Unique care at midwives Hilversum region

We offer a unique combination of obstetric care and doula support. This means that we are by your side throughout the birthing process, from beginning to end. Even if there is a medical need and you need to go to the hospital for further care, we stay with you as a doula while medical responsibility is transferred to the hospital staff. We continue to support in our role as doula for as long as you wish.

In our experience, having a familiar face at your delivery significantly increases the likelihood of a positive birthing experience.

What does the pathway at Dana Center look like?

As soon as you know you are pregnant, you can already make an appointment for a no-obligation introduction to Dana Center. We’ll take plenty of time to discuss your needs and expectations. If you decide to come to Dana under care, we will see you an average of 10-12 times during your pregnancy during consultations of 45 minutes each time. Around week 35, we will also come to your home. One of the consultations consists of a long in-depth session of about 1,5 to 2 hours in which we can go even deeper into aspects that still need attention in order to go well into labor and delivery. You can contact our ultrasound technician for all standard ultrasound scans such as the term and 13 and 20-week scans, but also for scans on your own request. During childbirth we stay with you and in the maternity week we visit you at home. Not only for the standard medical check-ups: we also offer emotional and practical guidance and support in the first vulnerable days after the birth. We conclude the process together with a follow-up check-up appointment about 6 weeks after delivery.

Services of Dana midwives Hilversum region

How many ultrasounds pregnancy?

During your pregnancy, you will be offered a standard term ultrasound (between 10-12 weeks), the 13-week ultrasound and the 20-week ultrasound. These ultrasounds are fully reimbursed and cost you nothing. You decide whether you want to make use of this offer; these ultrasounds are not obligatory. Sometimes there are indications for which you are offered extra ultrasounds, such as when you have blood loss, the location and position of your placenta is uncertain, there is a suspicion of retarded growth or if you want to know in which position your baby is lying. These ultrasounds can be done by our own ultrasound technician at Dana Center.

Pretecho midwife practice Hilversum region

Curious about your baby’s gender or just want to take a longer look at your little one? Besides the standard ultrasounds we also offer pretecho’s on request. Although these are not reimbursed and only available in Zeist, we still offer a solution as midwives for Hilversum and surroundings.

Integral Pelvic Therapy by midwives Hilversum region

Our holistic form of pelvic therapy; Integral Pelvic Therapy is part of our pregnancy counseling, where we restore balance to the pelvis through gentle out and if necessary, internal massage techniques. By paying attention to the pelvic area during pregnancy, we see in practice that fewer interventions are needed during labor and delivery and thus labor goes more smoothly with less damage.
