labour

Good preparation is half the battle. That statement may not apply to childbirth, but knowing what to expect helps! That is why we take the time during pregnancy to discuss and prepare for the birth. If you want to read it all again, you can find the most important information under this heading.

At home or in hospital, you decide! During pregnancy, it is good to think about where you want to give birth.

In the postpartum period, you are probably not reading information on our website. In fact, we simply advise against that! The postpartum period is the time to ask questions directly to us or to the 'kraamzorg'. If you want to prepare yourself for what is to come, read on. Again, this is general information. So keep in mind that it is not the same for everyone

Check-ups

During your pregnancy, you will come for check-ups several times. In the beginning about every 4-6 weeks, but more or less often depending on your needs. In the course of your pregnancy, we will see you more often. Below is the appointment schedule.

Intake

At the first appointment, usually around week 8-10 of your pregnancy, we have an intake meeting of about an hour. During this meeting, we get acquainted and discuss your health, family background and any other issues relevant to the pregnancy. We are happy to answer all your questions and provide the necessary information.

Other check-ups

The follow-up appointments are often shorter than the intake. Here we also look at where your needs lie. At each appointment, we measure your blood pressure and monitor the baby's growth. Between weeks 30-34 we usually schedule an appointment to discuss the birth process and your wishes.

Return schedule

0-24wk: every 4-6wk
From 24wk: every 3wk
From 32wk: every 2wk
From 36wk: every week

This schedule is a general one, but of course everyone is different and together we will see where your needs lie.
