Pregnancy & Birth
Also known as Maternity & Obstetrics
Expert Pregnancy Care
The specialists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) are here for you during every phase of pregnancy and birth. Our obstetricians (pregnancy doctors) work with you and your partner to address a broad range of maternity care needs — from preconception to post-delivery. We care for routine and high-risk pregnancies.
Our providers offer you patient-focused care ranging from natural childbirth with minimal medical intervention to the management of high-risk pregnancies. High-risk pregnancies include pregnant patients living with diabetes, hypertension, or multiple-birth pregnancies. Our experts are here to support you throughout all aspects of your pregnancy, delivery, and life with your new baby.
We have earned a U.S. News & World Report designation for high performance in maternity care. At BIDMC, you can expect an experience that meets the highest standards for safety and quality.
More About Pregnancy & Birth

We provide ongoing care for you and your baby in the hospital after birth.
