CenteringPregnancy®: Group Prenatal Visits

 

WHAT IS CENTERING?

Christie Clinic Department of OB/GYN offers group prenatal care, also known as CenteringPregnancy®. CenteringPregnancy brings together a group of expecting moms who are due around the same time, for a series of two-hour routine prenatal care visits. During each visit, you engage in your own care by checking your weight and blood pressure, recording your health data, and having private time with a provider for a belly check. This active participation makes you more aware of your results and what it means to your and your baby’s health. The remaining time is a facilitated group discussion on health topics related to your pregnancy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Better Health Outcomes: Increased rates of breastfeeding, reduced risk of preterm delivery, reduced rate of low birth weights.
Self-Care: You are actively engaged in your own healthcare and own your health information.
Self-Confidence: Centering better prepares you for labor, delivery, and caring for your infant.
More time with a provider: While enrolled in Centering, you will spend 10 times more time with a provider than women in traditional care. There is also no waiting, groups will start and end on time.
Support and Friendship: A special community develops within Centering groups. You will have the opportunity to support other expectant moms who are going through a similar experience. Fellow moms are a wonderful resource during this very exciting, yet stressful time.
Learning and Fun: Centering is fun and interactive! Participants are empowered to share and learn from others in the group.

WHO CAN I BRING?

You may bring one support person with you, it is helpful if it is the same person each visit. To ensure the focus stays on mom, we ask that children not attend the group sessions. Childcare will not be provided.

WHAT IS THE COST?

Group prenatal care will be billed in the same fashion as traditional prenatal visits. The only additional cost is $24.00 for the CenteringPregnancy notebook, which will be used throughout the sessions.

HOW TO SIGN UP:

To sign up for CenteringPregnancy, ask your provider at your first prenatal visit or send your provide a message through the MyChristie Patient Portal. We will provide you with a schedule for session dates that will carry throughout your pregnancy.
