Summary

This study is a randomized control trial (RCT) evaluating a Prenatal Walking Program (PWP) in comparison to a Postpartum Prep Program (PPP) comparison group for pregnant women experiencing depressive symptoms. In addition to assessing changes in depressive symptoms, the investigators will examine other key maternal outcomes (maternal functioning, pain, anxiety, stress, fatigue), as well as infant outcomes including birth record data (gestation, weight, Apgar scores, etc) and careful, in-person assessment of infant neurobiological functioning at 30 days postpartum.
