Pregnancy care in Hilversum
Throughout your pregnancy, we will schedule regular check-ups to monitor both your health and your baby’s growth. During these appointments, we perform multiple ultrasounds and address any concerns or questions you may have. Ultrasounds allow us to track your baby’s development, and from 20 weeks onwards, we can determine the baby’s sex if you wish. In case of any complications or abnormalities, we will discuss the findings together and explore the available options, including any additional testing if needed.
We are also here to provide guidance on nutrition, pregnancy symptoms, and overall well-being. If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out. For those looking for extra support and connection, we offer the Centering Pregnancy program. This program consists of ten group sessions where you can share experiences with other expecting mothers while also receiving individual care from your midwife. It’s a great way to receive additional support, knowledge, and reassurance.
Preparing for your childbirth experience
As you approach the final weeks of pregnancy, we will discuss your birth preferences in detail. You may choose to give birth at home, but we also collaborate with several hospitals in the area, including Tergooi ziekenhuis Hilversum, Geboortecentrum Amersfoort / Meander Medisch Centrum in Amersfoort and Geboortehuis Utrecht / Diakonessenhuis in Utrecht. If you decide on a hospital birth, your midwife will accompany you to provide support and guidance.
To help prepare for your delivery, you can create a birthing plan, where you outline your expectations and wishes. This ensures that both your midwife and the hospital staff are aware of your preferences and can adjust their care accordingly.
Pain Management and Childbirth SupportPreparing for your childbirth experience
Childbirth naturally involves pain, but there are several ways to manage it. When discussing your birth plan, we will go over both natural and medical pain relief options. Your body produces hormones that help ease discomfort, and techniques such as Lamaze breathing exercises and birthing positions can significantly reduce pain. If needed, we will also discuss medical pain relief methods available during labor.
Why you should choose Materna:
- Over 10 years of experience;
- Professional care with a personal approach;
- Your wishes and preferences come first;
- Comprehensive maternity care with your own dedicated midwife.
Maternity care at Materna Hilversum
After the birth, our midwives will continue to support you during the first week of maternity care. During this time, we will help you take care of your baby, monitor your recovery, and ensure that both you and your newborn are doing well. We closely track your baby’s health and development and are available to answer any questions about newborn care. Additionally, as all our midwives are trained lactation consultants, we can provide expert guidance and support with breastfeeding if needed.
After the first week, the care of your baby will be transferred to your general practitioner and consultation office. Around six weeks postpartum, we invite you for a follow-up appointment to discuss your pregnancy and birth experience, check your recovery, and answer any remaining questions.
Birth control
At Materna Verloskundigen, we also provide guidance and support with birth control. Our midwives can advise you on the different contraception methods available and help you choose the one that best suits your personal needs and preferences. We can prescribe the pill, as well as place or remove an Intrauterine Device (IUD), such as a hormonal IUD (Mirena or Kyleena) or a copper IUD. Our expertise ensures that you receive professional and comfortable care in a trusted environment.
