The mother-to-be went into labour at home, after clicking "give birth at hospital" I checked who should accompany her there. At the hospital I let them check in at front desk, then nothing happened. Random interactions with other patients and doctors/nurses ( who where only standing around, not working) are occuring (for example she nearly started a fight) but no birth happening. After a few in game hours, the mother to be resets the option "give birth in hospital" but even though I tried multiple times, she left after nearly 36 hrs to give birth at home.

Is this an existing (pre-patch) game you're playing ?

If so, was the Sim pregnant before you patched ?

I had a similar problem. Pregnant male sim. The problem appeared to be that there was no Doctor at the hospital. Waited all day then traveled home using the map. Clicked on sim and chose "Have Baby at Hospital." When we arrived back at the Hspt the second time there was a Doctor waiting at the surgery machine and my sim went directly to have his baby.
This is with a brand new Save folder and a brand new sim in a brand new game created just to give GTW a try out.

Well for me there wasn't a doctor around either so the nurse did it.

Were there no employees for you at all ?

When my sim arrived, there was a sim at the check in desk who immediately left. Another sim arrived and took that role, but that's when everything seemed to come to a halt. More Patients arrived, but no other employees. I tried using the Sim menu to send my sim home, but the action cancelled. When I used the Map ("M" key) to have him travel home and then sent him back to the hspt, it seemed to start the process where it had broken off during the first visit. Doctor was waiting, other employees were wonderingl around.

This sounds like a symptom of the No Doctor on Duty bug that has been reported in another thread.

@makanimah @Yessja Can you confirm if there was staff at the hospital for you ?

There was a guy at the reception and a possible junior doctor stood in front of the hospital but no doctors inside. I had a male sim give birth to a "special" child at the hospital today and after a short wait a doctor appeared and everything worked as it was supposed to. So, yes I guess that fits to the other bug you mentioned.
