We've provided the maternity week since 2010, with a team that together speaks fourteen languages and tailors care to cultural and religious customs.
Our care runs from the intake meeting and home visit to labour, the maternity week at home, support with feeding, and aftercare.
Feel comfortable before and after the birth.
At Kraamzorg Believe, care starts as soon as you sign up, with personal guidance from the intake meeting at the office through to the aftercare. If you don't speak Dutch well yet, we'll see if someone from our team speaks your language.

If you'd like support during labour, we'll discuss beforehand what's possible and when to get in touch with us. We listen to your wishes, because every labour is different. We can do this together.
View labour →Every mother deserves the same care, and it helps if you can talk about it in a language that feels familiar. That's why our maternity carers come from different backgrounds, and together we speak fourteen languages.
What we want is for you to feel, after eight days of maternity care, that you can do it yourself. That you know how to feed, care for and read your baby. We're here to teach you that, not to take it over from you.
We can do this togetherWe provide the maternity week for families in Nijmegen and the surrounding area. Dutch, Turkish, Armenian, Moroccan and Syrian families, and families who have only just arrived here and don't yet know their way around. Where you're from or what language you speak at home doesn't change the care you receive from us.
Together, our maternity carers speak fourteen languages. That means we can explain things in a language that feels familiar, and coordinate care clearly with you, the midwife and other care providers involved. That collaboration brings peace of mind and makes sure everyone knows what matters.
We're also there in vulnerable situations, for example for families in an asylum seekers' centre or a mother-and-child home. It's precisely there that we work closely with the support workers and care providers involved, with extra attention for calm, safety and trust.
If a family has little room to buy everything themselves, we look together at what's needed and, wherever we can, share practical baby and maternity items.
Care tailored to you means we adapt to your family. To what you eat, to who comes through your door, to your faith, and to how you want things done.

Sign upDuring the intake meeting at the office, we take the time to talk everything through with you: what you expect, what you're used to and what you're anxious about. After that, we schedule a home visit, so we can see at home what else is needed.
Breastfeeding is something very personal. That's why we take the time for latching, positioning and feeding, with attention to what feels right for you and your baby.
In partnership with Medela, we offer breast pump equipment and pump kits. If extra guidance is needed, our breastfeeding specialist can come and take a look on location. That way, we build a good and manageable start together.
A maternity carer assists the midwife during labour and makes sure that, in the days after, you can recover and enjoy your baby. Meanwhile, she teaches you everything you need: feeding, caring for your baby, and reading your baby's signals.
We tailor care to your situation, with attention to your personal, religious and cultural background. Every maternity week is different, so we'd rather ask what you want than assume.
Our care is available 24 hours a day, including at night when needed.
