News: Information about Corona virus (COVID-19), 30-9-2020

During the outbreak of the Corona virus, we will of course continue to provide care to all our pregnant women. We do have to take some control measures. We follow government recommendations from RIVM and KNOV/NVOG/NVK. 
Any updates will be shared with you as soon as possible. Please click below for updates.
If you are worried, we are always available, just as you are used to. We will then discuss with you whether an extra check is needed.

Because of the rising corona numbers we have some new control measures:

-Our assistant Karin will NOT be at the practice on Wednesdays. She can be reached by phone from 9.00-12.30. It is not possible to weigh your baby on Wednesdays.
-During office hours, your partner is welcome to attend the first appointment (intake) and the appointment for information about the delivery. Please come the rest of the checks alone. Don't bring your child(ren) of other people. If the waiting room becomes too full, we ask your partner to wait outside until your appointment starts.

We are a small-scale practice with commited and down-to-earth midwifes with years of experience. We like to take the time to give you personal care.

Welcome to the website of midwifery practice van der Hoopstraat. Our practice is situated in Amstedam West (Westerpark) at van der Hoopstraat 40A.

We offer our obstetrical care in the following areas of Amsterdam West: Westerpark (Staatsliedenarea and Spaarndammerarea), Houthavens, Centrum, Bos en Lommer, Oud West, de Baarsjes and Slotermeer. Together with a select group of other midwifery practices in Amsterdam West we own our own echocentrum (ultrasound center) at the Ite Boeremastraat. We work together with all hospitals in Amsterdam (OLVG-West, OLVG-Oost, Vumc, BovenIJ, AMC and Amstelland in Amstelveen).
