Pregnant

When you are pregnant, you make an appointment with your doctor or right away with an obstetrician. The midwife will talk to you about your pregnancy and explain everything to you. The midwife accompanies you throughout your pregnancy and during childbirth. 

Now Not Pregnant

When you have a child, your life changes. That should be able to be a conscious choice for everyone. Not something that takes someone by surprise. And certainly not if someone is already in a vulnerable position. Nu Niet Zwanger' (NNZ) offers care providers practical and concrete tips and the opportunity for you to start a conversation about wanting children, sexuality and contraception. We call this child wish exploration.

We participate in NNZ and work with attention officers who can help you with all your questions on this topic. If you do not know what to do, would like more information or guidance, please contact the attention officers at 040 289 3893 or email NNZ@geldrop-mierlo.nl. We will contact you as soon as possible. Below you will find more information about (unintended) pregnancy, contraception and more.

THE STEP to healthier

THE STEP to healthier helps you take steps toward a healthier life. This will help you feel fitter and happier. On this website you will find tips, activities and handy tools that you can get started with right away, without having to go to your doctor, your health insurance company or anywhere else first. Here we get you started on the theme of 'Pregnant'.
