There are so many options for labor and delivery. Some people want a homebirth, some go to birthing centers, but perhaps the most traditional place to birth a baby is in a hospital delivery room. There are several labor and delivery hospitals in the Albuquerque area to choose from.
Thank you to Lovelace Health System for sponsoring this guide.
Expecting a baby is an exciting and life-changing journey. Lovelace would like to make your experience as memorable and stress-free as possible by helping you navigate your healthcare. No matter your insurance or birthing plan, our Labor of Love program offers you access to no-cost pregnancy perks and assistance finding a provider or insurance.
When it comes time to deliver, you can expect exceptional, comfortable, and convenient care. Throughout labor and delivery at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, new parents stay in one of our private birthing suites. Equipped with the latest technology, each room is designed for a relaxed and comfortable birthing experience.
In the event your baby is born prematurely or needs special care, our state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is here to serve you. Our on-site NICU offers 24/7 skilled medical and nursing staff who care for infants as young as 23 weeks of gestation in a quiet, home-like environment.
We are excited to be part of your prenatal care and delivery so that your experience is as safe, healthy, and pleasant as possible.

Why should I deliver in a hospital?
There are many benefits to a labor and delivery hospital. In case of emergency, a hospital is the safest place to be. A hospital also gives you the freedom to have a natural, unmedicated birth, but also has the options of epidural and pain medicine available. If you are at an increased risk for complications or if your baby is at risk, a hospital labor and delivery unit is recommended.
This is also the most traditional method of delivery. It’s likely where your mom and your mom’s mom delivered. Here are some options for Labor and Delivery Hospitals in the Albuquerque area.
