Objectiveto describe obese women's experiences of participating in a lifestyle intervention and its experienced impact on health and lifestyle.Designqualitative method with a phenomenological lifeworld approach. The interviews were analyzed in accordance with the phenomenological method.Participants and setting11 women who had participated in a lifestyle intervention project, targeting pregnant women with BMI ≥30 in southwestern Sweden, were interviewed a few weeks before delivery.Findingsthe essence of these women's experiences was expressed as: implementing new habits required support, from midwives, partners, relatives, friends, or obese pregnant women in the same situation, or by participating in the intervention itself. The support had to be non-judgmental and with a balanced outlook on weight. Participation had taught them about weight gain control. The women were motivated to try to control their gestational weight gain, although not all of them were initially convinced that this would be possible. The essential structure of participation can be described with the following constituents: ''pregnancy encourages change'', ''to be supported by non-judgmental people'', ''from bad habits to conscious choices'' and; ''barriers to change''.Key conclusionsin order to implement new habits, participants expressed a need for support, given with a non-judgmental attitude and a balanced outlook on weight. The women experienced that the lifestyle changes could be less burdensome than previously imagined, and that slight changes could yield unexpectedly successful results. In order to maintain a lifestyle change, obese women must perceive some kind of results, i.e. increased quality of life or weight gain control.Implications for practicenon-judgmental support from midwives is crucial. Affinity with other pregnant obese women in an exercise group or dietary group setting is supportive.
