Meet the Doctors Evening

Meet the Doctors provides a chance for "soon-to-be-moms" and their family to talk with providers and staff of the OB/GYN Department. Additionally, patients are given an opportunity to tour the Maternity Suite.

Maternity Unit Tours

We invite you to visit and tour our Maternity Unit. This is an opportunity to become familiar with the unit and more at ease as you learn about what to expect. Also, it's a chance to meet our dedicated delivery staff before your hospital stay.

Childbirth Education

To boost "soon-to-be-parents" confidence that they can safely care for their newborns, we offer a number of classes. To name a few, we offer Eating for Two, New Dad Class, and Breastfeeding 101.

Cambridge Birth Center Orientation Night

The Birth Center hosts orientation nights throughout the year for patients and their families who plan to deliver at the Birth Center. Patients and their families have an opportunity to learn more about the birth center and receive a tour of this beautiful facility.

Centering Pregnancy

Centering Pregnancy is an innovative approach to prenatal care. Patients attend group appointments with other women where they meet with physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, nutritionists and other staff. The group model promotes women helping women through all the changes during pregnancy. These visits are also offered specifically for Spanish and Portuguese speakers.

New Dad Class

New Dads have lots of questions about how to provide the best care to their newborns. Led by a pediatric nurse and lactation consultant, groups discuss newborn care, feeding, bathing, sleeping and other Dad issues.

Multilingual Mother's Support Groups

Mothers and babies are invited to a "drop in" support group that is held weekly by our Doulas. The groups are held in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Hindi and Bengali. In addition, weekly breastfeeding support groups are held by our lactation consultants.
