CenteringPregnancy® 

Based on the Centering model, which combines facilitated, group-based medical appointments with health assessments, interactive learning and community building, CenteringPregnancy® provides group prenatal care which consists of:

• A group visit of 8-10 birthing people due around the same time
• Participants of different ages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds
• Visits that are 90-120 minutes, giving pregnant people 10x more time with their provider
• One-on-one time with the provider for a belly and baby check
• Assessment training for participants to learn how to record some of their own health data
• Facilitated “circle-up” discussions and activities
• Centering curriculum and materials that include everything from nutrition, common discomforts, stress management, labor and delivery, breastfeeding and infant care are covered
• Lasting community relationships
