Centering in times of the Covid-19 pandemic
article
Reduced antenatal care services and an acute halt to Centeringbased antenatal group care were one of the results of the COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands. The pandemic and the subsequent reduction in antenatal services gave rise to anxiety and stress in pregnant women, increasing the need for group antenatal care more than ever. Throughout the country both women and midwives initiated online alternatives for existing group care meetings. The Centering Foundation Netherlands and TNO, the Dutch institute for applied research, took the lead and developed a standardised Centering-based antenatal group care method online and live with physical distancing.
