Unique care at Bilthoven region midwives

Our unique combination of holistic midwifery and Doula support ensures continuity of care throughout the birthing process. Even with medical necessity and transition to hospital care, we remain by your side as a doula while medical responsibility is transferred to hospital staff. Our support as Doula continues for as long as you desire, as we believe that having a familiar face during childbirth significantly increases the likelihood of a positive experience.

What does the pathway of midwifery care at Dana Center look like?

As soon as you discover you are pregnant, you are welcome for a no-obligation consultation at Dana Center. We will take ample time to discuss your needs and expectations. If you choose to be accompanied by us, we will see you an average of 10-12 times during your pregnancy, with consultations lasting 45 minutes each time. Around week 35, we will also come to your home. One of these consultations includes an extended session of 1.5 to 2 hours, in which we go deeper into aspects that still need attention in preparation for childbirth and maternity. You can contact our ultrasound technician for standard ultrasounds such as the term ultrasound and the 13- and 20-week ultrasound, but also for ultrasounds at your own request. During the delivery we are present and in the postpartum week we come to your home for support, not only for medical checks, but also for emotional and practical guidance in the first days after delivery. We conclude the process with a follow-up check-up appointment about 6 weeks after delivery.

Services of Dana midwives Bilthoven region

How many ultrasounds during pregnancy?

During your pregnancy, we offer several ultrasounds as part of our care. We begin with a term ultrasound between 10-12 weeks, followed by a 13-week ultrasound and a 20-week ultrasound. These ultrasounds are fully covered and incur no cost to you. It is important to note that the choice to undergo these ultrasounds is entirely up to you; they are not mandatory.

Sometimes situations may arise where additional ultrasounds are needed for more insight. This may include blood loss, uncertainty about the placenta’s location and position, concerns about the baby’s growth, or when you simply want to know the position of your baby. Our in-house ultrasound technicians at Dana Center can perform these additional ultrasounds, if needed.

Pretecho midwife practice Bilthoven region

Are you curious about your baby’s gender or just longing for extra time to look at your little one? In addition to our standard ultrasounds, we also offer pretecho’s upon request. Although these pretecho’s are not reimbursed and only available in Zeist, we still want to offer a solution for expectant parents in Bilthoven and surrounding areas.

Integral Pelvic Therapy by midwives Bilthoven region

Our Integral Pelvic Therapy, a holistic approach to pelvic treatment, is an essential part of our pregnancy counseling. We aim to restore pelvic balance using gentle external and, if necessary, internal massage techniques. Our experience shows that by paying specific attention to the pelvic area during pregnancy, the number of interventions during childbirth can be significantly reduced. This often results in a smoother delivery with fewer complications, as we have observed in our practice.
