妇产科医院的前身西门妇孺医院是一所美国基督教会主办的教会医院。1884年6月由美国人玛格丽特.威廉逊（Margaret.Willianson）女士捐款5000美元，在上海西门外租房两间，创办门诊部，规模很小。为纪念威廉逊女士便将医院命名玛格丽特.威廉逊医院，中文名为“上海西门妇孺医院”，此为沪上首家妇孺医院。后由美籍女医师爱.罗夫奈德（Elizabeth Reifanyder）发扬光大。1952年1月，为了教学医疗之需要, 以上海西门妇孺医院为主体，将红十字会第一医院（今华山医院）的妇产科及中山医院的妇产科合并为上海医学院妇产科学院.同年7月，由华东军政委员会卫生部接管。1985年更名上海医科大学附属妇产科医院.1992年批准成为上海市红十字妇产科医院，同年被卫生部、世界卫生组织联合国儿童基金会首批命名为”爱婴医院”,1995年获三级甲等专科医院称号.2000年4月更名复旦大学附属妇产科医院. 2003年5月上海市卫生局批准上海市红房子妇产科医院为医院的第二冠名。
新中国成立以来，妇产科医院得到极大发展与进步。建国初，医院床位268张，职工245名，年门诊量63135人次,住院病人5151人次。至2003年12月统计,病床370张,医院有职工663名，其中正副教授52名名，年门诊量389278人次，年住院病人11748人次；现在医院占地面积1.2万平方米，建筑面积2.1万平方米；固定资产3250多万元；万元以上设备195台，其中包括全套妇科内窥镜、自动生化分析仪、三维彩色多普勒诊断仪、超声骨密度仪、800毫安西门子X光机、电视腹腔镜等医疗仪器设备。
妇产科医院集医、教、研于一体，坚持科学管理，从严治院，医疗水平不断提高，成了一批优势学科。现设有妇科、产科、计划生育、中西医结合、新生儿科、ICU等十个病房;除普通门诊外，还设有围产医学、内分泌遗传、肿瘤、不孕不育、活血化淤、绝经期、宫颈门诊、性病诊治、疑难杂症会诊门诊、乳房疾病门诊等专科特色门诊;有个中心:上海市中西医结合月经病诊疗中心、上海市女性生殖内分泌疾病诊疗中心;一个研究所。1994年电视腹腔镜手术达到免气腹腔镜全子宫切除水平, 1996年多囊卵巢术后恢复排卵率达97%,受孕率92%,输卵管伞端形成术,术后受孕率达80%以上,盆腔内膜异位症术后受孕率70-90%。1998年产科建立”导乐”分娩室，2000年开展无痛人流、术后镇痛项目,建立麻醉复苏室,成立著名专家领衔的诊治小组,满足病人选择医院、医师、手术的特殊需求。
教书育人，成绩卓著。医院每年要完成300余名本科生妇产科学讲学、示教、实习，接受来自全国60余名进修医生的培养任务，每年举办多期全国性短期学术进修班，普及推广妇产科学新知识、新技术。1978年以来承担培养研究生任务。
医院是全国高等医学院校统一教材《妇产科学》的主编单位，许多高年资教授在全国性、地方性杂志任顾问、编委、委员等。
医学科研，硕果累累。医院有一支由专职科研人员和广大临床医生组成的科研队伍。近年来全院共获得各级科研成果奖23项.宫颈癌早期诊断与治疗的研究、妊高征的研究、国产GHRH及其类似物在妇产科领域应用的研究达国际水平。1995年医院成功地诞生了华东地区第一例试管婴儿，该项成果获1995年上海市临床医学二等奖；1998年医院与美国遗传与实验生物研究所合作建立中美合作上海集爱遗传与不育诊疗中心，在单精子穿刺、冷冻胚胎、睾丸穿刺取精术技术上突破难关,使助孕成功率达40%以上。
医院注重与国外开展科技合作与人才学术交流，不仅请国外专家学者前来讲学、授技、合作科研，还专门设立王淑贞基金会，选送优秀人才出国考察、访问讲学、参加学术会议。学者们学成归来，极大地促进了各学科专业和临床技术的进步和发展。先后由德、英、美、保加利亚等国派学者来院学习中西医结合。
医院历史悠久，学术基础雄厚。老院长王淑贞教授是中国妇产科学奠基人之一，素有南王（淑贞）北林（巧稚）之称，其学术成就享誉海内外。在她的培养下，医院人才辈出，成为鼎足妇产科界的著名专家。由于他们具有良好的医德、高超的医疗水平，悬壶济世，救死扶伤，医院声誉日益提高，深受老百姓爱戴和信赖，被亲切地称为“红房子医院”，流传至今。
随着我国经济形势的不断发展和医疗卫生改革的不断深化，为医院发展提供了良好契机，全院职工正在为建设现代化的妇产科医院而奋斗。今日的妇产科医院，犹如百年老树吐新芽，焕发出无限生机
