Prenatal Care
Choose prenatal care at a CHA Obstetrics and Gynecology Center (Cambridge, Revere, Somerville), the Cambridge Birth Center (see below) or at several CHA primary care centers.
McGovern Maternity Suite, CHA Cambridge Hospital
The Maternity Suite and Level I nursery at CHA Cambridge Hospital provide tender and thoughtful care during labor, delivery and your postpartum stay. Your nurses will support you through your labor and recovery using their wealth of knowledge and experience. Each of our large rooms has a Jacuzzi tub and TV, and many have views of downtown Boston. You’ll have access to our 24-hour Anesthesia Service. And your new baby will be in good hands with our 24-hour Pediatrics team from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Come See For Yourself
Meet our caring staff and visit the McGovern Maternity Suite. Tours are given the first and third Wednesday of every month (except the day before Thanksgiving) at 6:00 p.m. Learn what to expect before you come to the hospital to deliver your baby.
To protect our new parents and newborns, tours and Meet the Docs nights are temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
CHA Cambridge Birth Center
Have your baby with our amazing Midwives
The Cambridge Birth Center is an intimate, warm, home-like setting right across the street from the hospital. That's why so many women with a low risk pregnancy see us as a great choice.
During these unprecedented times, and in order to best protect our new families, we are temporarily relocating all deliveries to the McGovern Maternity Suite at CHA Cambridge Hospital. The Birth Center is open for office visits by appointment only. Please call 617-665-2229 to confirm your upcoming appointments.
Why Choose the Cambridge Birth Center?
- Comfort: Our rooms give you what you need during your birth experience including jacuzzi bathtubs, a family room, kitchen, living room, garden and elevator. You can get all your prenatal care in our exam rooms and access our child’s play area.
- Movement: During your labor, you will have the freedom to move about the home, including in the garden.
- Warmth: Choosing the Cambridge Birth Center means you choose to give birth with a midwife. Your midwife will understand your personal needs and provide the caring touch that puts you at the center of your childbirth experience.
- Welcoming: Your midwife will include your family as much as you want.
- We are a Baby Friendly Facility based on the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nation Children's Fund (UNICEF) guidelines.
