Our Centering Pregnancy Approach
Whether you choose to have a midwife or OB-GYN, you can benefit from our Centering Pregnancy approach, designed by the national Centering Healthcare Institute. At no extra cost, you have access to 10 educational group sessions spread throughout your pregnancy journey. Each time, you meet with the same small group of pregnant people who are due around the same time as you. You'll feel the power of community, and you might even meet your lifelong mom friend!
At each Centering Pregnancy session, a midwife or nurse from our team shares information and facilitates a discussion on a different topic. The topics include nutrition in pregnancy, what to expect in labor, stress management, breastfeeding and more. You not only learn from our certified instructor — you'll also share wisdom with each other.
Our Centering Pregnancy meet-ups are complete with healthy refreshments. We schedule them when you're due for a growth check, which happens during the meeting. Convenience. Education. Health care. Mom friends. Snacks. We've thought of everything!
