De Geboortezaak
Wijk bij Duurstede
Are you pregnant and looking for a midwife who gives you all the attention you need? Then you’ve come to the right place! We offer obstetric care in Wijk bij Duurstede, Cothen, Langbroek, Doorn and Werkhoven.
Every pregnancy and childbirth are unique. Every pregnant woman has her own story. Being pregnant is a natural process. The body usually clearly indicates what is best for you and your child. As midwives, we rely on the strength and intuition of expectant parents and tailor our care accordingly. For a pleasant pregnancy and a natural childbirth, it is important that you can make your own choices and you feel supported and at ease. We tailor our services according to your needs and wishes during pregnancy and childbirth. A dedicated team of four midwives is always by your side, day and night.
In addition to our trusted care we offer CenteringPregnancy, which is the newest form of obstetric care. Also, all ultrasounds during your pregnancy will be carried out at our own practice.
Furthermore, we guide women during the postnatal period who are under the supervision of a gynaecologist. You can sign up for these check-ups via wijkbijduurstede@degeboortezaak.nl
Since 2017 we are part of De Geboortezaak, but perhaps you remember us as Verloskundigenpraktijk Wijk bij Duurstede. Same team, same location, different name.
