Controversial plans to centralise specialist maternity care in west Wales come into effect on Monday.
Hywel Dda University Health Board is implementing the change, which involves moving care for complex births from Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen.
The changes sparked protests against the health board.
However, it claims the units will provide a homely and relaxed atmosphere for expectant mothers.
New facilities were created after it was announced consultant-led services at Withybush Hospital would close.
From Monday, midwife-led units will operate at both hospitals.
