Boston Baby Beginnings is happy to offer free tours to registered patients delivering at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The tour includes a visit to both Labor & Delivery and the Postpartum Unit and is recommended between 26-36 weeks of pregnancy. For your convenience, you may view the BIDMC Maternity Units in the comforts of your own home at http://bidmc.org/obgyn (click on the teddy bear).
For the safety of the current patients, BIDMC requires anyone entering the unit(s) be accompanied by a tour guide specialist. With this in mind, please review the following information before scheduling your hospital tour:
- Anyone arriving late will need to reschedule
- It is recommended you tour the unit AFTER you have completed your Childbirth class(es)
- If the Labor & Delivery Unit is full, you will tour the Postpartum unit only
- The main objective of the tour is to provide basic information about the units themselves. All medical questions must be addressed by your Obstetrician
- Future patients are welcome on the units during tour hours only, private tours are not permitted
Rescheduling: To reschedule a tour, please email:
