Prenatal and postnatal care
From the very first days of your pregnancy, until your baby turns one year old, you can count on our care and dedication. Together, we try to make both the pre- and postnatal period as peaceful and comfortable as possible.
During your pregnancy, we follow your health and well-being closely, always in collaboration with your medical doctor or gynecologist. During each consultation, we monitor your and your babies well-being, we evaluate the growth of your child and detect any complications early stages. Of course, there is always room to discuss all your questions and concerns.
When you return home after the birth of your child, we will come to your home within 24 hours.
This happens daily until 5 days after the birth of your baby, as well as around day 10. We plan a consultation in the practice at three weeks and six weeks after birth. Afterwards we look at where your needs and wishes lie.
We look back on how the birth went, support you with breast (or bottle) feeding, and keep a close eye on your overall well-being. At the same time, the development of your child is also closely monitored.

Care takes time. By confirming your care package, we can take into account and make sufficient time available for the care you deserve.

We are in close contact with the medical team that will monitor you and ensure a multidisciplinary approach.

An urgent question? You can reach your own midwife between 9 am and 6 pm. After 6 p.m. you can always consult the midwives in the delivery room or maternity (of the hospital where you are going to give birth or have given birth). We can be reached by telephone and via WhatsApp, not via SMS.

During holidays or weekends, your midwife can give you the telephone number of a colleague. She will make agreements about this with you if applicable.
