Methods: This observational study utilized cross-sectional (n = 273) and longitudinal data (n = 242) from the HealthyMoms trial. Time spent in movement behaviors over seven consecutive 24-h periods (ActiGraph wGT3x-BT accelerometer), body composition (Bod Pod), and cardiometabolic health indicators (glucose levels, homeostatic model for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, metabolic syndrome (MetS) score) were measured in early and late pregnancy. Results: In early pregnancy, reallocating time to MVPA from LPA, SB, and sleep was associated with lower MetS score (adjusted γ = −0.343, P = 0.002). Correspondingly, reallocating time to LPA from SB and sleep in early pregnancy was associated with lower body weight (adjusted γ = −5.959, P = 0.047) and HOMA-IR (adjusted γ = −0.557, P = 0.031) at the same time point. Furthermore, reallocating time to LPA from SB and sleep in early pregnancy was associated with lower fat mass index (adjusted γ = −0.668, P = 0.028), glucose levels (adjusted γ = −0.315, P = 0.006),HOMA-IR (adjusted γ = −0.779, P = 0.004), and MetS score (adjusted γ = −0.470, P = 0.027) in late pregnancy. The changes in behaviors throughout pregnancy were not associated with body weight, body composition, andMetS score in late pregnancy. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that increasing LPA or MVPA while reducing SB and sleep was associated with lower weight and more favorable cardiometabolic health in early pregnancy. In contrast, LPA in early pregnancy seems to be a stimulus of enough intensity to improve body composition and cardiometabolic health indicators in late pregnancy.}, organization = {Swedish Research Counci 2016-01147}, organization = {Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (Forte) 2017-00088 2018-01410}, organization = {Bo and Vera Ax:son Johnsons' Foundation}, organization = {Strategic Research Area Health Care Science, Karolinska Institutet/Umea University}, organization = {Swedish Society of Medicine}, organization = {Karolinska Institutet}, organization = {Lions Forskningsfond}, organization = {ALF Grants, Region OEstergoetland LIO-893101 LIO-941191 M.
