At the positioning ultrasound, we check the baby’s position and the amount of amniotic fluid. If you have a medical indication, it may be necessary to have a growth ultrasound during this check-up. We talk again about the delivery; has everything been discussed? Do you have any questions or ideas? It is explained when you can call us when labor starts.

37-38 weeks: Regular checkup
To do:
39-40 weeks: the due date in sight
During this regular check-up, it is discussed that it is quite normal to reach 40 weeks or go a little over it. Only 4% of babies are born on the counted out date, often they like to stay in your belly a little longer. We explain what happens if labor doesn’t start after 40 weeks. Today in your Pregnancy Portal you get information about the time after the due date.
To do:
40-41 weeks: Not in labor yet?
A final pregnancy checkup with us! Your baby could be born at any moment! A vaginal exam during your consultation appointment can determine if your cervix is favorable to attempt “stripping” (if desired).
To do:
1st week after delivery: maternity care
Visits to your home in the puerperium by the midwife.
6 weeks after delivery: follow-up checkup
Last checkup at the practice, 6 weeks after delivery.
10 weeks postpartum: Contraception
Do you want the pill or IUD? An IUD can be placed from 10 weeks after delivery. You can simply make an appointment with us for this.
