CenteringPregnancy® Group Care

Mercy’s CenteringPregnancy® prenatal care offers expectant mothers group sessions designed to make you feel more prepared for the birth of your baby. You’ll gather with your health care team and a group of eight to 12 women with due dates similar to yours. You can attend 10 prenatal visits, each followed by a one-and-a-half to two-hour group session with education and activities guided by your health care provider. Feel free to bring your partner or support person with you.
