Group Prenatal Care

An in-depth, interactive approach to prenatal care at Cooley Dickinson OBGYN & Midwifery

Group starts when folks are between 20-26 weeks and finishes when they are 32-38 weeks pregnant. Each session includes belly checks with a provider, followed by activities, facilitated discussions, and time for questions.

Why Group Prenatal Care?

• Evening sessions to accommodate work schedules
• Two-hour sessions that start and end promptly
• Group sessions replace individual prenatal appointments while the session is running
• Insurance pays, just like all other prenatal appointments
• Get to know other expectant parents
• Create a support network for pregnancy and beyond
• Connect with your partner around this pregnancy
• Opportunities to share and discuss pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting
• Meet with the same provider each night
