ObjectiveTo synthesise the evidence on the overall and differential effects of interventions based on diet and physical activity during pregnancy, primarily on gestational weight gain and maternal and offspring composite outcomes, according to women's body mass index, age, parity, ethnicity, and pre-existing medical condition; and secondarily on individual complications. DESIGNSystematic review and meta-analysis of individual participant data (IPD). DATA SOURCESMajor electronic databases from inception to February 2017 without language restrictions. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIESRandomised trials on diet and physical activity based interventions in pregnancy. DATA SYNTHESISStatistical models accounted for clustering of participants within trials and heterogeneity across trials leading to summary mean differences or odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for the effects overall, and in subgroups (interactions). RESULTS IPD CONCLUSIONDiet and physical activity based interventions during pregnancy reduce gestational weight gain and lower the odds of caesarean section. There is no evidence that effects differ across subgroups of women.

“…The meta-analysis result did not show any significant difference between aerobic exercise and control groups in terms of the duration of the first stage of labour. In studies conducted by Barakat et al (2018) from Spain (Barakat et al, 2018), Ghodsi et al (Ghodsi & Asltoghiri, 2014), Toosi et al (Toosi & Akbarzadeh, 2016) and Zarezadeh et al (Zarezadeh & Nemati, 2016), prenatal exercise did not reduce the duration of the first stage of labour, but the results obtained in studies by Price et al (Price et al, 2012) and Salvesen et al (Salvesen et al, 2014) disagree with this finding. A study by Perales et al (Perales, Calabria, et al, 2016) The results of meta-analysis showed that prenatal exercise had no effect on the duration of the second stage of labour.…”

“…The abstracts of 195 studies were reviewed, and 179 were discarded for incompatibility with the outcomes examined in this systematic review study and their greater emphasis on prenatal outcomes. Finally, 16 studies(14 studies in English and 2 studies in Persian) with a total of 3,605 participants were included in this systematic review, including 6 from Spain (Barakat et al., , 2009 , 2012 , 2014 , 2018 ; Perales, Calabria, et al., 2016 ; Rodriguez‐Diaz et al., 2017 ), one from the United States (Price et al., 2012 ), five from Iran (Ghodsi & Asltoghiri, 2014 ; Memari et al., 2006 ; Tab ari et al., 2010 ; Toosi & Akbarzadeh, 2016 ; Zarezadeh & Nemati, 2016 ), two from Norway (Haakstad & Bø, 2011 ; Sanda et al., 2018 ), one from Brazil (da Silva et al., 2017 ) and one from Sweden (Salvesen et al., 2014 ), and nine meta‐analyses were ultimately carried out. Motahhari's study (Tab ari et al., 2010 ) had the lowest number of participants ( n = 44) and da Silva's (da Silva et al., 2017 ) the highest ( n = 611).…”

“…The variety of aerobic exercises performed in these studies included aerobic dance moves (Barakat et al., , 2009 , 2018 ; Perales, Santos‐Lozano, et al., 2016 ), walking (Zarezadeh & Nemati, 2016 ) and cycling (Ghodsi & Asltoghiri, 2014 ). The interventions had begun at 9–12 weeks of gestation in the Spanish studies (Barakat et al., , 2009 , 2018 ; Perales, Santos‐Lozano, et al., 2016 ) but after week 20 of gestation in the Iranian studies (Tab ari et al., 2010 ; Toosi & Akbarzadeh, 2016 ) and, in some cases, even after week 26 and late into the second trimester (Ghodsi & Asltoghiri, 2014 ; Zarezadeh & Nemati, 2016 ).…”

Pregnancy is among the most sensitive and important stages in the life of parents, and childbirth is an important event in a woman's life. The duration of labour varies in different women and is affected by factors such as age, parity, foetal size and maternal weight (Chen et al., 2018).A prolonged first stage of labour entails complications such as compressed foetal head in the birth canal, lower neonatal Apgar score and foetal death (Allen et al., 2007). A prolonged second stage of labour is associated with increased frequency of caesarean section, tearing of the birth canal and damage to the perineal muscles (Brown et al., 2011). Moreover, a prolonged delivery is also associated with many other maternal complications such as uterine atony and increased maternal mortality, and foetal complications such as foetal distress and reduced foetal Apgar score (Direkvand-Moghadam & Rezaeian, 2012). Given that maternal and neonatal complications increase with the duration

“…Pregnancy is one of the most sensitive and important stages of women's life. The importance of pregnancy is remarkable as the health and well-being of mother directly affect the current and future lives of the fetus [1,2]. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2010 report, approximately 1,000 pregnant women worldwide die every day due to pregnancy and childbirth complications, with 99% of them occurring in developing countries [3].…”

Background Pregnancy is one of the most sensitive and important stages of women's life. Maternal health literacy is the key to achieving a healthy pregnancy. It also affects pregnancy outcomes by improving the quality of health care in this period. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of maternal health literacy inventory in pregnancy (MHELIP). Methods This sequential, exploratory and mixed study was carried out in two parts (qualitative study and psychometric evaluation of the tool) in Tehran in 2016-18. The first part involved a qualitative content analysis with a traditional approach using in-depth, semi-structured and personal interviews with 19 eligible pregnant women. Then, the pool of items extracted from the qualitative part was completed by reviewing the existing literature and tools. In the second part, the overlapping items were summarized and the tool was validated. In order to evaluate the construct validity, a cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 320 pregnant women. Data analysis was performed by SPSS-19 software using exploratory factor analysis and reliability tests (Cronbach's alpha and ICC). Results Findings of qualitative part produced a pool of 120 items that reached to 124 items after reviewing the literature. After confirming face and content validity by calculating CVI and CVR for each item, 53 items remained in the pool. Finally, the results of exploratory factor analysis confirmed a tool with 48 items in four factors, explaining 46.49% of the variance of total variables of the tool. Reliability of the tool was approved by Cronbach's alpha = 0.94
