Description: Midwife-led group antenatal care and education is where women have pregnancy check-ups, and childbirth and parenting education in groups of about ten women at the same stage of pregnancy, instead of individual check-ups and separate childbirth education. We don’t know if it is effective or if it causes harm, so we will test if the midwife-led group care (compared to having individual appointments) improves outcomes for mothers and babies such as fewer caesarean births and more healthy babies.
