Maine Birth
Supporting Families in Navigating Birth Care Across Maine
In recent years, several rural hospitals across Maine have closed their labor and delivery units, making it more challenging for families in some regions to access local maternity care. These changes have led many individuals to travel longer distances for hospital births, seek alternatives such as birth centers or home birth, or face uncertainty about available options in their area.
Maine Birth was created in response to this shifting landscape.
Our goal is to provide a clear, reliable, and up-to-date resource for individuals and families to understand what birth care options are available—no matter where they live in the state.
Maternity care access is changing, particularly in rural communities. By making it easier to see what services are available locally—or where the nearest options are—Maine Birth helps families plan for safe, supported care that fits their needs.
Whether you're seeking hospital delivery, considering a birth center, or exploring midwifery-led home birth, our platform gives you the tools to start the conversation, ask the right questions, and connect with qualified providers.
