Centering on Pregnancy

Why Centering Pregnancy?

• More time and opportunity for personal input than in standard midwifery care.
• A greater and more active role in your own care process.
• More time for health education and developing health literacy.
• Sharing knowledge and experiences with pregnant women who are due around the same time as you.
• Encouraging mutual support and friendship. When you participate in the program, you'll be doing so alongside about 10 other women who are due around the same time as you.

There are 10 two-hour sessions scheduled during your pregnancy and one session 6 weeks after giving birth.

During each of these sessions, a prenatal checkup takes place, in which you play an active role. In addition, information is provided and we discuss the issues you may encounter during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and what that means for you, your partner, and your family. There’s also time to get to know the other women in the group.

There are 1 or 2 partner sessions. This depends on the group’s preference. Prior to the Centering sessions, partners or children also have the opportunity to listen to the baby’s heartbeat. The sessions are led by one of us, together with another healthcare provider or a midwife in training.

These group sessions have been shown to help build confidence in yourself, your pregnancy, childbirth, and your role as a mother! We warmly welcome you to Centering Pregnancy!
