Abstract

CenteringPregnancy® is an innovative model of group antenatal care devised and developed in the United States. The model differs from traditional care in that women participate in a social, supportive group process, which develops their knowledge and confidence, and increases their personal and maternal self-efficacy. Following initial studies in theUS, the CenteringPregnancy model has been adapted and implemented in a number of studies internationally, with a growing body of evidence of positive results in terms of clinical outcomes, satisfaction with antenatal care, perceived knowledge of issues around pregnancy, birth and parenthood. The background to the development and implementation of the first feasibility study to be conducted in the UK is described. This includes adaptations necessary to comply with national guidance and policy recommendations for NHS maternity care, and midwifery rules and regulations. There is a need for further larger studies to assess if similar positive outcomes could be replicated in the UK maternity settings.
