What I love about our practice is that we all work from the same vision: to help women be their best selves. Essential to this is giving them confidence in themselves.

We value the fact that you can unwind for a while in our practice. Fresh flowers, the latest magazines to read with a nice cup of tea and reading and play opportunities for the little ones. Every week all the names of the newly delivered mothers and their babies come at our mirror. Many pregnant women know each other from the antenatal classes. Taking a look at the mirror is often the first thing pregnant women do when they enter the practice.
Wheelchair users can always receive a home visit by arrangement.
Do you wish to become pregnant? There is may be a lot on your mind. You may succeed immediately, or it turns out that it is not so effortless. At Geboortecentrum Amsterdam you can also get personal advice and support in the process to become pregnant.
In a preconception consultation with you, our midwife will discuss with you what you need to increase the chances and a healthy start of the pregnancy. We can offer various tests and provide a selection of treatments from specialist who are specialized to help you conceive.
When you are pregnant, you will visit us an average of ten times for check-ups. You and your partner are the focus. We adapt our care to your requirements. It is always possible to have an extra check-up whenever you feel the need. We believe in the ability of women to stand in their own power and prefer to provide care in which you feel comfortable.
We ensure that there is always time to check on you and your baby the same day if necessary.
Your birth preferences are important to us. We will do everything possible to facilitate your wishes. The midwives at our midwifery practice are completely focused on supporting you during this process before, during and after childbirth. We incorporate our years of experience.
There is always an experienced midwife from the Birth Center who comes to support you during labor.
We can guarantee this as one of the few practices within Amsterdam, because we work with two teams and back each other up if needed.
Also in the first weeks after giving birth, there is a lot of contact between the midwife and you as parents. We are responsible for you and the baby during the first weeks. Therefore, we will visit you several times. We’ll see how you’re doing, provide information, discuss maternity care checks and, if necessary, help with positioning the baby.
In addition, our emergency line is open 24/7. Many parents like to ask that one last question before they go to sleep.
We schedule an additional consultation to discuss the delivery with you and your partner individually, your personal needs are unique. In preparation for childbirth, we have recorded videos so that you can watch all the information you receive in an information evening about childbirth on your own time together. In these videos the midwife will give you all the important information about childbirth and the first period after.
Monthly we organize an information morning about breastfeeding. Our experienced lactation expert Marieke van Luin gives you all the ins and outs.
We work closely with some amazing women. Over the years, we’ve connected with more and more solo professionals and companies who give great care to “our” pregnant women. Who really stand beside you and help you along.
Dat het soms niet zo makkelijk is om de eerste dag van je laatste menstruatie vast te stellen bleek wel uit het verhaal van Imke. De assistente had een eerste afspraak voor haar gemaakt met daarbij de aantekening ‘onduidelijke zwangerschapsduur’. Meestal…
