The Slimmer Zwanger app is in a research phase and is therefore offered to participants in the Zon MW subsidized HYGEIA study that is carried out from the Erasmus MC Rotterdam. For more information, visit www.slimmerzwangeronderzoek.nl A healthy diet and lifestyle are important for (mental) health and a healthy weight. This is extra important for future parents in the period before and during pregnancy, because it also has consequences for the chance of becoming pregnant, the course of the pregnancy for mother and child, and their health later. The Slimmer Zwanger app consists of a personal coaching program. At the start of the program you complete a questionnaire about the most important nutritional and lifestyle habits. You will then receive personal coaching via the app for 6 months to encourage you to change unhealthy habits and maintain healthy habits. Every 6 weeks you complete a new questionnaire to adapt the coaching to the current situation and to track your progress. The app consists of several parts: - A habit diary to help you learn new habits. - An exercise module with information, exercises and a pedometer. - A medication and supplements module with information and a medication overview (including reminders). - A nutrition module with information and healthy recipes. - A mental well-being module with information, exercises for relaxation and sleep and a diary. - A care module with information and the ability to keep track of appointments.
