Pregnancy and Planning

Your plan. Our promise.

It’s your pregnancy; shouldn’t you be the one in control? After all of the thought that goes into growing your family, you can count on Community Health Network to collaborate with you and respect your plan — or smoothly pivot should the need arise.

We promise to empower you to make the informed decisions that are right for you and your baby: choosing the right physician or midwife, the perfect atmosphere for your maternity suite, your preferred labor position, and much more.

Questions about visitor guidelines or COVID-19?

Read our blog, COVID-19: What Pregnant Women Need to Know, for answers to questions about your delivery plan, visitor guidelines, and newborn care. If you have questions about your upcoming delivery, please call your provider’s office.

Virtual Perinatal Support Groups

Having a baby is a joyous occasion, but it doesn’t always feel like it. You’ve probably heard the term “postpartum depression” — more accurately called perinatal depression and anxiety — but you might not realize how common it is. At least one in seven new moms will experience the condition, and 60% of the time it starts before or during pregnancy.

A great way to get support is to talk to people just like you. Our Virtual Perinatal Support Groups meet once a week for about 45 minutes, and offer you a chance to meet other new moms who are also struggling with mood changes or the transition to parenthood.

Sessions are free to attend, even if you aren’t a Community patient. You don’t even have to worry about registering — just email us at bhintegration@eCommunity.com for details on how to join:

Tuesdays at 11 a.m., hosted by Amber Smith, LCSW

  • Pregnant and postpartum women welcome
  • For more information: 317-621-7998

You don’t have to face it alone. No matter where you live or where you get care, we hope you’ll join us!
