Welcome to Team Diemen

Thessa

Emma

Anne

We are your regular midwives: Thessa Hetem, Anne Hunink and Emma van der Weerd.

Thessa is an experienced midwife who has been part of the Vida team since 2014. Her passion as a midwife is to come alongside expecting mothers so they will confidently progress into motherhood. As a mother of four she knows first-hand how special the journey of pregnancy, childbirth and becoming a parent can be.

Anne has been a midwife with Vida for years. With a background as a social worker, she picked up a second study: Obstetrics. In 2015 she did her final internship with Vida and loved working in Southeast so much, that she decided to become part of the Vida team. Her passion is to empower women. Anne has two daughters, born in 2017 and 2020.

Emma is an experienced midwife who has been part of the Vida team for a long time. She grew up all over the world and came to the Netherlands on purpose to work here as a midwife. She’s a firm believer in the autonomy of a woman and giving women the chance to give birth in their own way. Emma has a bachelor in public health. She’s also the mother of two sons who were born in 2019 and 2022.

We look forward to caring for you in the coming months!

Midwifery Care

Check-up appointments

In the beginning of your pregnancy you will come about once a month for a check-up. This will increase in frequency until the end of your pregnancy when you will come once a week. At essentially all of your appointments you will see one of us. It may happen that due to our appointment schedule or your own schedule it may be more convenient to have your check-up with Team Bijlmermeer.

Birth

If you do not have a medical indication then one of the midwives from Team 1 will provide the care during labor and delivery. This is Team Diemen or Team Bijlmermeer, so aside from Thessa, Anne and Emma this is Maria, Roelie or Marike. Depending on your preferences this can be at home or in the hospital. We have a lot of experience with water births. We change shifts for who is on-call for deliveries every 24 hours.

Postpartum Week

Elsa

Ellie

Our experienced maternity nurses Ellie and Elsa do all of the postpartum visits for Team Diemen. We strive to have at least one of the visits during the postpartum week to be done by one of the midwives from Team Diemen, if possible the midwife who attended the birth.

Ultrasounds

Marike

Maria

All ultrasound scans (early viability scan, dating scan, 20-week, growth, fetal position) are made by one of Vida’s midwife sonographers. For Team Diemen this is Marike Nijman and Maria Hoenderdos.

Together, we will discuss which ultrasound scans are applicable to your pregnancy.

Aside from making ultrasounds, you may also see Marike and Maria as a regular midwife and who knows, maybe even at your birth. Marike is also a familiar face for our online sessions about the delivery.

All ultrasounds scans take place at our location in De Brede Hoed in Diemen.

Prenatal Consultations

Thessa, Anne and Emma do prenatal consultations on various days. All of the appointments are at the health center De Brede Hoed in Diemen and the General Practitioner’s office in Holland Park.

Availability

Your midwife is reachable 24/7 for births and emergencies. If the midwife is already busy with a delivery then another Vida midwife from team 2 will come to provide the care during your birth. This does not happen often.
