Centering pregnancy

  We are doing centering through the midwife group at our hospital. It's been a good experience for us to be around others going through the same thing as us and hear about other experiences. As long as you have a normal, healthy pregnancy, I think it's a great way to get prenatal care!

  Basically, I will have my prenatal visits up to 36 weeks with a group of women due the same month as me. We check our own urine samples, take our own blood pressure, etc. Then we all sit together while we get our belly/baby's heartbeat checked and talk about concerns and other things as a group. We will have a different midwife lead the group each visit and we'll discuss whatever topics our groups wants to that will prepare us for delivery (like a condensed birth class session). I think the overall goal is to allow us to feel in charge and involved with the process of pregnancy as well as give us a place to communicate with other moms.

  I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. I am really looking forward to it so I hope it turns out to be as great as I think it will be!
