labor room

Where babies arrive

A labor room is the hospital room where a woman gives birth.

It's equipped for delivery and immediate postpartum care.

In many hospitals, labor rooms have been replaced by birthing suites that combine labor, delivery, and recovery in one space: She was moved to the labor room when contractions intensified.
