Lifestyle changes including consuming a healthy diet and physical activity are core strategies for management. Since 2020 and the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, use of telehealth has increased; however, little is known about the effectiveness of virtually delivered strategies for maintaining healthy gestational weight during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe the effect of virtually delivered lifestyle interventions on promoting healthy GWG and reducing maternal and foetal complications associated with excessive GWG, with the view to inform future clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review followed preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and targeted quantitative studies assessing virtually delivered lifestyle interventions for maintaining healthy gestational weight for overweight and obese pregnant individuals aged 18 and older.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data sources and methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six databases (MEDLINE, CINHAL, EMBASE, EMCARE, MIDIRS and APA PsycINFO) were searched using a rigorous search strategy.
