Among the most important physiological events in a woman’s life are pregnancy and childbirth. Women and parents experience a range of feelings and thoughts which affect their decision-making. Pregnant women may experience intense anxiety and worry in addition to the significant social and emotional repercussions of childbirth and the adjustment to parenthood. This study explores women’s confidence and decision-making in Turkey.

Group care (GC) during pregnancy and early parenthood improves outcomes, including satisfaction with care, both for healthcare providers (group facilitators) and clients (group participants). Global evidence for the impact of GC is growing. Implementation, however, is generally small-scale and not scaled-up. The GC for the First 1000 Days project (GC_1000) aimed to bridge this gap by implementing antenatal and postnatal GC in health systems in seven countries around the world and systematising lessons learned. Tools are available to integrate GC into health care systems.

Facilitating group care successfully necessitates learning a range of essential skills including managing group dynamics, active listening, facilitating participant-led discussions and interactive activities. Developing these skills requires training, practice, confidence and a good dose of humility. Unlearning the role of midwife as expert is necessary to flatten hierarchy and draw out the expertise of the women/birthing people in order to enhance participants’ learning. This can feel challenging and anti-intuitive for midwives trained and practising in didactic systems. In this article we explore how developing the inter-personal skills required for group care facilitation can enhance the role of the midwife.

Centering-based group antenatal care (gANC) has been shown to be of value during pregnancy. But what about the postnatal period and beyond? In this article we discuss approaches to applying group care beyond pregnancy and immediate post birth to families with children in their early years.

In this interview, group care researchers Jalana Lazar and Anna Horn discuss the lived experiences of group care, from the perspectives of those providing and receiving group care. Informed by their fieldwork, they unpick the web of relationships amongst women, midwives and other health care professionals. Together, they consider a key group care feature – relationship building – exploring the model’s potential to bridge interdisciplinary relationships and apply relational maternity care.

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.

There are over 100 million pregnancies in low and middle income countries (LMICs) each year, and each pregnant person has a right to high-quality antenatal care (ANC).1 Coverage of four or more ANC contacts is only 68%, far short of the global target of 90% by 2030.2 Underutilisation of ANC limits opportunities to improve outcomes. Group care is considered a promising strategy to change this. It is estimated that over 500,000 stillbirths and more than five million small and vulnerable newborn births in LMICs could be prevented each year by high coverage of eight preventive interventions during ANC.3

The physiological adaptation of pregnancy brings complex haematological changes. To meet feto-placental requirements, blood plasma volume increases by 30 to 50%.1 This results in haemodilution, as red blood cell mass rises by 15 to 18%. However, those who take regular iron supplements, red blood cell production increases to 25 to 33%.1 The continuum of iron insufficiency ranges from iron depletion to iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).2 Anaemia in pregnancy is defined as a haemoglobin less than 110g/l in the first trimester, and less than 105g/l in the second and third trimester.2

Centering-based group antenatal and postnatal care (gAPNC) can improve quality of care. Implementation benefi ts from enthusiasts and careful planning. A steering committee to oversee planning, implementation and evaluation keeps the fi re alive and can provide support for the whole implementation team. gAPNC can be adapted to the local needs to fit as best as possible with the implementing organisation and its population. Sustainability requires ongoing training and support for practitioners. This article provides insights, tips and tricks for those that are wishing to implement gAPNC.
