Mamaisa Verloskunde

Mamaisa Verloskunde is a midwifery practice located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, offering care for pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. The practice provides consultations, ultrasounds, and continuous support during labor, catering to women considering pregnancy or facing unexpected situations. It operates from two locations in Rotterdam West and Rotterdam Zuid, with services available in Dutch, English, Spanish, and Papiaments.

The practice offers a half-hour to one-hour consultation per pregnancy check-up and provides both basic and medical ultrasounds within their practice. They also offer a bevalbad (birth pool) for water births, including rental of hygienic covers, water pumps, and thermometers. Their approach emphasizes building a trusting relationship through taking ample time to get to know each client.

Mamaisa Verloskunde serves clients within a 25-minute travel radius from their practice addresses, covering Rotterdam and its surroundings. They operate from 's Gravendijkwal 66 in Rotterdam West and Mijnsherenplein 14 in Rotterdam Zuid. The practice limits the number of clients per month to ensure sufficient time during appointments and reduce the likelihood of simultaneous births.

The practice is multilingual, offering care in Dutch, English, Spanish, and Papiaments. They also refer clients for medical ultrasounds at 13 and 20 weeks to Echocentrum FemMonde, which also performs pre-echoes like gender determination and 3D scans at their Zuid location. This collaboration allows them to focus on personalized care while leveraging specialized ultrasound expertise.

To begin, new clients can fill out an application form online, after which the practice contacts them within 24 hours. They also offer a free, non-binding introductory meeting to discuss expectations, wishes, and to assess compatibility. For urgent needs, clients are advised to call directly rather than using email, WhatsApp, or SMS.

The practice operates from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 18:00 for non-urgent inquiries, but is available 24 hours a day for urgent calls. They encourage direct phone contact for immediate needs, reserving email for less urgent matters. Their contact number is 06-36368674, and they also accept inquiries via info@mamaisa.nl.

Clients can expect warm and professional care tailored to their individual needs, with a focus on autonomy and respect for personal boundaries. The practice aims to create a safe environment where women feel heard and supported throughout their pregnancy journey. They strive to adapt their care to the specific requirements of each client.

The practice is staffed by multiple midwives, including Louissienne Troncon and Tania Girigorie, who hold BIG-nummers 19917092003 and 19922260103 respectively. They operate under KVK-number 81721579 and are registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. Their practice is part of the broader healthcare ecosystem in Rotterdam.

The practice handles two types of ultrasounds: basic ones like term, growth, and position scans are performed in-house, while medical ultrasounds at 13 and 20 weeks are referred to FemMonde. Pre-echoes such as gender determination and 3D scans are also conducted at the Zuid location through their FemMonde colleagues.

The practice is open to special wishes for childbirth, though they always consider whether they feel comfortable accommodating those requests. They encourage clients to discuss their preferences during an introductory meeting to ensure mutual alignment. Flexibility is a key part of their service model.

In the rare event of two births occurring simultaneously, the midwives coordinate by calling each other and rely on a network of like-minded midwives in the region as a backup. They limit monthly client intake to minimize this scenario and maintain high-quality care.

The practice does not charge a legally mandatory deductible of €385 for midwifery care, as it falls under mandatory basic insurance. However, costs for laboratory tests, transport to the hospital for birth, and postpartum medical care do fall under the deductible. This aligns with guidelines from the Consumentenbond.

The practice emphasizes a personalized approach, with two fixed midwives and a focus on building trust through ample time spent with clients. They aim to provide a supportive environment that respects individual needs and boundaries throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period.

Mamaisa Verloskunde is located at ’s Gravendijkwal 66, Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland, 3014 EG, NL.
