Our tips & advice

The advice to start taking folic acid if you want to get pregnant is well known to many expectant pregnant women by now. But there are many more things you can do, do not do or change in order to get pregnant healthily. We are happy to give you reliable and personalized information at the healthy pregnancy consultation. The time just before you get pregnant and the first months of pregnancy appear to have more influence on the baby’s health than has long been thought. And often you’ve already spent much of your life trying to “not get pregnant,” so many parents-to-be are also not so sure when you’re fertile and how to increase your chances of getting pregnant. We are happy to help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy. You can come to us for the childwish consultation. All important topics around becoming pregnant for you and your partner are discussed.

A healthy lifestyle

In the first weeks of pregnancy, a baby grows very fast. Potentially, everything is already there after three months of pregnancy. Now a pregnant woman goes to the midwife around 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. She gets a lot of advice about a healthy lifestyle. But especially in the first months of pregnancy, this advice can contribute to the good health of the baby. So it is advisable to already adjust your lifestyle (a little) the moment you decide to become pregnant. You will reduce the risks for the important first months of pregnancy and not fall behind the times. Don’t worry too much in the beginning, because most of the time getting pregnant comes naturally. 80% of all women who want to get pregnant are pregnant within one year.

Heredity

Heredity and the risk of birth defects can be very important to some people. If you are interested in your options during pregnancy to have different tests or investigations done, we can discuss that now.

Prepare with the childwish consultation

Often the period when you decide you want to get pregnant is a very fun and exciting time. It can be accompanied by many questions and topics that you may not be so quick to talk about with others. You actually want to keep it a secret for a while, or you find it embarrassing to talk about. To reduce the uncertainty during this period and make sure you start a pregnancy as healthy as possible, the childwish consultation has been developed. This is an appointment with the midwife before you are pregnant in which all the important topics are discussed.

Schedule an appointment

So you can already visit 040verloskunde before you are pregnant. You do not need a referral. Obstetric care is first-line care, just like the general practitioner, and is covered by the basic health insurance. This means that you can simply make an appointment yourself, without the intervention of another care provider. Of course, you are also welcome at the practice if you are already pregnant. Interested? Schedule an appointment or call our assistant for an appointment. On the website www.zwangerwijzer.nl you can already fill out a questionnaire in preparation for the consultation. You can mail the answers to us or print them out and bring them to the practice.
