Coronavirus  (COVID 19)

Update Coronavirus  

• From 11-4-2022 on, the midwifes will not ware a mouthmask anymore. Feel free to ware one if you choose so
• Do you have Corona-related complaints: have yourself tested and consult with us before you come to the midwifery centre
• Due to the type of examination, no children are allowed to be present at the prenatal screening ultrasounds at 13 weeks and 20 weeks

Vaccination during pregnancy
All pregnant women are advised - to be vaccinated, preferably with an mRNA vaccine. You can read more information on the RIVM website

Protection of baby after mother vaccination
Newborn babies are protected against infectious diseases by the antibodies they receive from their mothers through the placenta. These antibodies slowly disappear in the months after birth. We do not yet know whether this is also the case for the antibodies after corona vaccination, but that seems plausible.

Fertility, IVF Treatment and Vaccination
Vaccination does not affect fertility and placental formation. This is evident from the studies (so-called toxicity studies) that have been carried out by all vaccine manufacturers.

Breastfeeding and vaccination
There is no evidence that the vaccine passes into breast milk and can reach the child through breast milk.

No effect on the pill or other contraceptives
Vaccines do not affect the effectiveness of the pill or other contraceptives. And conversely, the pill or other contraceptives do not affect the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Urgency

Emergency and delivery care will of course always continue, so just call us if you have any questions or complaints. Because 040verloskunde works with several teams, unlike the average midwiferypractices, we can always cover the continuity of care. The midwife is always there for you and will work with you to assess whether an extra check-up is necessary.
You can ALWAYS call with questions or concerns!
