Maternity Care
From your first prenatal care appointment through your first months as a new mom, your UNM Health provider will guide and support you. Choose a board-certified obstetrician, a certified nurse-midwife or a board-certified family medicine doctor to provide compassionate care as you prepare for childbirth.
Your Personalized Birth Experience
Whether you want to experience natural childbirth or focus on mother-baby bonding, we will support
your birth plan. Your delivery team will be ready in an instant if you or your baby need advanced medical care.
UNM Hospital is the only Level 4 maternity hospital in New Mexico, and one of the few centers in the state that can provide care for even the most complex pregnancies.
When you are ready for delivery at University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH), take advantage of low-tech ways to help facilitate labor and make you more comfortable – such as getting into different positions and using inflatable birthing balls.
You will also have access to advanced technology and medical care if you or your baby needs them to stay safe and healthy.
