The first check-up

The first appointment (the intake) is an extensive conversation in which we will get acquainted. During this 30–45-minute appointment many topics will be discussed with regard to your pregnancy. This way we can optimally respond to your personal situation, your wishes and your questions. A good start, the beginning of something beautiful.

Topics of discussion during the intake:

  • Explanation of PUUR care during pregnancy
  • Your medical background
  • Any previous pregnancies
  • Information on the hows and whys of being pregnant

Online questionnaire

After you have registered with PUUR, you will receive an online questionnaire regarding your medical history, your menstrual cycle, your family's medical background, etc. With this information, we will determine whether there are additional points of attention for your pregnancy or whether there are additional research is needed. It would be nice if you would fill in this questionnaire asap. We will then discuss the results during your intake interview.

PRENATAL SCREENING

During the first check-up, the midwife will ask whether you would like to know more about testing for Down's, Edwards' and Patau's syndrome or for physical abnormalities in the child. This is called prental screening. If you would like more information about this, we will make an appointment for a consultation at the practice. We call this the counselling interview. During this meeting, we will discuss the various possibilities with you, after which you can make a choice.
