This randomized trial will test whether the implementation of an mHealth tool in the health-plan setting increases the proportion of overweight and obese women with appropriate total gestational weight gain, according to Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines in comparison to usual care. Primary outcomes include the proportion of women with total gestational weight gain meeting the IOM guidelines and the rate of gain from the first trimester to delivery (in kilograms per week).
