Abstract
Centering-based group care brings together a cohort of eight to 12 pregnant people with similar gestation early in pregnancy for care during eight to ten sessions throughout pregnancy and early postpartum. The group sessions may continue until the second year postpartum for care for both the birthing parent and the baby. Successfully putting the group care model into practice is based on group facilitation rather than didactic, class-like presentations. Basic antenatal clinical care is provided individually during the group sessions, making it reimbursable within the setting’s payor system.
