Wow, what incredible outcomes!

"Among women in group prenatal care, 5.7 percent gave birth before 37 weeks, compared with a 13.2 percent rate for those who had typical prenatal visits. And 81 percent of the CenteringPregnancy moms were breastfeeding their babies when they left the hospital, compared with the 67 percent rate among non-participating mothers."
