Midwifery practice with four Amsterdam locations
About
A midwifery practice working in small teams of three midwives, with consultation rooms in Amsterdam Noord, West (Houthavens), Oost (Plantagebuurt) and Centrum. They deliberately take on fewer pregnancies so appointments are longer, and they offer Centering Pregnancy group care alongside standard one-to-one care. Scans are done by their own sonographers, and several locations also host massage, acupuncture, pelvic physiotherapy, a dietitian and pregnancy courses. English-language site and a free introductory webinar.

Frequently asked
What is Centering Pregnancy and is it compulsory?
It is group antenatal care with around ten other parents-to-be due in the same month, focused on learning together and building a support network. It is offered to everyone but you can also choose traditional one-to-one care.
Can I get to know the midwives before I register?
Yes. They run a free 90-minute 'Meeting Amstermam' webinar every two weeks after work hours, covering first-trimester dos and don'ts and introducing the team.

Noord (Asterweg 173), West/Houthavens (Westerdok 808), Oost/Plantagebuurt (Louise Wentstraat 186) and Centrum (Spuistraat 239-1). You pick a preferred location when you register.
