Personal support during your pregnancy

Your pregnancy is a special journey. At Praktijk Vida, we guide you step by step with expert medical check-ups, professional ultrasounds and an attentive ear for all your questions and thoughts. Together, we work towards a healthy pregnancy and a relaxed birth, at home or in the hospital, and from our practice in Bilthoven we can always be with you quickly.

What does pregnancy care look like?

Every pregnancy is unique. That is why at Praktijk Vida, you choose between traditional one-to-one appointments and Centering Pregnancy. Centering Pregnancy brings together medical care and valuable exchange with your group: women who are due around the same time as you. You share experiences and still receive all the trusted care you need.

The first check-up & 8-week ultrasound

Around week 7 to 8 of your pregnancy, we would love to see you for your first (free) early ultrasound. We check whether the heart is beating and give you the first important advice.

Dating ultrasound & intake

Between weeks 10 and 12, we use the dating ultrasound to determine your exact due date. During the extensive intake appointment, we take plenty of time to discuss your medical history, lifestyle and personal wishes.

Regular check-ups & growth

Throughout your pregnancy, you come to see us regularly for check-ups. We measure your blood pressure, check the growth of your bump, listen to your baby's heartbeat and talk about how you are feeling.

Preparing for the birth

From week 34, we take the time to discuss your birth plan in detail. What are your wishes for pain relief, where would you like to give birth and who would you like with you? We make sure you go into labour feeling confident.

Planning a pregnancy & preconception advice

Are you hoping to get pregnant? You are very welcome to see us before your pregnancy too. During a preconception consultation, we give advice on healthy eating, folic acid and lifestyle, and we look at any medical risks in advance. That way, you start your pregnancy as well prepared as possible.
