After you have given birth you can start thinking about birth control. Every woman’s body is different and has different needs and wishes concerning birth control. That is why it is good to discus which forms of birth control/contraception there are and which one fits you best. We talk about this at the end of your maternity period and during the 6 week follow-up consultation after your delivery. For the different kinds of birth control and how they work, you can click here. Click here for information in many languages.
Have you already thought about birth control and do you want an IUD? At EVA van Hoorn we can place/insert your IUD.

consultation
During the birth control consultation we discuss which forms of birth control there are and what may suit you/and your partner the best. By combining your wishes, and possibly medical indications, you can make a wel informed choice.
If you have been under the care of our midwives during pregnancy, then this consultation falls within our care. The consult will take place 6 weeks after you have given birth during the follow-up consultation.
Are you not familiar with us or do you want this consult without having had a pregnancy, then you can also schedule a consult with us. You can call us at 0229-217019 to make an appointment. We will reserve 30 minutes for a consult with you. See below for the rates.
In our practice we place the copper IUD and a hormon IUD: the Mirena and the Kyleena.

You have chosen an IUD, you are more than welcome at our practice.
Sanne Anepool (midwife team red), Linda van Dam (midwife team blue) or Fabienne Bergsma (midwife) can place the IUD. This way you have a familiar face during the placement.
You receive a confirmation from us about your appointment. Read this carefully, there are useful tips on here.
Good to know:
- We write out a digital prescription for your choice of IUD. Because it is digital, we need permission to link the file of the pharmacy that supplies the spirals and your own pharmacy.
- In your email you will receive the invoice with a link to pay through IDeal. You can then submit the invoice to your health insurance company.
- The correct IUD is then sent to us. We do not have IUD’s in storage.
- The costs for the placement can be found to the right under ‘rates’.
- The costs for the placement are declared with your health insurance provider by us. If your insurance does not cover this, then you will receive an invoice from us.
We have experienced that there are some insurers that are not willing to cover the costs of an IUD/IUD placement by a midwife. Luckily more and more insurers do cover this. If you want to know for sure if your health care insurer covers these costs, contact them beforehand. The costs of the IUD are seperate from the costs of the placement.
- A follow-up check will take place 6 weeks after the IUD has been placed, at no extra cost.
- An ultrasound check is possible and allowed, this is an ultrasound at your own expense. These costs are stated under ‘Rates’. You have to pay the costs at the ultrasound technician. If you want an ultrasound, it is preferably scheduled 6 weeks after placement. You can schedule an appointment with the assistant for this.
Do you have any more questions? Do not hesitate to contact us, by phone or by email. We will happily answer your questions.
The costs for placing an IUD will be submitted by us at your health insurance. More and more insurance companies reimburse the placement of a IUD by an obstetrician/midwife. If it turns out that your insurance does not, you will still receive an invoice. If this occurs during the follow-up 6 weeks after the places is already known, the amount can be payed during the check-up.
If you want to be sure in advance whether the placement will be reimbursed, you can contact your insurer.
