Feedback
A Group sessions begin at 12 to 16 weeks of gestation and end with an early post-partum visit. Before group sessions the patient has an individual assessment, physical examination, and history.
B At the beginning of each group meeting, patients measure their own blood pres-sure, weight, and urine dips and enter these in their record. Fetal heart rate as-sessment 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 low-birth-weight infants and an in-crease in breastfeeding rates.
