 Centering is a combination of traditional one-on-one individual care with a provider, with the benefit of having a group to share all your experiences and learn from each other. For example, we were a group of eight couples. Most of us were first-time parents, just like us, and some were expecting or preparing for the second born. And then we have one-on-one assessments that are done privately so that we can check on the baby's growth and check on the baby's heartbeat and review the private concerns. But everything that happens in a traditional visit, all the labs, all the ultrasounds, all the care that people get is done in centering. We just do it in greater detail. I felt like we were ahead of other parents, being a part of Centering, getting all our questions answered. They definitely, the facilitators, cater it to what the group wants to learn and wants to hear. We use that whole two hours to get to know each other and to learn everything we can about taking care of ourselves, taking care of the babies, preparing our families for caring for this new baby in the future. Starting from the knowing nothing to the point when we were in the hospital for that special moment, I think we didn't feel anything which is totally foreign or alien. I think the biggest surprise about Centering really has been how much more involved a partner gets. In Centering, they are an integral part of the pregnancy. They really are learning right alongside their partner. They learn from the other partners in the group. It is so fantastic for the relationship beyond just helping these people get through pregnancy. I learned how to swallow a baby, who knows how to do that? And then we all meet up again, about four to six weeks after delivery. So if you want to join Centering, the best way to join it would be to let your provider know or when you're registering for prenatal care, let them know that you're interested in Centering.
