How does maternity care work?

The composition of a maternity care package depends on the situation and care needs of the client. During the intake interview, which takes place around 34e Week of pregnancy, the number of hours at which the entitlement is determined. Of course, more hours can always be taken if desired. The indicated hours can range from 24 to 49 hours.

A reassessment is made during the maternity period. The situation is being looked at at that time. The expert judgment of the Midwife is also taken into account.

Intake

About three months before the due date we will contact you to schedule an intake interview. We find the personal contact very important, so all the intakes are done by us at home. The care coordinator then comes along to determine according to the LIP (National Indication protocol) How many hours of care your family needs.

The conditions that a family must meet will also be discussed. Think of conditions that guard a health-care work environment of the maternity nurse, but also we will pass on the necessities that you need to take with you. If you have specific requests, please indicate this.

Appointments can be made about childbirth and the maternity season. If there are specific needs and/or uses to which a maternity nurse should be taken, you can indicate this. We want to offer the care that you expect from us.
