Congratulations with your Pregnancy!

How exciting to be pregnant and to prepare for your new baby. Within this exciting period I would like to offer you my services as a maternity nurse.

Welcome to Kraamzorg Plus Den Haag

Kraamzorg Plus Den Haag provides professional maternity care in and around the city of The Hague to both Dutch and expat families. My help consists of support for the newborn’s mum and dad to recover  from the delivery and pregnancy and to assist you taking care of your baby. The baby will ask for a lot of attention and that can be quite challenging. It  might be nice to  feel informed and supported in the first week of your baby’s new life.   I aim to assist you in a pleasant and comforting way. I, Petra Blom of Kraamzorg Plus Den Haag, would like to provide you with more than basic maternity care.

I frequently work in Dutch families, expat- or multi-lingual families in and aroud The Hague.  I am used to working in an international environment. I speak French, English and German . Mum and dad’s Postnatal recovery and a good start for the baby would be priority. Together we will try to have a pleasant first week with your baby (and the rest of your family).

Kraamzorg is covered by your Dutch Health Insurance.

Basic Maternity care is covered by  all Dutch Health Insurances in the first postnatal week. A Contracted health care provider is needed. Kraamzorg Plus Den Haag has acces to those contracted health care providers. Your Insurance will charge a legal contribution per hour of Kraamzorg ( Wettelijke Eigen Bijdrage WEB) . Each year this contribution changes. Additonal Health Insurance would be needed after a long stay in incubator or hospital. These hours however are quite restricted and can be 12 hours or 15 hours. Each Additional Health insurance follows its own criteria. If you did choose for “Basis Verzekering” only without extras than the first postnatal week is covered and no extra services are included.
