Group Prenatal Care

Invest In The Future Of Your Baby's Health

Group prenatal care is an alternative model of prenatal care bringing pregnant people together for small group sessions during pregnancy to receive extra support, education, and more time with their provider.

During group prenatal care, there is no wait time for appointments, and patients have time to discuss questions and concerns about pregnancy, birth, newborn care, breastfeeding, cultural traditions and more.

Group prenatal care fosters a supportive community of peers, healthcare providers, and local experts.

The classes also emphasize food, covering topics such as nutrition and incorporating cultural ingredients.

In Families First Group Prenatal Care

Pregnant people meet together throughout pregnancy to receive their individual health assessments one on one with a provider, and stay for group activities and discussions about pregnancy, birth, newborn care, postpartum care, and more. Because these visits replace most traditional prenatal care appointments there is no wait time for appointments, and extra time is dedicated to education and discussion about common concerns in pregnancy and postpartum.

Prenatal-Care-Checkup

Individual health assessment includes monitoring vital signs, baby's heartbeat, and a private exam & discussion with their provider.

Group participates complete activities and talk about topics to prepare parents for their pregnancy journey through birth, postpartum, and a new baby.  Guest speakers may join sessions to share expertise and resources for common pregnancy concerns.
