What do we do

In the Netherlands there is a unique system of midwives and gynecologists. Midwives guide the healthy pregnancies and regular births. A gynecologist steps in when complications arise. A midwife is primarily a medical expert. But, aside from this she is also a coach and a confidant during the whole pregnancy period.

A midwife has had an intensive education of 4 years to get a bachelor degree. During those 4 years a midwife in training spends 50% of her time doing internships, so by the end of her training she has witnessed and assisted already a few hundred deliveries. 

Naturally, you can come to Midwifery Practice Eindhoven for guidance during your pregnancy and delivery. Also the most ultrasounds (and fun-ultrasounds) during the pregnancy are made at our practice.
If your pregnancy and delivery are assisted by a gynecologist, you need a midwife for your medical checkups during the postpartum period. You can register with us for this purpose.
Aside from this we offer a child-wish office hour to couples who would like to become pregnant.

The care for international clients is one of our specialties. We are a member of Healtcare 4 Internationals, a non-profit network of organisations that aim to close the gap between Dutch healthcare and the needs and expectations of patients with an international background.
