Home | News | Press Releases | Centering Pregnancy Group Resumes Post-COVID
Did you know that we recently resumed our Centering Pregnancy groups?
Centering Pregnancy is prenatal care in a group setting with other women with similar due dates. During each Centering session, time is split between one-on-one care with a private midwife and group time where wellness topics are discussed among everyone, and the patient is empowered to be an integral part of her own care.
During Centering sessions, expecting mothers discuss topics surrounding their pregnancy such as what to pack in your hospital bag, and they have the opportunity to do weekly check-ins with healthcare professionals as well as getting to tour the CVMC Birthing Center ahead of their due date.
With Centering, studies have shown that moms have a decreased risk of preterm birth, appropriate weight gain throughout pregnancy, increased breastfeeding rates, and compliance with care.
Centering Pregnancy groups now meet on scheduled Wednesdays in The POD, which is located in The Center for Women and Children at Catawba Valley Medical Center. Groups previously met at Catawba County Public Health. Sessions are offered in both English and Spanish.
To learn more about Centering Pregnancy, contact Maternity Services at 828-466-7196 or visit us online at CatawbaValleyHealth.org/POD.
