Why Midwives Lelystad is different

At Midwives Lelystad we are committed to providing comprehensive care during your pregnancy, delivery, maternity week and follow-up. On this page, discover both the standard and unique extra care we offer, designed to make your experience as personal and supportive as possible.

Standard obstetric care includes:

• 10-minute consultation checks for medical checks, information and planning of follow-up appointments
• An average of 13 checks during the pregnancy
• Three standard ultrasounds at 10, 13, and 20 weeks of pregnancy, with additional ultrasounds if medically necessary
• Assistance with home or outpatient deliveries
• Three maternity visits in the first week after delivery
• A follow-up check six weeks after delivery, for mothers who gave birth at home or in an outpatient setting

Obstetric care by Midwives Lelystad offers extras such as:

• Longer consultation hours of 20 minutes, including extensive conversations and medical checks, without this being at the expense of your time with the midwife
• An increase to an average of 15 checks, plus the option for additional checks as needed
• An extra early ultrasound at 7 weeks, offered free of charge, in addition to the standard ultrasounds and 4 extra growth ultrasounds with our pampering package, also without medical indication
• Extensive childbirth support options, including some medical situations normally handled by the hospital
• Four maternity visits, for even more support at home after the birth
• Follow-up check after six weeks, regardless of the type of delivery
• A consultation regarding the desire to have children for future pregnancy planning
• The option to chat with your midwife for questions and advice
