Thirty-three individuals were interviewed over the course of the two-year project. Their stories generated rich data and a new understanding of the management of overweight and obesity throughout all stages of pregnancy, including pre-pregnancy and conception, pregnancy, labour and delivery, as well as post-pregnancy.
