Expectant moms who participate in group prenatal care rather than individual care appear to reap significant health benefits for both themselves and their babies, according to a new study led by the Yale School of Public Health.

The findings show that young women who received group prenatal care were 33 percent less likely to have babies who were small for gestational age. Furthermore, group-care moms had a lower risk for preterm delivery and low birthweight. Their infants also spent fewer days in the neonatal intensive care unit.
