Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maternal weight changedeliveryMaternal weight change will be calculated from the difference between the weight at delivery and the pre-pregnancy weight,

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Weight of the baby at birthdeliveryThe weight of the child will be measured at delivery by a baby-scale measured in kilograms on the day of birth. This weight will be adjusted to the gestational age, in accordance with ARS recommendations defining weight standards according to gestational age.
The women's nutritional intake and its distribution16 weeks of gestation, 24 weeks of gestation, 34 of gestation, 6 months of gestationThe women's nutritional intake and its distribution will be assessed through a food frequency questionnaire and recall from 24 hours to 16 SA (over a period of 8-16 SA). At the next two appointments during pregnancy and postpartum, a 3-day dietary survey will be conducted at 24 SA (over a period of 21- 24 SA) and 34 SA (over a period of 31-34 SA), as well as at 6 months postpartum
Screening for gestational diabetes16 weeks of gestation, 24 weeks of gestation, 34 weeks of gestationby fasting blood glucose or OGTT (orally induced glucose)
Maternal weight loss6 months after deliveryMaternal weight loss will be calculated by the difference between the weight at delivery and the weight 6 months after delivery
evaluation of BMI during pregnancyfrom day 0 to deliveryfrom the weight of the patient, the BMI is calculated
Physical activity16 weeks of gestation, 24 weeks of gestation, 34 of gestation, 6 months of gestationwill be measured with the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ)
The support of the entourage34 weeks of gestation, 6 months after deliverywill be measured by the Sarason Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ6 )
Women's satisfaction with their follow-up during pregnancy34 weeks of gestation, 6 months after deliverywill be assessed by means of a satisfaction survey adapted to the needs of the study at 34 days' gestation
Direct medical, non-medical and indirect costs, valued from the French Healthcare insurancefrom day 0 to 6 months after deliverymeasured with the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire evaluated at 6 months after delivery (for the cost-utility analysis), the number of caesarean sections avoided (for the cost-effectiveness analysis)
