Parents across the country are saying the same thing: they don’t feel supported.
A new survey of more than 2,300 women found that many entered pregnancy without the information they needed, struggled to get help after birth and felt forgotten once the baby arrived. Nearly 9 in 10 didn’t know cervical checks aren’t required. Two in three felt ignored after delivery. More than half faced postpartum mental health issues with little or no support.
Parents are calling for more time with clinicians, better education and real emotional support.
CenteringPregnancy creates that space. Longer visits, shared learning and trusted relationships help expectant parents feel informed and supported through every stage.
