CenteringPregnancy®

CenteringPregnancy® is a fun, innovative, patient-centered approach to prenatal care offered at Piedmont Athens Regional Midwifery Practice.

Women begin care in the usual manner with a private examination but then they are invited to regularly meet throughout their pregnancy with a group of other women with similar due dates. The centering groups are designed to build a sense of community by promoting relationships among the women and the midwife. During group time, women can discuss things related to pregnancy, childbirth, parenting and personal growth.

Centering groups are designed to strengthen the women's belief in herself and her ability to give birth. The CenteringPregnancy® program is a model of empowerment for women to take control of their bodies and their pregnancies.
