Shared Wisdom Group Prenatal Care Fairview Clinics – Riverside Women have always sought advice from each other regarding pregnancy and birth. Now, Shared Wisdom Group Prenatal Care connects you with women due around the same time you are, so you can share tips, learnings and experiences in a supportive setting. What is group care? Group prenatal care is a new model of care for pregnant women and their partners. Six to 12 women who are due in the same calendar month meet regularly with a certified nurse-midwife to have their prenatal visits together. In our Shared Wisdom group, you’ll experience your pregnancy alongside other women in the same stage of pregnancy. Group visits include individual time with the midwife; group discussions about pregnancy, childbirth and fetal development; and guest speakers such as childbirth educators, lactation consultants and pediatricians and more. You’ll participate in your care by taking your own vital signs,learning what lab tests mean and charting your growth. What are the benefits of group care? Having increased face-to-face time with the midwife Learning more about pregnancy and fetal development Meeting and having pregnancy-related conversations with other women and families Experiencing a greater feeling of social support Participating in and guiding your prenatal care What happens during a group visit? When you arrive for the group visit, there's no waiting—you enter directly into the group space and socialize. You'll weigh yourself and take your own blood pressure reading with help from the nurse. You also have 10 minutes alone with the midwife to hear your baby’s heartbeat and address any personal concerns. continued on back Fairview Clinics – Riverside Professional Building 606 24th Ave. S.
