Maternity Health Care

Finding a Gyneacologist
You can have a gynea deliver your baby but normally they only care for women with high risk pregnancies. It is rare to see the same one at every antenatal visit and even more rare for them to be able to attend your baby's birth.

Finding a Doula
A doula is a woman who supports women in labour. She can provide massage, reflexology, homeopathic treatments depending on her training. An ideal solution for women who are using a gynaecologist who will only arrive once you are fully dilated. Clients in Rotterdam are very pleased with www.sophiedoula.nl

Midwife - finding one in my area
