From the time you discover that you're pregnant through the weeks after the
birth of your baby, the Center for Mothers and Newborns at UCSF Medical Center
offers services and care to ensure that you have the healthiest pregnancy and
delivery possible.
The center — world-renowned for its contributions to women's health and
obstetrics — provides expert prenatal care. Our team includes high-risk pregnancy
specialists, obstetricians, family practice doctors, certified nurse midwives and nurse
practitioners. You can choose to receive your prenatal care at one of our three
UCSF Women's Health locations at Parnassus, Mount Zion
and Serramonte. 
Our Great Expectations Pregnancy program, part of our Women's Health Resource Center, is a
resource to help you prepare for the birth of your baby. Women — who are
pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding — can access a variety of
resources on topics ranging from conception to birth to breastfeeding to
parenting. The program also offers 11 different classes for pregnant women,
including labor and birth preparation, baby care and parenting. Sign up for a class

At our Mount Zion and Parnassus locations, we offer Pregnancy Centering,
which provides prenatal and postparum care in a group setting. Learn more about
the Pregnancy Centering Program.
The Women's Health Resource Center maintains a lending library with more than
2,000 books and films on all aspects of pregnancy.
