Our care

Are you consciously considering your desire to have children? Perhaps you’re just beginning this special journey and want to prepare well for a healthy pregnancy, now or in the future. Or perhaps you’ve been trying to conceive for a while, with or without medical assistance, and are wondering why it hasn’t worked yet.

At our practice we take care of (almost) all blood tests ourselves, including the NIPT. At the beginning of the pregnancy we take blood for the general pregnancy lab test (blood group, infectious diseases, iron levels) and if you wish the NIPT. Around 27-30 weeks we take blood again as standard for your iron levels. If indicated we can take extra blood tests. Both the midwives and our assistant can take blood tests. We work together with ATAL Medial.

You have nine months to make the journey from not pregnant, to being a mother and father, or to becoming an even bigger family. During this journey we walk with you to assist you where necessary.

Once you have registered via the website, our assistant will contact you by telephone to schedule an intake interview and, if desired, an early ultrasound around 7-8 weeks of pregnancy.

You can have a fun ultrasound with us around 15 weeks of pregnancy and around 27-30 weeks of pregnancy. At 27-30 weeks this is also possible in 3D/4D. During this fun ultrasound we take photos and moving images (in 3D) of your child.

You can have the 13-week ultrasound performed between 12.3 and 14.3 weeks. This is a new prenatal screening ultrasound that can detect any physical abnormalities at an earlier stage.

The 20-week ultrasound is a screening ultrasound that examines visible physical abnormalities in your baby. You choose whether you want this research. If you want, you can also find out the gender with this ultrasound. The 20-week ultrasound is included in the basic package and is therefore reimbursed by your health insurer.

At Praktijk Onder de Linde we make all ultrasounds ourselves, both medically and for fun.

In our practice we also offer the option to place an IUD 13-14 weeks after childbirth.

At our practice, we perform (almost) all blood samples ourselves, including the NIPT. At the beginning of the pregnancy, we take blood for the standard prenatal laboratory tests (blood type, infectious diseases, iron levels), and if desired, the NIPT. Around 27–30 weeks, we routinely take another blood sample to check your iron levels. Additional blood tests can be done if indicated. Both our midwives and our assistant are trained to perform blood draws. We collaborate with ATAL Medial.
