Embe verloskundigen Zoetermeer

Embé Verloskundigen is a midwifery practice in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands, supporting people and families through fertility planning, pregnancy, birth, the postnatal period and contraception. The practice offers personal guidance, with clients’ wishes at the centre of care, and provides online registration for prospective clients.

Its services include initial and follow-up appointments, ultrasound scans, prenatal screening, birth preparation, advice on birth settings and pain relief, and support with breech presentation and miscarriage. After birth, the team offers postnatal care, newborn oxygen saturation checks, breastfeeding support, heel-prick and hearing-screening information, birth registration guidance, follow-up appointments and caesarean scar treatment. The practice also provides contraception care and a pregnancy heartbeat drop-in session for clients from 12 weeks.

Embé offers Centering Pregnancy as an alternative to relying solely on individual routine pregnancy checks. These group sessions combine guidance from midwives and a co-facilitator with discussion shaped by participants’ questions and priorities. The practice says its midwives are registered with the Royal Dutch Organisation of Midwives’ professional quality register.
