Giving Birth: Delivery Choices to Fit Your Family
With two distinct birth settings and a large staff of physicians, midwives and high-risk specialists, UC San Diego Health offers more childbirth options than anywhere else in San Diego.
Labor & Delivery or Birth Center Rooms
Our maternity suites are spacious, with room for the entire family to welcome your new arrival. Families can choose a traditional Labor & Delivery environment at both of our locations or the holistic Birth Center at Jacobs Medical Center. Our Birth Center rooms offer a birth experience with minimal medical intervention, attended by certified nurse-midwives in a hospital setting.
