Centering Pregnancy is a cutting edge, exciting new way for women to receive their prenatal care! 'Centering' takes the care out of the exam room and into a group setting of 10 women, all due at or near the same date. For 2 hours, on 10 separate occasions during your pregnancy, you will progress through prenatal 'visits' that begins with the individual collection of measurements (listening to your baby's heart beat, your weight, etc) and then gather together in your group to discuss, inform, support and share together. The group sessions will be facilitated by one of our certified nurse-midwives that has been trained and certified in The Centering Pregnancy model of care and assisted by a staff member or another certified nurse-midwife.

Each 2 hour group session is built around one topic from a core curriculum such as nutrition, preparing for labor, family planning, breastfeeding. Special speakers are incorporated during these sessions, lactation consultants, yoga instructors, pediatric experts. Centering is replacing traditional prenatal care all across the country. Women love the community that belonging to the group provides for them........not to mention no appointments and waiting rooms! Studies have even found that in some high risk populations, Centering prenatal care helped to reduce preterm deliveries and low birth weight babies.

If you think Centering is for you................please give us a call! 936-5858.
