Information evenings at Midwives Lelystad

Information and support during your pregnancy and delivery

Good preparation gives peace and confidence. That is why Verloskundigen Lelystad organizes various information evenings, tailored to the phase of your pregnancy and your personal needs. Whether you are newly pregnant, want to know what to expect during childbirth, or are curious about practical arrangements regarding maternity care or recognition: our information evenings will help you on your way. You can come for early information but also for information about childbirth, maternity care and breastfeeding or bottle feeding. We offer information evenings several times at our practice and even if you are not registered with us, you are more than welcome to come! You can register for the information evening by sending an email to info@verloskundigenlelystad.nl

Early Education (first half of pregnancy)

At the beginning of your pregnancy, there is a lot to take into account. During the early information, you will receive practical information about a healthy lifestyle, work & leave, infectious diseases, pregnancy courses, but also the role of the midwife. Topics such as maternity care, recognition and sports are discussed. By attending an information evening, you will be informed about important topics before you get all kinds of questions yourself and have to look this up. Our information evenings are free, last approximately two hours and offer space for questions and discussing uncertainties.
