Labor and delivery (department):
Área de trabajo de parto y alumbramiento.
or
Área de trabajo de parto y expulsión.
The name depends on the country.
Hello JT. The anwers you have been getting show the importance of context: are you referring to labor and/or delivery, the actions involved in birth, or to the area of the hospital designated for that purpose?
Here are some possible definitions, compiling the answers you already got:
Labor: Trabajo de Parto
Delivery: Parto / Dar a Luz
Labor / Delivery Area of the hospital: Maternidad (the Hospital wing), Sala de Parto (Delivey Room), Sala de Trabajo or Sala de Pre-parto (Labor Room).
Hmmm, maternidad?
Sala de partos?
Parto might be another possibility as it seems to refer to both labor and delivery (dar la luz). Partera (midwife).
