A maternity ward was a special section of a hospital devoted to obstetrics. In response to the rapid reproduction of overfed tribbles in 2268, James T. Kirk jokingly suggested that Leonard McCoy open up a maternity ward. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles" ) The USS Enterprise-D had a section of sickbay devoted to this purpose. When Deanna Troi began going into labour with her "son" Ian in 2365, Doctor Katherine Pulaski told her they would head to maternity. (TNG: "The Child" )

- The maternity ward is the department of the hospital that is dedicated to the care of women who are about to give birth as well as their newborn infants. It generally consists of:
* Rooms for women in labor, which can be equipped with vital signs monitors for both the mother and the fetus, which can also be used for post-natal recovery
* Sterile birthing rooms, for delivery of the baby, which can accommodate a delivery team of an obstetrician and nurses.
* The neo-natal intensive care unit or NICU, for treatment of premature infants and full term newborns in distress
* An obstetrical surgery unit, usually for performing a cesearean section
* A lounge reserved for the obstetricians.
