Welcome to the Birthplace
One of Portland, Maine's leading birthing centers, The Birthplace at Mercy Hospital is a place where families experience one of life's most joyous occasions. Birth, as it was meant to be: full of warmth and comfort, in a supportive, intimate environment.

Complete peace of mind for you, your baby and your family
The nursing staff, physicians and nurse midwives of The Birthplace are pioneers in maternity care and family-centered deliveries. We believe in working with you to create a birthing experience that reflects your personal style:

• Have your baby delivered by your family practitioner, an obstetrician or a midwife.
• Involve family members as labor coaches.
• Choose from a variety of birthing options.

We're with you every step of the way
We also believe in helping you and your family through the entire process, to make it as easy and enriching an experience as possible. We've developed a series of childbirth education classes to help you to understand and enjoy your pregnancy, at every stage:

• Prenatal care
• Labor and delivery
• Birthing options
• Breastfeeding
• Newborn healthcare

Discover The Birthplace at Mercy - where miracles happen every day at the heart of healing.
