Services

Womancare Midwifery offers individualized prenatal care and true informed choice. Our prenatal visits are scheduled to last about an hour in the comforts of your own home or at the Sandpoint birth center. We can perform Unity Genetic NIPS after any needed obstetric labs, pregnancy tests and offer Sneak Peak early gender DNA testing after 8 weeks. We usually see you for an initial visit between 10-12 weeks and every month there after until 32 weeks. Then we see you at 34 & 36 weeks and every week after that until delivery.​​

Early bedside ultrasounds at the birth center are available for cash pay. Coeur d’Alene ultrasound and Selkirk Diagnostics also accept cash pay for early ultrasound and diagnostic anatomy scans between 20 and 22 weeks. Insurance will pay for hospital based ultrasound at Bonner General and or Boundary Community Hospital.

Placenta encapsulation is also a service we provide for a small fee. We prefer to dehydrate your placenta raw to preserve all the vital nutrients needed for your postpartum recovery. We incorporate warming herbs like ginger and cayenne for added benefit during the blending process and encapsulate with 00 gelatin capsules. The average placenta will yield between 150-200 capsules. This is a must if you suffer any kind of baby blues or postpartum depression.

We provide 24/7 on-call support for your birth beginning at 37 weeks through 42 complete weeks. Early labor support and continuous active labor support to the birth of your baby is our heart. Your birth team will often consist of three skilled birth workers, another midwife, a student or a doula trained assistant to provide the best hands-on care and comfort measures. After birth we stay as long as you need us and/or both mom & baby are stable. We perform a complete head to toe newborn exam and ensure any breastfeeding needs are met before clean up and departing.
