MATERNITY SERVICES

Childbirth is one of the most exciting and important events in your life. At Cambridge Health Alliance, we make sure women and their families have the support and expertise of our physicians, physician assistants, midwives, nurses, and nurse practitioners to make childbirth safe, special and memorable.

Families who use Cambridge Health Alliance have the luxury of two options. Some choose to deliver at our state-of-the-art expanded maternity suite; others prefer a more homelike experience, at our stand-alone Birth Center. Whichever option you choose, your health and the health of your baby is in good hands.

SPECIALTY SERVICES for expecting women:

Pediatrics
Physicians from our Harvard Medical School affiliated Pediatrics Department work very closely with the teams at the Maternity Suite and the Birth Center to care for newborns after childbirth. Click here to learn more about our Pediatrics Department.

Maternal Fetal Medicine
Maternal-Fetal Medicine services
, from our affiliated Tufts-New England Medical Center, are available for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies. These specialists look at the health of the mother and the unborn child simultaneously to reduce risk factors. Also, on site genetic counseling and prenatal diagnostics are available.

Doulas
Doulas are women trained to help, support, encourage and accompany women during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum, much like a mother or sister would. A woman and her baby can feel secure knowing that our doulas can help to make their birth experience a positive one. We have 17 doulas who speak 10 languages combined. These caring women help make a difference in the lives of mothers and their babies during a very joyous yet challenging time. To learn more about Doulas, click here.
