Our midwife organizes workshops on various topics for this purpose, which you can sign up for
- Do's and Don'ts during pregnancy
- Childbirth
- Alternative ways to suppress pain
- Breathing and relaxation exercises
- Possible medical interventions
- Breast or artificial feelding feeding
Caring for your baby
Developing a birth plan: is it worthwhile? Will it make me feel better, and how do I do it?
Sometimes it is also necessary to receive some extra guidance for various reasons. For example, the previous delivery may not have gone as you had hoped, or you may be dealing with some fears or uncertainties.
You may also be looking for an alternative way to manage the contractions. Our mindfulness physiotherapist organizes workshops on mindfulness in this regard.
Childbirth
Naturally, you would like to know how everything works on site, especially if you are not familiar with the hospital. Therefore, we recommend planning a visit to the hospital in advance.
We are affiliated with 2 hospitals:
The Chirec Delta hospital at Ouderghem where Dr Pastijn and Verduyn are working.
We usually recommend making an appointment with the midwife at Delta at the end of the second trimester or the beginning of the third trimester. Our secretary can arrange this for you, or you can already take a look via this link.
Via this link You can download the maternity brochure via this
The St Peter's Hospital in Brussels, where Dr Danon, Maes and Vasseur do their deliveries.
If you are giving birth at CHU St Pierre, you can obtain more information via this link .
Labour
Before your baby is born, you will experience contractions necessary to open the cervix. Our labor sessions explain what exactly happens, how to cope with the pain, and when to go to the hospital. We answer questions such as: "From when should I definitely go to the hospital?" "Do I need to notify that I am coming?" "What exactly are contractions?
Childbirth
The second stage of labor is shorter but more intense. During these sessions, we explain how a delivery can proceed and which positions you can adopt. We also discuss the important role of the partner and answer questions such as: "How long can it take?" "Who is allowed to be present?" "What happens right after the birth?
Alternative ways to suppress the pain
Deliveries are often accompanied by pain, but there are various techniques to manage this pain. During our sessions, we discuss five different techniques and give tips to better manage the pain and avoid an epidural. The presence of the partner is recommended as they can play a supportive role.
Breathing and relaxation exercises
Breathing is an important tool during labor. Our breathing and relaxation exercise sessions teach you the right breathing techniques to manage the pain and relax your body. Partners are encouraged to participate so they can work as a team during the delivery.
Postnatal counselling
Breast or bottle feeding
The choice between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding is personal. During our sessions, we discuss how breastfeeding works, how to address problems, and provide tips on feeding, positions, and infection prevention. For mothers who cannot or do not wish to breastfeed, we also discuss the possibilites of bottle-feeding and how to do it safely and effectively.
Follow-up of Newborns
"What is a good body temperature for a baby?", "What precautions can I take to prevent sudden infant death syndrome?", and "What to do with a crying baby?". We ensure that you are well prepared to take care of your newborn.
Hospital visit
It is helpful to have seen in advance where your delivery will take place. During a hospital visit, we show you how your stay will proceed. This helps you feel more comfortable in the environment where you will give birth.
Semi-urgent postpartum consultation
The pelvic floor indeed takes a lot of strain during childbirth, and it is important to acknowledge this and get proper care. A good start means good self-care, and this includes the proper treatment of the pelvic floor, even in the early days.
For this reason, we have decided to open our doors for a semi-urgent midwife consultation, so you can turn to someone with expertise, and where the perineologist can assist if things are a bit more complicated.
Some facts
The three major ultrasound examinations during pregnancy, also known as structural ultrasounds, are intended to provide a detailed look at the fetus's development at different stages. These examinations provide valuable information about the baby's health and growth, as well as any potential abnormalities or complications. The main goals of each of these examinations are described below:
1. Terminal ultrasound (around 12 weeks):
- The first ultrasound examination, also known as the dating ultrasound, is usually performed between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy.
- Purpose: The dating ultrasound is used to accurately determine the gestational age and establish the due date. It involves examining the size of the fetus and the development of important structures such as the heart and brain.
2. 20-week ultrasound (around 20-22 weeks):
- The second major ultrasound examination is the 20-week ultrasound, which usually takes place between 20 and 22 weeks of pregnancy.
- Purpose: The 20-week ultrasound, also known as the structural ultrasound, is intended to examine the fetus's anatomy in detail. It involves assessing all major organs and structures of the fetus to detect any abnormalities early on. This includes the heart, brain, spine, kidneys, face, arms, and legs.
3. Growth ultrasound (around 30 weeks):
- The third major ultrasound examination, the growth ultrasound, is usually performed around 30-32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Purpose: This ultrasound is used to monitor the growth and development of the fetus. It involves checking the size and weight of the fetus, the growth of organs, and other important parameters. It helps detect any growth delays or other issues that could affect the fetus's health.
These three ultrasound examinations play a crucial role in monitoring the health and development of the fetus throughout pregnancy. They allow for the early detection of any abnormalities or complications, enabling appropriate care and possible interventions if necessary.
NIPT stands for Non-Invasive Prenatal Test. It is a screening test performed during pregnancy to determine if there is an increased risk that the unborn baby has certain genetic abnormalities, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13).
What makes this test special is that it poses no risk to the pregnancy, as it is performed in a non-invasive manner, specifically through a blood draw from the mother. In the mother's blood, DNA from the unborn child circulates, which can be analyzed to check for an increased chance of genetic abnormalities.
It is important to understand that NIPT is a screening test, meaning that a positive result does not definitively mean the child actually has a genetic abnormality. In the event of a positive result, further testing, such as a chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis, is often recommended to confirm the findings.
The NIPT test can be performed from the 12th week, around the same time as the first major ultrasound.
A sugar test during pregnancy, also known as the glucose tolerance test (GTT) or the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), is used to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Gestational diabetes occurs when a pregnant woman has high blood sugar levels during pregnancy, usually due to hormonal changes that increase insulin resistance.
Here is how the sugar test during pregnancy typically proceeds:
1. PreparationThe test is usually performed between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy. The woman is asked to fast, meaning she should not eat or drink (except water) for 8 to 12 hours before the test.
2. First blood drawAt the start, blood is drawn to measure the fasting blood sugar level.
3. Drinking the Glucose Solution: Next, the woman must drink a glucose solution that contains a concentrated amount of glucose (usually 75 grams). This drink can be sweet, and some women may experience temporary nausea.
4. Second blood draw: After drinking the solution, blood is drawn again after one hour (and sometimes after two hours, depending on the hospital's protocol) to measure the blood sugar level.
5. Interpretation of results: The blood samples are analyzed to determine how well the body processes the glucose from the drink. If the blood sugar level is too high after drinking the glucose solution, this may indicate gestational diabetes.
If the test is positive, meaning the blood sugar level is too high, the doctor will likely recommend further tests and monitoring. Gestational diabetes can be managed through diet, exercise, and sometimes insulin injections if needed to control blood sugar levels and prevent potential complications for the mother and baby.
It is important to emphasize that not all pregnant women develop gestational diabetes, but it is an important screening test to detect it early in women at increased risk.
In Belgium, vaccinations during pregnancy are recommended to protect both the expectant mother and the unborn child. The most common vaccinations given during pregnancy are:
Flu Vaccine (Influenza Vaccine)::
This is recommended for pregnant women, especially during the flu season. The flu can cause serious complications during pregnancy, so the vaccine protects not only the mother but also the baby after birth.
Tdap Vaccine (against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis)::
This vaccine is recommended during each pregnancy, preferably between the 24th and 32nd week of pregnancy. It protects the mother against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, and ensures that the baby has some protection against pertussis at birth. Cocoon vaccination is also recommended, meaning everyone in close contact with the baby should also be vaccinated.
Belgium follows the recommendations of the High Health Council (HHC) regarding vaccinations during pregnancy. These recommendations can be updated periodically based on new scientific data and health risks.
Pregnant women are advised to discuss their vaccination schedule with their gynecologist, especially if they have questions or concerns about vaccinations during pregnancy. The goal of these vaccinations is to protect both the mother and the child from infectious diseases that can cause serious complications during pregnancy and the postnatal period.
Exercise and physical activity during and after pregnancy are important for the mother's recovery and overall well-being. Here are some key points to consider:
During pregnancy:
Regular Exercise::
It is generally recommended for pregnant women to continue exercising regularly unless there are medical reasons not to. Suitable activities include walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, and light strength training. Women who were very athletic before pregnancy can continue to exercise if their doctor gives them the green light.
Adjusting to Pregnancy::
As pregnancy progresses, some exercises may become less comfortable. It is important to listen to the body and adjust activities to changing needs and physical capabilities.
During pregnancy, certain activities and habits are strongly discouraged or even forbidden due to potential risks for both the mother and the unborn baby. Here are some things to avoid:
Smoking, vaping and alcohol:
Smoking and consuming alcohol during pregnancy increase the risk of complications such as premature birth, growth retardation of the baby, congenital abnormalities, and developmental problems.
Drug abuse:
Using illegal drugs or certain medications not prescribed by a doctor can have serious consequences for the baby's health, including dependence and developmental issues.
Raw or Undercooked Foods::
During pregnancy, avoid eating raw meat (such as carpaccio or tartare), raw eggs, and undercooked meats as they may contain bacteria or parasites harmful to the fetus. Your doctor can test whether you are immune to toxoplasmosis, and if so, eating raw vegetables may not be a problem.
Too Much Caffeine::
Too much caffeine can increase maternal blood pressure. It is therefore recommended to limit consumption of caffeinated drinks to a maximum of 200 mg per day during pregnancy.
Extreme sports:
Sports such as skiing, mountaineering, or contact sports are generally discouraged during pregnancy due to the risk of injury for both the mother and the baby.
Certain Medications::
Some medications are harmful to the baby's development and should be avoided during pregnancy. It is important to always seek advice from a healthcare provider before taking medications during pregnancy.
Postnatal Recovery Period::
Immediately after birth, women need time to recover, especially if there were complications during delivery or a cesarean section. It is normal to take it easy during this period and gradually resume activities.
Postnatal Exercises::
After getting approval from your gynecologist, start postnatal exercises to strengthen muscles, especially the pelvic floor muscles, which were stressed during pregnancy and childbirth. Exercises such as Kegel exercises, light aerobics, walking, and yoga are very beneficial. We recommend that all our patients start pelvic floor exercises with physiotherapists no later than six weeks after delivery.
Listening to the body:
Every woman has a different recovery pace after childbirth. It is important to listen to your body, watch for signs of fatigue, pain, or discomfort, and adjust or reduce activity if necessary.
Consultation with your gynaecologist:
Before resuming more intensive sports activities, it is essential to get approval from your gynecologist and physiotherapist, especially if there were complications during pregnancy or delivery.
General guidelines
Hydration:
Ensure you drink enough water, especially if you are breastfeeding.
Gradual build-up of your physical activity:
Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of exercises to avoid overloading.
Pelvic Floor Training::
These exercises help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which are often stressed during childbirth.
It is always good to seek individual advice from your gynecologist or midwife, who knows your medical history and personal circumstances, to ensure the chosen activities are safe and appropriate for your situation.

Gynaecology
The core of our approach also revolves around the personal aspect. We strive to ensure that everyone is seen as much as possible by their own doctor.
After all, over the years, we build a relationship based on mutual trust, where we, as doctors, can share the joyful moments together but will also be there for you during the difficult times.

After all, over the years, we build a relationship based on mutual trust, where we, as doctors, can share the joyful moments together but will also be there for you during the difficult times.
However, if it is urgent and you cannot wait for an available slot, we can occasionally offer you an appointment with one of our other colleagues if you wish.
During these consultations, the focus is on cancer prevention as well as general health and infection prevention. Later, this will also include the promotion of physical activity and tailored therapies, especially if you are approaching or have reached menopause. We all know that we will age at some point, but we want to help you do so in the best possible way.
We do all this by applying our own medical expertise, possibly supplemented by that of one of the other group members. It is indeed important to work as a team and share knowledge for your benefit.
Our combined knowledge will help you with the use of advanced technical examinations such as colposcopy, vulvoscopy, hysteroscopy, and specialized ultrasounds, helping us to make the correct diagnoses and start the appropriate treatments.
Some of these examinations are conducted at our second location, also in Zaventem.
Pelvic floor problems-Pelvic Care Center
Pelvic floor
problems
Functional pelvic floor problems can be addressed according to a carefully designed multidisciplinary care pathway at Mirha Pelvic Care Center .
Pelvic floor problems are very common, and more than 60% of women will experience them at some point. Often, we see patients presenting with a single complaint, such as urinary incontinence.
During the consultation, we often quickly notice that several other pelvic floor disorders are also present. These various conditions, however, require a specialized approach.
We have chosen to establish a carefully determined personalized care pathway, continuously tailored to the specific needs of each new person.
Although some problems can be resolved by a single specialist, we offer multidisciplinary consultations with various specialists together if needed..
