The Bakermat offers a unique, innovative and successful form of care: Centering Pregnancy. In Centering Pregnancy, you form a group with pregnant women who are about as far pregnant as you are. The meetings replace some of the appointments you would otherwise get at our regular clinic.

We are very excited about this programme, which we have been using in the practice for over 10 years now to offer obstetric care. It covers the 3 main pillars of care: examination, education and support. Time within the group will be used productively! Even if you need extra or different care, you can still join the group meetings.

Why take part in Centering Pregnancy?

• You meet other pregnant women who are about the same stage of pregnancy.
• The group meetings contribute to greater confidence in yourself, your pregnancy, childbirth and your role as mother/father.
• Lots of interesting topics such as pregnancy, healthy living, energy balance, childbirth, feeding the baby and parenthood, among others.
• Appointments are known well in advance for all nine meetings.
• You will have longer contact with the midwife during Centering Pregnancy than during 1-on-1 check-ups. You receive a total of 17 hours more care than with individual midwifery care.
• More personal attention. A midwife can answer questions much better and in depth in 2 hours than in the 15 minutes of a regular appointment.
• There are no extra costs associated with Centering Pregnancy

Interested? During the first appointment at the Bakermat, Centering Pregnancy will be discussed and we can see in which group you could participate.
