A Group sessions begin at 12 to 16 weeks of gestation and end with an early
postpartum visit. Prior to group sessions, the patient has an individual
assessment, physical examination, and history.
B At the beginning of each group meeting, patients measure their own BP, weight,
and urine dips and enter these in their record. Fetal heart rate assessment and
fundal height are obtained by the nurse.
C Gestational age cohorts comprise the groups, with approximately 8 to 12 women
in each group. This group remains intact throughout the pregnancy. Individual
follow-up visits are scheduled as needed.
D Results evaluating this approach have been very promising. In a recent study of
adolescent patients, there was a decrease in LBW infants and an increase in
breastfeeding rates.
