In addition to the pregnant person, a maximum of 3 people (including children) are allowed to attend the ultrasound. However, at the 13 and 20 weeks ultrasound, you are only allowed to bring your partner or 1 adult. Unfortunately, it is NOT allowed to bring children with you during this ultrasound since it is a medical ultrasound that requires extra concentration from the sonographer.
Unfortunately, children are not allowed at the 13-week and 20-week ultrasound, since it is a medical ultrasound where the sonographer needs all her concentration.
Your children are of course welcome to come along to any other ultrasounds. We have set up a play area for them in our waiting room. However, keep in mind that it can be distracting, especially with a longer ultrasound. You cannot bring your children with you if they are ill or have other infectious ailments: they could infect pregnant women.
The fees can be seen on our website under the heading "make an appointment". The fees are stated for each fun ultrasound.
This ultrasound can be scheduled between 25+0 and 30+0. The best period is usually between the 26th and 27th week of your pregnancy.
Unfortunately this is not possible. There may be computer viruses on the flash drive that could end up on our ultrasound equipment. You can purchase a USB flash drive from us for €8.50. You can leave the USB flash drive with us to add any subsequent ultrasounds to the same flash drive. Once you’ve taken the USB flash drive home, it may no longer be used at a subsequent ultrasound for the same reason.
You can park in the entire street in front of the clinic. Please note: it is paid parking!
There is a bus stop across the street from the clinic.
An early pregnancy ultrasound at your own request can be scheduled with us as early as 7 weeks pregnant. From this term there is a good chance that a beating heart can be seen.
It is wise to always come to the appointment with a (partly) full bladder. The assistant and/or sonographer can then tell you whether you can go to the toilet before the ultrasound or not. With most ultrasounds it is better if the bladder is (partly) filled since the baby will probably be better visible.
The ultrasounds can only be paid for by debit card prior to the ultrasound at the receptiondesk.
Unfortunately, this is not allowed due to GDPR legislation. You can purchase a USB stick from us for €8.50 on which we can put the photos and a video without sound.
If you are registered with a midwifery practice, the reports of the ultrasound will be forwarded to them. What is discussed with the sonographer and/or assistant in addition to the ultrasound is not shared.
If you have a medical indication for an ultrasound, the midwife will tell you. If you don't have this but are curious how your baby is doing, you can schedule a fun ultrasound with us. This is not a medical ultrasound, so we are not allowed to make any statements about the growth and health of the baby. But if we encounter something that deviates from a normal situation, we will of course take further action.
The 20-week ultrasound is designed to look at your baby's health from head to toe. At the end of the ultrasound, if desired, we can look at the sex of your baby.
If you do not yet know which IUD/IUS you want to have fitted, you can find information on our website or via: www.anticonceptie.nl. If you are unable to find an answer, you can contact your local GP for more information and help with your choice.
Yes. Both the hormone-containing IUS and the copper IUD can be fitted while you are breastfeeding. However, the uterus is slightly softer due to breastfeeding, which we take into account during fitting. If we think it's not advisable to fit the IUD/IUS, we will stop the procedure and reschedule it at a later time.
The IUD/IUS can be fitted from 10-12 weeks after your pregnancy. This is the standard at our clinic for either a vaginal delivery and after a caesarean section.
This is sometimes preferable since your cervix is a bit softer and the fitting of the IUD/IUS is usually easier. But it certainly doesn't have to. We recommend that you take a painkiller before the fitting.
An ultrasound is made both before and after the fitting of the IUD/IUS. Before the fitting, we look at the position of the uterus and whether there are any visible details that could influence the fitting. Afterwards we look to assess whether the IUD/IUS is in the correct position in the uterus.
The fitting of the IUD/IUS is reimbursed in most cases, since the fitting falls under the basic health insurance. You must first pay the costs of the IUD/IUS yourself. You can submit the invoice to your own health insurance company afterwards. With some health insurance companies, the costs of the fitting are deducted from your excess. Always check in advance what you can expect from your health insurance.
It is normal that you can experience abdominal cramps or a nagging feeling in the lower abdomen after the fitting. This is usually short-lived. In addition, during the first three to six months after the fitting, you may experience some problems with irregular and/or extra blood loss and abdominal cramps. Contact your local GP if you have any questions or encounter problems.
It is preferable to come without your baby during the fitting of the IUD/IUS since it can cause extra stress or tension when your baby is restless. This stress could prevent a successful fitting. You cannot bring your children with you if they are ill or have other infectious ailments: they could infect pregnant women.
Immediately after the fitting, an ultrasound is done to see if the IUD/IUS is in the right position. You can come back for a check-up appointment around 6 weeks after the fitting or subsequently after your first menstrual period. The position of the IUD/IUS will be checked again through a vaginal ultrasound.
Unfortunately this is NOT possible. This is done via your local GP or via ways explained in the public health screening leaflet.
This is possible at our clinic. The test will be done during the IUD/IUS fitting. You will then receive the results within 3 working days from the research center to which the test has been sent. The costs for this are €80.
