Welcome to Midwives Lelystad. We are a small practice where a personal approach comes first. At our practice you will see a maximum of 5 midwives and we ensure that you have always met everyone before you give birth. We like to build a personal relationship within our practice and really want to be there for you. Everything can be discussed with us, you don't have to feel like 'a healthcare provider' because you can always call us.  With us you always receive immediately Midwife on the line and no assistant. This way you never have to tell your story twice and you will receive help quickly.

Our practice consists of a small, committed and warm team of midwives, all of whom put the best care for you first. Because you does not see changing midwives all the time, you can really build a bond with us and there will always be a well-known midwife at your delivery. A bond with your midwife is one of the most important things for good outcomes during a birth and that is why this is a priority for all of us.
We also have consultations every two weeks so that we are aware of the situation of our pregnant women. No one is unknown within our practice, so when you call we always know who you are and you can immediately tell us your story.

As midwives at Midwives Lelystad, we believe it is important that there is enough time for you during the check-ups during your pregnancy and that is why we offer standard extra-long check-ups of 20 minutes and some checks even 30-60 minutes. Because every pregnancy is unique, it may sometimes be desirable to schedule additional check-ups in between. That's why we offer one as standard heart consultation hour if you are worried or just want to listen to the baby extra (for example with a family member or friend).

At Midwives Lelystad we think it is important that you can answer all questions during your pregnancy, delivery, postpartum period and follow-up check (6 weeks after delivery). Even if you are being monitored in hospital before your pregnancy, you can also come to our consultation hours so that we can stay informed of how you are doing.

Is specific extra help needed during pregnancy for certain complaints, such as: pelvic pain, then we have a very nice collaboration with a regular pelvic floor physiotherapist Pascale van Uitert where we can ask your questions directly and you will receive immediate help.

Sometimes it may be necessary to receive extra help with breastfeeding during the maternity week and here too we have a good collaboration with permanent lactation consultant Everien Vogel.

Finally, we provide information in our own practice about various important topics, including childbirth and maternity week, which you can use free of charge. Would you also like to get in touch with other pregnant women in Kampen or the surrounding area? Then you can participate in our group meetings, also called Centering Pregnancy. The latter has many advantages, such as more confidence in your pregnancy and delivery, which research has shown. Of course, this is not an obligation and you can also choose to come to us for an individual check-up where there is enough time for your questions.
