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 Gaasperdam/Arena/Gein.
Birth
If you do not have a medical indication then one of the midwives from Team 2 will provide the care during labor and delivery. This is Team Bijlmermeer/De Ronde Venen or Team Gaasperdam/Arena/Gein, so aside from Leanne and Roelie this is Rofayda, Lidewij, Melissa, Remke or Maylis. 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.
Ultrasounds
Maylis
Remke
Melissa
All ultrasound scans (early viability scan, dating scan, 20-week, growth, fetal position) are made by one of Vida’s midwife sonographers. For Team Gein/De Ronde Venen this is Maylis Sanjuan, Remke Grootenhuis and Melissa Sloot.
Together, we will discuss which ultrasound scans are applicable to your pregnancy.
Maylis and Remke also provide our contraception care. Aside from making ultrasounds, you will also see Maylis, Remke and Melissa as midwives, and who knows, maybe even at your birth!
The ultrasound appointments take place at our location in Gezondheidscentrum Reigersbos.
Prenatal Consultations
Leanne and Roelie do prenatal consultations on various days. All of the appointments are at our locations at the health center Klein Gooioord, Abcoude and in Vinkeveen.
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 1 will come to provide the care during your birth. This does not happen often.
