Services
Breast milk gives your baby a healthy start. It has all the right nutrients, at the right temperature, and protects your baby's health. Our IBCLC certified lactation consultants can help you and your baby have a successful experience. Skin-to-skin contact is important for all babies and mothers. The CDC and World Health Organization recommend holding your baby skin-to-skin for 30 minutes shortly after birth.
Most births happen without any complications. But our Level II Special Care Nursery is down the hall from The Birth Place, just in case. We care for babies with many different challenges, such as infections, birth defects, and most commonly, prematurity. Some of our babies are as small as 3 pounds or as young as 32 weeks.
We invite you to join us for a tour of The Birth Place. Learn about our family-friendly amenities, spacious private birthing suites, specialized staff and services that will make your birthing experience comforting and personal. Whether you are a parent-to-be or planning for a future pregnancy, we look forward to meeting you.

Regarding my birth experience I would say that I had a mixed experience at the birth place. My water broke when I was 38 weeks 6 days. I wanted to try for vbac which everybody supported and were extremely helpful. But even after trying for 24hours when I wasn’t dilated enough and my baby was at distress I went for a c-section. I had every help and support from my doctors and nurses. And I would say that everyone of them are just awesome. I would have given 5stars but the reason for me giving 4stars is their postpartum care.
Postpartum care is just the opposite. Not enough support and help. Especially

This is a complaint, I guess, mostly directed at one provider. I was transferred to a different hospital before delivery so my experience is mostly limited to her.
The first time I called to ask about the contractions she was not nice. She told me to call back in an hour if drinking a bunch of water didn't make "the crampiness or contractions or whatever you want to call them" go away. I didn't feel better in an hour but her dismissive attitude prevented me from calling back. I did feel better the next day.
The contractions started again later that week. I laid in bed all morning drinking so

We had our son Torin here last week and everyone was beyond incredible. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left everyone made sure we had what we needed and always offered more. The nurses in the birth place really care and helped me in every single way they could. My son had to be in the special care nursery and I can’t say enough about his nurses as well. His night nurse Jennifer (I believe her name was) made leaving him easier because I knew he would be well looked after. Jennifer would call me every few hours to go and feed him so I could sleep but also bond with him when he was

I have nothing but good things to say about the birth place. I switched to Nashua after a horrible experience at cmc. From the moment I got there I was very comfortable even though it was during this global pandemic. They allowed my husband to come up with me right away because I was very anxious. I had many complications and every one was handled calmly and I did not feel scared at all. My pain was handled excellent it made for a wonderful birth experience. All the nurses treated me delicately, with the utmost kindness. Each new nurse coming in I was a little nervous and everytime they were nice

FANTASTIC experience! The Birthing Place team is truly incredible! Southern NH Birth Place in Nashua is an AWESOME mom and baby friendly place.
We attempted to research cesarean and episiotomy rates before our visit (which very much seem to be a thing of the past) and the lack of information available made us a little nervous. However, the lack of released information has NOTHING to do with the fantastic quality care.
The Birthing Place not only supported everything we talked to them about, often they led the conversation before we did on things like delayed cord clamping, epidural, skin to skin

From start to finish I have nothing but positive things to say about The Birth Place. I had my son on Saturday (11/28) and I felt like I was amoung family. The nurses and doctors were incredible and made me feel so comfortable. The 2 main nurses that I had were Morgan and Ashley. They were absolutely fabulous. I can definitely tell that they love their job. Morgan was there throughout my entire labor and delivery process and she was so caring and comforting. It was like I was going through the process with a friend. I highly recommend going through The Birth Place for the birth of your child. It

As a first time mom I was not sure what to expect. However, I felt extremely attended to and supported through the whole process. I had a difficult labor and a nurse and midwife were there to give encouragement and exercises to relieve pain. Jessica and Fidelma are awesome! They always told me my options first before going ahead and doing something. Jessica is an amazing nurse and Fidelma an awesome midwife; they made my experience as best as they could through my rough labor. I felt comforted and Knew my baby would be in good hands through labor. I loved the doctor who delivered my son, Dr. Kotlor

There are no words to thank the birth place enough for their attentive care. My sons birth had some complications and the doctor as well as nurses and specialist all handled beyond my expectations. After being dismissed I went home for one night and then began having major chest pains. after reviewing the sheet they explained at discharge I knew I needed to go back. I admitted myself into ER. As soon as I was admitted the birth place received word that I had extremely high blood pressure and they immediately admitted me back into their care where they began meds and placed me next to doctors station

I gave birth to my daughter here and it was beautiful. The staff are absolutely amazing. Erin was my nurse for the majority of my stay here and she was an angel! I had so much support from everyone and they were so accommodating as well. If you want to feel like a movie Star after you give birth- do it here. It’s clean, updated and did I mention how wonderful the staff is yet? All the doctors, midwives, and most especially-nurses are the kindest, most genuine, heartfelt, thoughtful and dedicated individuals. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience or more Appreciate of the way I was
