ABOUT US
We are Ellen & Omer: Pregnanta Maternity Care midwifery practice. A female and a male midwife with whom you can be yourself. We love honest, informal and friendly midwifery care. Couples can come to us with any question; nothing is too strange for us! Our clients are always welcome to come and meet us and get a feel for our atmosphere. We give our clients much more attention and time than the average Amsterdam midwifery practice. Nobody is just a number to us.
Alongside midwifery care, we also pay a lot of attention to the psychosocial and relationship changes during pregnancy. In our view, partners play a crucial role in pregnancy and giving birth. Natural birthing positions, including the birthing stool and giving birth in water, are our specialities. Through all the water births we have done together, we are completely in sync with each other. In our view, this allows us to provide even better care.
Our regular locum midwives, Shelaika and Roos, share our vision and way of thinking seamlessly. Both were partly trained by us, so we can vouch for them completely! It’s lovely to get to know all four of us during the process. It is important to know that we don’t need any extra cover during holiday periods, so the four of us always cover all shifts and consultations.
A pleasant pregnancy and a good birth form the basis of parenthood built on confidence.
OUR VISION
A passion for every new beginning.
Our midwifery practice, Pregnanta Maternity Care, sees pregnancy and birth as a natural and physiological process. Involvement, attention and a personal approach are at the heart of the way we provide care. You will be our focus at all times, and we aim to offer care tailored to you. Tell us your wishes: a birth at home or in hospital, with or without pain relief, in bed, in the bath or on the birthing stool? Everything can be discussed!
During check-ups we take all the time needed to discuss your questions and concerns about pregnancy and birth in detail. The midwife who supported you during the birth will also visit you in the postnatal period to talk about your experience of the birth.
