Prenatal testing

During your appointment, we will provide you with detailed information—if you wish—about the options for prenatal testing. By prenatal testing, we mean the NIPT, 13 and 20-week ultrasound and prenatal testing At the NIPT This test assesses the risk of having a baby with Down syndrome (and Edwards or Patau syndrome). For the NIPT, a blood sample is taken from the pregnant woman.

The 13 and 20 weeks This ultrasound is also known as the Structural Ultrasound Examination (SEO). The name pretty much says it all. During this ultrasound, the baby is primarily examined for structural (visible) abnormalities.

If indicated, we also provide information about prenatal diagnostic tests. These include the chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with these studies before coming to the consultation.

During the first few weeks of the pregnancy, we ended up at Aan de Laak. Our first instinct was: “That’s where we need to be!“ And we were right! The very first phone call, when we asked if we could sign up, immediately put us at ease. We were heading into an unfamiliar period, with all the questions we had, the anxiety, and the first little discomforts! They put us at ease right away. The intimate, small-scale setting made us feel right at home. Everyone hears you and knows you. They’re available 24/7. You can call them even for the smallest things—to discuss something or just to share your story. And if necessary, they’ll be at your door as soon as possible, or they’ll schedule appointments at the hospital for you. They’re not just there for the baby and the mother—they’re also a listening ear for you as a (soon-to-be) family. We’re so grateful to the ladies at Aan de Laak and look back on a special time they were a part of.

The ladies at Aandelaak were my midwives during three pregnancies. During the first two, I also participated in the Centering Pregnancy sessions, which I highly recommend, by the way! The ladies are personable, warm, decisive, friendly, well-informed, and genuinely interested. During my last pregnancy with our twins, I had my checkups at the hospital, but Aandelaak still called me every so often to check in and see how I was doing. Even after the (premature) birth, we stayed in close contact, and I felt incredibly supported. They make sure that both during and after your pregnancy, you feel seen and that they can support you wherever needed. – Esmee Blom-Gommans
