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.
CHA is committed to maternal health equity and is renovating the CHA Birth Center. Construction is underway to update the three birthing rooms to ensure a welcoming and comfortable environment for patients and families. To improve equity and outcomes, CHA is working with community groups to develop education and outreach strategies for underserved communities to raise awareness about the benefits of midwifery and birth center care. Check back later this year for additional updates.
All midwifery deliveries are temporarily relocated to the McGovern Maternity Suite at CHA Cambridge Hospital. Starting on March 11, while the Cambridge Birth Center is under renovation, all midwifery prenatal visits will be seen elsewhere. Please call 617-665-2229 to confirm your upcoming appointments.
When we reopen, 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.
