high risk populations.

40 participants in 2 patient groups

Yoga (CPC+Y)
Experimental group
Description:
Women in Centering Pregnancy Care (CPC) will receive the intervention which is a 30 minute yoga sessions during each of the 2-hour CPC meetings (CPC+Y)
Treatment:
Behavioral: Centering Pregnancy Care plus Yoga (CPC+Y)
Comparison (CPC alone)
No Intervention group
Description:
To strengthen our ability to examine causal relationships between the intervention and outcomes, we will use longitudinal comparison group data contributed from deidentified archival data from an existing IRB-approved study (PI: Masho) which includes pregnant women who participated in the CPC model of care alone (without the yoga component) and were followed throughout their pregnancies using numerous measures identical to those in the proposed study, including weight/BMI, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress.
