Research in Generation R of Erasmus MC shows that the very first phase of pregnancy can be a very decisive period for the health of the child later in life. The professional organization of midwives (KNOV) has been campaigning for years to raise awareness of a healthy lifestyle among expectant mothers. Many midwives therefore offer a consultation hour especially for women who want to become pregnant.

Pregnancy consultation hour: for a healthy pregnancy

The first weeks in the womb are crucial for a child’s later health. Midwives have emphasized for years the importance of a healthy lifestyle of the expectant mother (and her partner) for the health of the child. That is why many midwifery practices offer a consultation hour for wishing children to point out the influence of a healthy start of pregnancy to expectant parents. However, these consultation hours for children are not yet well attended. Women are not yet well aware that the first stage of pregnancy is already crucial for the health of the baby. Mothers-to-be don’t adjust their lifestyle until the pregnancy test is positive and often don’t contact a midwife until then. The professional organization of midwives seizes the research of the Erasmus MC to inform women and their partners about the need for a healthy lifestyle before conception

Healthy lifestyle mother ensures healthier child

Mieke Beentjes, vice-chairman of the Royal Dutch Association of Midwives (KNOV) and midwife herself, emphasizes in the Algemeen Dagblad and the Show Today program (Friday 24 January) the importance of awareness before pregnancy: “A healthy climate in the uterus not only affects the pregnancy, but also the later health of a child. Smoking, alcohol, being overweight, these are all factors that reduce the chance of getting pregnant. We advise women who want to become pregnant to go to a consultation hour for a child wish. Make sure you’re in good health when you get pregnant.”

Become pregnant? Healthy living now!

Mieke Beentjes is therefore very happy with the research in Generation R of Erasmus MC. This research shows that the very first stage of pregnancy is a very important phase that can determine the health of the child later in life. With this study, the professional organization of midwives wants to emphasize once again that women should start living a healthy life before they want to become pregnant. So: take folium, eat a healthy diet, don’t smoke and don’t use alcohol or drugs. Women who want to become pregnant can get more information about a healthy pregnancy at the oldenburger frauenarzt consultation hour. Pregnancy care should ideally start earlier than in the tenth week of pregnancy, as is now customary. It would be better if the care already started before conception: preconception care. That is the whole of measures to promote the health of the expectant mother and her child, which – if they are to be effective – should preferably be taken before conception Learn More
