Through this program, women or couples who have similar due dates meet regularly as a group with their health care provider, sharing information, concerns and developments.
As a result, women are able to spend more time with their health care provider while also developing a sense of community and emotional support. It is a fun and exciting way to learn and grow together through one of life’s greatest adventures.
As part of the Centering Pregnancy® program, women:
- Learn more about self-care
- Learn how to take their own vital signs
- Spend more time with their healthcare provider – sessions last 90 minutes
- Receive important stress management and nutritional information
- Learn more about parenting and newborn care
Women who participate have increased breastfeeding success and decreased rates of preterm birth. In addition, studies have shown that women who participate in the program have a more positive labor and delivery experience.
