Maternity care in Manchester, New Hampshire
Your journey to parenthood starts here
At Catholic Medical Center, we believe your journey to parenthood begins long before your first contraction. Experience matters — and our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Our obstetricians, certified nurse-midwives and nurses are dedicated to providing expert, individualized care throughout your pregnancy, labor and delivery. We encourage you to ask questions, seek support and share your needs — before, during and after your birth experience.
The Mom's Place — A Place for Families
At Catholic Medical Center, The Mom's Place is a family-centered birth center where you and your baby receive compassionate care and a personal birth experience. From the moment of birth, your baby stays with you — encouraging immediate skin-to-skin bonding and rooming-in with you and your support person. Our birthing suites are thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind, offering a private, welcoming space before, during and after delivery.
NICU & Family Suites
At Catholic Medical Center, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) & Family Suites provide compassionate, expert care for newborns as early as 30 weeks in a warm, family-centered environment. Designed to meet the unique needs of premature infants, the NICU follows a family integrated care model — allowing parents to room with their baby 24/7 and take an active role in care from day one. This approach fosters bonding and attachment, beginning immediately after birth and continuing through the NICU stay and transition home.
