Mothers and Babies

Pregnancy is an amazing experience. One moment you’re full of joy and anticipation, and the next moment you’re concerned about your health and your baby’s well-being. At the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC), we understand. We’re here to help keep you and your baby healthy and safe throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Our experienced team of obstetricians, midwives, and nurse practitioners looks forward to being a part of this exciting time in your life!

EBNHC has a specialized team approach for prenatal care. Over the course of your pregnancy, you will become familiar with our nurses, nurse practitioners, obstetricians, and midwives. By the end of your last trimester, it starts to feel like you’re in our office all the time! So we want you to feel comfortable here. You may even end up feeling like one of the family. We hope so.

EBNHC partners with Boston Medical Center (BMC) for the care of our expectant patients. All of our obstetricians and midwives practice at BMC as well as EBNHC. With this partnership, you receive your regular prenatal checkups at EBNHC, and visit BMC for your ultrasounds and for labor and delivery. At BMC we also have genetic counseling, consultation for high-risk pregnancy, and many other important specialty services to help you and your baby.

  • Pregnancy testing
  • Prenatal and postpartum care
  • Nutrition consultation

The Mother-Baby Unit at Boston Medical Center

Boston Medical Center (BMC) provides high-quality care to you and your baby. We have the expertise to address problems that may occur during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Our focus is on keeping you safe and comfortable regardless of your circumstances.
