Welcome to Team Bijlmermeer/De Ronde Venen

Ank

Marike

Emma

Leanne

We are your midwives: Ank de Jonge, Marike Nijman, Emma van Schaik and Leanne van der Poel.

Ank has been a midwife for more than 30 years and still loves her job. She likes to support you to be pregnant and give birth in a way that suits you. As a midwife, she has worked in England, Scotland and Nigeria and since 2003 she lives with her Ghanaian partner in the Netherlands. She loves working with women from different cultures.
About a quarter of her time, she works as a midwife. Also, she is a professor in Midwifery Science in Amsterdam UMC and UMC Groningen.
Ank is your midwife in Bijlmermeer.

Marike is your midwife in Abcoude en Vinkeveen. She has been a part of Vida since our early days. Our practice has Vida become the pleasant and excellent practice we are today, partly under her leadership. Marike brings with her a rich knowledge and expertise; she is a driven and dedicated midwife as well as an ultrasound specialist. The latter mainly at our location in Diemen.

Emma became a permanent midwife at Vida as of this year. During her internship prior with us, she immediately felt: this is where I can see myself working in the future! From day one, she felt a warm and safe atmosphere, both from the team and the clients. The variety in the work, the trust you receive, and the privilege of guiding such a special process make this profession very meaningful to her. Her favorite moment is visiting families at home during the postpartum period and seeing proud parents with their baby.

Leanne is currently on leave and hopes to return in 2026. Leanne is a skilled midwife and has been with Vida for years. She also completed a Masters at the UvA, but feels more like a midwife rather than a researcher. Her passion is to give women confidence in their pregnancy and labor. She does this through listening to what her clients find important. Leanne has three children born in 2017, 2019 and 2022. All three were born in a birthing pool at home under the care of the Vida colleagues.

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 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 Ank and Emma this is Rofayda, 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.

Postpartum Week

Elsa

Paula

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

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

Ank and Emma 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.
