Centering Prenatal Appointments
Harvard Vanguard is pleased to offer Centering Prenatal Appointments based on the nationally-recognized model, CenteringPregnancy®. There are a total of 8 appointments over the course of your second and third trimester. Each appointment begins with your regular, private prenatal check-up, and then you meet with other pregnant women for a 60-90 minute discussion that is educational, supportive, and most importantly, fun!
The benefits are many:
- Share ideas and learn from other expecting mothers with similar due dates
- Have ample time to get answers to your questions in a relaxed environment
- Discuss various subjects about childbirth, breastfeeding, parenting, and much more
- Partners, husbands, or other support people are welcome
- Appointments start and end on time
- No extra cost
- Additional, individual visits can be scheduled with your doctor as needed
Centering prenatal appointments are available at our Chelmsford, Copley, Kenmore, Somerville, and Wellesley locations.
