MaineHealth announced in the spring that it was assessing maternity services at Lincoln Hospital because of low birth rates and staffing challenges.
The lawsuit filed by a pregnant woman alleges that the health care system's review has not been fair or transparent.
Her attorney, Michael Van Der Veen, says that eliminating maternity services is a violation of MaineHealth's legal obligation as a nonprofit that receives state and federal funding.
Maine has lost a third of its birthing hospitals in the past decade.
For NPR News, I'm Patty White in Portland, Maine.
