Looking for a unique experience during pregnancy? Kootenai Clinic OBGYN¡¯s team of midwives offers a new way to complete your prenatal care. In traditional prenatal care, patients come in for brief, individual visits to discuss their pregnancy and we develop one-on-one relationships. However, we believe that a woman and her family can greatly benefit from creating a community of like-minded families as they embark on one of the most important seasons of life.
This community approach to prenatal care provides families a supportive team of midwives and other moms with whom they can share difficulties and triumphs as they welcome a new child into the world.
