At Geboortecentrum, we have everything you need as a pregnant woman. This includes a midwife practice. The various departments at Geboortecentrum work closely together. From maternity center to child health clinic. So everything during your pregnancy is on one line, and this gives peace and confidence.
In the thank-you cards, you can read that pregnant women like to be helped by us.
The midwife practice Amsterdam has existed for over 25 years and is part of the dynamic Geboortecentrum. With us, women are guided with a lot of time and attention. We find it important that you can be pregnant and give birth in the way you want. We believe that you give birth the best where you feel safest: at home or in the hospital. That’s why we support you in that choice.
In our practice we work with two teams of midwives: Team Yellow and Red. You will be assigned to one of these teams based on where you live. Residents from Badhoevedorp are assigned to Team Red, residents from Amsterdam to Team Yellow.

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 try to make our waiting room as pleasant as possible. Always fresh flowers, the latest Linda and Happinez, and a children’s stove. Every week we write the names of all the new mothers and their babies on the big mirror. Everyone longs to eventually appear on that mirror themselves. Many pregnant women know each other from pregnancy classes. Immediately looking at the mirror is often the first thing women do when they enter the waiting room.
Wheelchair users can always receive home visits by arrangement.
When you are pregnant, you will visit us ten times on average for check-ups. You and your partner, if any, are the main focus. We believe in the ability of women to stand in their power and prefer to provide guidance with which you feel comfortable.
You, along with your partner, decide how and where you want to give birth. We will do everything possible to facilitate those wishes. Research shows that women who are well prepared for their birth look back with greater satisfaction afterwards. Before and during childbirth, the midwives of our midwife practice are fully focused on supporting you during this process. We bring our years of experience with us.
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.
Every month we organize an information evening about childbirth. During this evening you will hear all the important information about giving birth and the first period after from the midwife.
Every month we also organize an information morning about breastfeeding. Experienced lactation expert Marieke van Luin gives 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…
