What this study is about
The goal of this feasibility randomized controlled trial is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and demand, as well as preliminary effects of an evidence-based Intuitive Eating (IE) intervention among pregnant women who have obesity. The main questions we aim to answer are: RQ1: What is the feasibility (acceptability and demand) of implementing an Intuitive Eating Intervention among pregnant and postpartum women? RQ2: How does participation in the Pregnancy Intuitive Eating Intervention (PIE-I) impact key maternal health outcomes (i.e., gestational weight gain, intuitive eating behaviors, dietary quality, body image, and mental health) compared to a wait-list control? Researchers will compare the Pregnancy Intuitive Eating Intervention (PIE-I) intervention group with the wait-list control to see what impact the PIE-I has on maternal well-being. Participants randomized to the intervention group will complete the 8 week asynchronous IE intervention and have an opportunity to interview at the end of the study.

Intuitive Eating Intervention
The (PIE-I) will be based on the IE Book \& Workbook published by RDNs Evelyn Tribole \& Elyse Resch. Each week, participants will be asked to watch 20 minute online modules and complete 1-2 workbook pages. Optional office hours will be held by Certified Intuitive Eating Counselors. The online modules are as follows: Week 1: Orientation of IE framework, overview of 10 Intuitive Eating Principles, and Principle 1-Reject Diet Culture Week 2: Principle 2-Honor Your Hunger \& Principle 3-Make Peace with Food Week 3: Principle 4-Discover the Satisfaction Factor Week 4: Principle 5-Feel Your Fullness Week 5: Principle 6-Challenge the Food Police Week 6: Principle 7-Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness Week 7: Principle 8-Respect Your Body\& Principle 9 -Movement: Feel the Difference Week 8: Principle 10-Honor Your Health with Gentle Nutrition, wrap-up and conclusion of modules
Primary outcomes
Intervention acceptability will be assessed using a post-intervention satisfaction survey administered at 8 weeks. Participants will rate satisfaction with the intervention, intention to continue using intuitive eating principles, and perceived appropriateness of the intervention content for pregnancy on a 1-5 scale. The feasibility benchmark will be met if ≥70% of participants provide a rating of ≥4 for each indicator.
Perceived intervention burden will be assessed using a post-intervention survey on a 1-5 scale, with higher scores indicating greater perceived burden. The feasibility benchmark will be a mean burden rating of ≤2.5.
Retention will be calculated as the proportion of enrolled participants who complete the intervention and 8-week post-intervention assessment. The feasibility benchmark is ≥80% retention (≥64 of 80 enrolled participants).
Intervention adherence will be assessed using Moodle analytics. Participants will be considered adherent if they complete at least 6 of the 8 intervention modules. The feasibility benchmark will be met if ≥70% of participants meet this adherence criterion.
Participant engagement will be assessed using Moodle and Zoom analytics. Platform interactions will include logins, module views, and attendance at weekly Zoom office hours. The feasibility benchmark will be a median of ≥1 platform interaction per participant per week during the 8-week intervention.
