It's all about Groups

You will be in a group with other women whose due dates are close to yours.  In each of the ten sessions, you will have a private time with your health care provider and some refreshments.  Then you will meet as a group to discuss questions, concerns, and solutions.

It's all about Self-Care

You will learn to take your own blood pressure and weight and enter the information into your chart.  You will receive information and tools to help you make healthier choices for you, your baby, and your family.

It's all about Women

You will meet other expectant moms and have an opportunity to share stories and learn from one another. You will be able to talk about health issues that are important to you and all the things you are going through - physically and emotionally. You will be together every month at first, then, as the birth of your baby approaches, you will meet every two weeks.

It's all about Time

You will receive a schedule of all the group times before you even  begin.  This makes it easy to arrange childcare or meet work obligations.  You won't need to enroll in separate childbirth classes - you will cover everything in your group ! Every minute of your time will be occupied, not spent sitting alone in a waiting room or examination room.

Centering Pregnancy is . . .

an exciting way for women and their families to get prenatal care.  Women spend more time with their health care provider and with other pregnant women, which gives them a chance to learn a lot more about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. Check ups, support, and education all take place in a group setting.
