Tailored care for pregnancy

Congratulations, you are pregnant. It goes without saying that you want the best care for you and your baby. It is therefore good to know that the nine regional midwifery practices, gynaecologists, midwives, paediatricians and neonatologists from the Reinier de Graaf hospital have developed an integrated care model that means they are working together more intensively. It is almost always possible to have your baby at home or in the hospital This care model is called the Reinova Geboortegroep and helps to improve the quality and safety of care in the Delft area.

Tailored care

You will have your first appointment with your midwife in a midwifery practice. However, if you have a clotting deficiency or you have had an ectopic pregnancy or multiple miscarriages in the past, then your first appointment will (possibly) be at the Reinier de graaf hospital.

As a pregnant woman in Delft it is also nice to know that the kraamzorg bureaus, JGZ (child health team) and the gynaecologists, midwives, paediatricians and neonatologists from the Reinier de Graaf hospital are working closely together via the VSV Reinier (Verloskundig Samenwerkings Verband). There is regular contact between all of these specialists in order to optimise the care for you. We as midwives discuss your pregnancy (with consent) in a meeting with the gynaecologists and the midwives from the hospital (Multidisciplinary meeting). If necessary, a paediatrician or neonatologist, kraamzorg and/or the baby clinic from the JGZ will be consulted. During this meeting a risk analysis will be made. Based on the we will decide which care path suits your needs best, tailored care. This care path contains the information about what care you will receive and where. With the midwife where possible, with the gynaecologist if necessary.
