  1. Visit-specific values are reported as mean (SE) and βintervention corresponds to the difference between the intervention and control group at both follow-up visits, adjusting for baseline levels, and with multiple imputation, from a linear mixed model. The ITT analysis excludes n = 2 participants who lost their pregnancies after randomization
