Prenatal follow-up
Postnatal care
Practical
Being pregnant is a period with many changes and questions. If you want to be well informed, prepared and guided, I would very much like to do this as a midwife. Together I will guide you through the
pregnancy guides and provided with information and medical
succession.
You can expect the following details during your prenatal period
follow-up:
-
Taking weight and blood pressure
-
Determining the position of the baby from 28 weeks
-
Determining your uterus height to monitor your baby's growth
-
Listening to the heart sounds (from 12 weeks of pregnancy)
-
Blood collection, urine check if necessary
-
provide information in preparation for the next stage of pregnancy
​
In addition to all this, a medical file will be drawn up for follow-up and my listening ear is always present.
Can you leave the hospital (quickly) and do you need further medical follow-up? Would you like to be guided at home by a midwife to reassure you, provide medical follow-up for mother and baby, and receive information about new parenthood and life?
You can certainly expect the following when you return home:
-
Medical follow-up of the mother
-
Medical follow-up of the baby
-
Blood collection from baby between 72 and 96 hours i.e. Guthrie test (metabolic disorders)
-
Guidance and advice in caring for the baby, e.g. baby bath
-
Guidance and advice on breastfeeding
-
Emotional support

Customized care with attention to the new situation, taking time to support are core elements of my work as a midwife.
I have been working since May 1st, 2025 as a non-contracted midwife. If you are affiliated with a Belgian health insurance fund (mutualité), 75% of the costs are covered by the fund.
The patient is responsible for 25% plus an additional fee.
If you have private insurance, costs are often covered—please check your policy for details.
You will always receive a certificate of care for reimbursement by your insurance.
I apply the official INAMI rates, excluding the additional fee.
I work according to the quality guidelines of the 'Good Practice' label, which allows me to ensure high-quality care. ​
All additional costs will be sent by invoice the month after the performance and will be transferred by bank transfer.
