A trusted practice with a renewed perspective on midwifery care

Femme Midwives has been a known name in Den Haag for 25 years. We’re located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of HMC Westeinde hospital, easily reachable by tram, bus and car.

Our story

25 years trusted in Den Haag

Our practice was founded at a time when midwifery care was approached mainly clinically. We wanted something different: care in which the woman is at the centre, with personal attention and clear explanations.

In the years since, we’ve seen generations of women come through. Sometimes first for their own pregnancy, later with their sister, a friend or their daughter. That trust is what drives us.

We’ve given Femme a fresh look, without losing what has always mattered: personal care, clear communication and a trusted place where you can bring your questions.
