Special Delivery Family Birthing Center

The Special Delivery Family Birthing Center at Central Maine Medical Center combines the best of delivery care with the comforts of home. Families can enjoy the warm, cozy setting we have created for moms, their newborns and their loved ones. Our birthing rooms are designed to enhance privacy and comfort. We include amenities such as labor tubs, which help ease Mom through her labor. Meals are delivered to family visitors, as they await the arrival of their newest member. We encourage the birthing partner or another family member to stay overnight, if they like.

It’s comforting for families to know that should any problems arise, the Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit is nearby. It is one of only three such facilities in Maine.

The Special Delivery staff believes that the most rewarding birth experiences are enjoyed by families who are physically, emotionally and educationally prepared. Doctors and midwives at CMMC work closely with nurses and childbirth educators to create educational programs to help new parents understand pregnancy, labor and birth, and caring for a new baby.
