  • Title: Antenatal group care in a midwifery group practice--a midwife' perspective.
    Author: Maier BJ.
    Journal: Women Birth; 2013 Mar; 26(1):87-9. PubMed ID: 22464949.
    Abstract:
    The following article describes a midwife's experience in the adaption of the CenteringPregnancy model into her own group practice to provide education and support to the women in her care. Using personal experience and feedback from women and midwifery students the author describes not only the process of group care in her work context but the apparent benefits to women, families', midwifery students and herself. Antenatal group care was so successful for the author that it extended to postnatal group care and student group care, all well attended and sought after groups. This is an exciting and innovative way to provide care for women and families and the author encourages other midwives and group practices to consider how they can adapt and progress similar group care into their own practice.
