This randomized-controlled pilot study will examine the implementation of a cardiovascular health intervention on postpartum mothers and infants. The investigators will adapt a cardiovascular health intervention into an evidence-based home visiting program, Family Check-Up to create Family Check-Up Heart. Through a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness implementation design, the pilot study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of Family Check-Up Heart (Family Check-Up Heart, n=100; Family Check-Up, n=50). The investigators hypothesize that Family Check-Up Heart will show comparable levels of engagement and acceptability as Family Check-Up alone, and mothers receiving Family Check-Up Heart will have greater improvements in cardiovascular health at 6 months postpartum compared to Family Check-Up alone.
