You may be surprised to hear that our midwives can also provide you with family planning options and STD testing here at The Birth Center. We offer all of the same gynecological care that you would expect from an OBGYN, just in a relaxed, home like setting. We are Missoula’s most experienced Certified Nurse Midwives, and we are here to make women’s health care a positive experience for you.
Birth Control
Birth Control is not just hormonal anymore. There are several non hormonal options to choose from.
We can provide you with all the information you need to educate yourself, including non hormonal and natural family planning techniques.
We will ask you various questions about your health and lifestyle to help determine which options may be better suited to your needs. If you’ve been researching but still don’t feel like you know which contraceptive choice one is the right one for you, we can help make the decision-making process easier.
STD Testing
It is important for people who are sexually active to get tested for STDs regularly. Of course, we understand that getting tested can be stressful. We will talk you through the process to help you feel knowledgable and confident. We want you to know that all medical information is confidential. We take your health and confidentiality seriously.
We want our patients to feel at ease about their sexual health and to be able to ask any questions they may have about STDs. We are a judgement-free zone, and no topic is off limits.
STDs can also pose serious risk to your unborn baby. Turning to a
midwife who fully understands all aspects of a woman’s health, from
preconception counseling to postnatal care, means that you’ll get
the comprehensive testing you need, as well as any necessary
treatment, to ensure the health of both you and your baby.
