Centering Pregnancy

The Teen and Pregnant Program has a group-centered model of care called CenteringPregnancy.  

The CenteringPregnancy program brings together women who are at similar stages of pregnancy to meet, learn care skills and participate in group discussions.

Patients who choose to enroll will participate in up to 10 sessions in a group setting, receiving all their prenatal care and pregnancy/childbirth education in one location.

Benefits to CenteringPregnancy participation:

  • Establish a support network of peers

  • Less wait time before regular prenatal appointments

  • Refreshments provided

CenteringPregnancy is a method of prenatal care that has been proven to decrease preterm births and increase healthy habits, learning, and friendships for pregnant teens.
