Group Prenatal Care and Perinatal Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial Jeannette R. Ickovics, Trace S. Kershaw, Claire Westdahl, Urania Magriples, Zohar Massey, Heather Reynolds, and Sharon Schindler Rising

Obstet Gynecol. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2008 March 31. PMCID: PMC2276878 Published in final edited form as: Obstet Gynecol. 2007 August; 110(2 Pt 1): 330339. doi: 10.1097/01.AOG.0000275284.24298.23. Intro Group prenatal care, also known as Centering is a rapidly growing method being used for women to receive prenatal care during their pregnancy. It is an evidenced-based approach to prenatal healthcare that allows for a better overall experience for not only the woman, but for the healthcare provider as well. Centering allows your patients to receive quality assessment, education, and support during their pregnancy. What Centering allows women to receive their prenatal care in groups rather than as an individual. It allows women to interact with each other as well as providing more quality time with their healthcare provider. Centering provides a safe, efficient, and cost-effective approach to prenatal care. It has benefits not only for the mother, but the infant and the healthcare facility as well. Why-Mom Centering allows the expectant mother to make new friends. Women are grouped in small groups (usually 8-10), with other women whose due dates are in a similar time frame. There is also the benefit of not waiting around for an appointment. Women know what time it starts and what time it ends. Many of these women continue to participate in reunions after they have given birth or even in Centering-style Pediatric care. It also allows the women more time with their healthcare provide and/or medical staff and allows a greater opportunity for them to have any questions answered that they may have. In a typical setting, women see their physician and have a brief amount of time in which to ask questions and get information. Centering allows women a 1 -2 hour window in which they can interact with their healthcare provider and get any information that they may need. Group care also allows the women to participate more actively by allowing them to record their own weights, take blood pressures, and share their personal experiences with other women who are going through a similar experience. Why-Infant Studies have shown that women participating in centering models of prenatal care were less likely to have preterm births, more likely to breastfeed, and were more knowledgeable about pregnancy and labor and delivery (cite O&G Group prenatal and peri outcomes). It has also been shown that mothers participating in group prenatal care have also experienced an increase in pre-term birth weights as well as a one pound increase in term birth weights(Cite O&G preterm birth weight and LA County term). Why-facility. Centering allows for more efficient, timely, and cost-efficient approach to prenatal healthcare. It reduces cost by taking up less space and allowing the rooms usually needed for examination to be used for other needs. It has a start time and an end time that allows for more efficient planning allows the facility to make good use of its time. Centering has also been shown to reduce emergency room visits during pregnancy which reduces cost for both the hospital and the mother(CITE). Centering provides a learning experience for staff that they can take on to other communities in the future. There is also the added opportunity for the staff and/or facility to receive feedback about the experience and to allow for improvements. How Centering experiences vary from location to location, but generally all provide a similar experience. Every expectant mother will have a one-on-one first time visit. There they will be provided information about what group they will be placed in and will be wet up for all their future visits. This allows the mother to know throughout the entire pregnancy when her Drs appointments are. After the initial visit, they meet monthly up until time for delivery when they will meet weekly or bi-weekly. During their group visits they are provided time to interact with each other recording weights, vital signs, and physical changes while each woman is

individually examined in a private area of the room. The individual exam allows them the opportunity to listen to the babys heartbeat, check uterine growth, and address and specific concerns. After all women have had their physical exam, they all get together with the staff and healthcare provider to talk about topics related to pregnancy and birth. This gives the women an opportunity to ask questions and also allow them to listen and respond to other womens questions and allows them access to information that they might not have thought to ask in a one-on-one setting. Some groups will continue to meet for at least one time after the mothers have given birth so that the mothers can share their birthing experience, while some lead into a Centered-style pediatric program.
