Charlottesville is a great place to give birth to a child. The two local hospitals, UVA Medical Center and Martha Jefferson Medical Center, both provide delivery services and offer various benefits. UVA is a teaching hospital, so often your child will be delivered by a resident with an attending physician standing close by. Martha Jefferson is a traditional hospital. UVA has more emergency services available if they are needed and has more resources for high-risk deliveries. UVA has separate delivery and recovery rooms. Whichever hospital you choose, both offer birthing classes and other prenatal and post-birth classes for parents and children.
