Imagine… having two hours to spend with your health care provider at each visit.
WHAT IS CENTERING PREGNANCY GROUP PRENATAL CARE ALL ABOUT??
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'll meet as a group to discuss questions, concerns, and solutions.
It's all about Self-Care
You'll learn to take your own blood pressure & weight and enter the information in your medical chart. You'll receive information and tools to help you make healthier choice for you, your baby and your whole family.
It's all about Women
You'll meet other expectant moms and have an opportunity to share stories and learn from one another. You'll be able to talk about health issues that are important to you and all the things you're going through-physically and emotionally. You'll be together every month at first, then, as the birth of your baby approaches, you'll meet every two weeks.
It's all about Time
You'll 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'll cover everything in your group! Every minute of your time will be occupied, not spent sitting alone in a waiting or examination room.
