Personal and expert care
We are a solid team of four experienced midwives who will be there for you. We purposely keep our practice small-scale because we want to get to know you and have the opportunity to provide you with enough time and attention. We strive to provide custom medical and psychological guidance during the pregnancy, the delivery, and the transition to parenthood. It is our priority to be easy approachable and provide personal attention and guidance.
The area we work in is Oegstgeest, including Nieuw-Rhijngeest, and extends to Leiden and the towns bordering on Oegstgeest: Warmond, Rijnsburg, and Valkenburg.
High-quality ultrasounds
You can obviously come to us for ultrasound scans during your pregnancy. If you would like to know which scans are reimbursed by your insurance company, click here.
In order to be able to measure and screen your child properly, we consider it important to perform scans of optimal quality. This is why we have our ultrasound scans performed by Verloskundig Centrum de Poort. It is possible to schedule your scans in our practice or in the regional ultrasound centre in Leiden. High-quality ultrasound scans are performed here by experienced professionals using the best equipment, which guarantees quality.
Education
We offer to send you a pregnancy update e-mail every week detailing your child’s growth, including reliable advice and information on the current stage of your pregnancy.
We also provide informationl evening sessions which you can attend free of charge: a session about parenthood, a session about pain relief options, and a session about the delivery and the postpartum period. These informational sessions are meant to help you to be as well-prepared as possible for the arrival of your child.
On this page you can find all kind of other pregnancy courses / birth classes in our region.
Fun extras!
You can view your pregnancy details online with the Orfeus B.V. ‘Zwanger!’ app. This allows you to have access to your pregnancy record sheet at all times.

We can cut the tongue tie of the baby when the tongue tie is causing problems for the breastfeeding/the drinking behaviour of the baby in the postnatal period. More information on the Dutch page of our website (korte tongriem).
Baby-friendly
Breast milk is the best food for babies. Our practice bears the Baby-friendly certification. This means that the high quality of our care and advice regarding breastfeeding has been verified.
It is our objective to inform you well, to ensure a uniform approach to procedures, and to remain abreast of the latest knowledge. In addition, one of the midwives, Eline Schaake, is also a lactation consultant. You can approach her if you have any questions about breastfeeding or need extra guidance once the baby is born.
Evening consultation
We have a weekly evening consultation which will make it easier to make an appointment and which provides you with more chances of getting together to the check-ups. Appointments early in the day and towards the end of the afternoon are also an option.
You will receive electronic confirmation of the appointments that you make with us.
