“Hello, I\u2019m Madelon Janssen. In 2012 I graduated as a midwife and since January 1st<\/sup> 2014, I have been working as midwife and ultrasound technician at midwifery practice \u2018\u2019Vol Verwaching\u2019\u2019. Within the practice, I can pay full attention to the future parents, and accompany them during the pregnancy, delivery and in the maternity weeks.<\/p>

I am a mother of two wonderful boys (2016 and 2018). This made me experience what it is like to be on the other side of the job – a very special experience. My pregnancy was not always easy and comfortable. My deliveries on the other hand both went rather smoothly, with the help of my colleague Tea, both of my boys were born at home. Due to my own experiences, I can empathise even better in experiencing pregnancy and the accompanying questions. I understand that it can make you insecure at times. It can be very nice to be reassured by a familiar face who can guide you from experience.<\/p>

Our midwives\u2019 care is accessible, which is very important to build trust. Confidence in yourself and in your midwife is very important to go through your pregnancy, delivery and postpartum properly.<\/p>

In 2020 I followed the training for conception and IUD placement together with my colleague Tea, which is a nice addition to our profession and makes the care even more complete.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I have been working as a midwife since 2012 and since 2014 I have been working in the midwifery practice \u2018\u2019Vol Verwachting\u2019\u2019 as a midwife and sonographer with great pleasure and satisfaction.<\/p>

We are a small-scale and accessible midwifery practice. I think it is important to be able to offer all the attention and time to the mother-to-be, so that you, as a pregnant woman and partner, feel safe and heard in a surrounding that you trust. Our goal is to build a bond and to ensure that you can look back on this special and intimate period with a good feeling.<\/p>

In September 2016,\u00a0 March 2020 and May 2022, under the great guidance of Madelon, I became the mother of Jesse, Hugo and Valerie. I’ve had completely different pregnancies and deliveries. The first was a happy pregnancy with a difficult, the second was a less pleasant pregnancy with a smooth home birth, which was what I wanted, and the third was a difficult pregnancy \u00e1nd delivery…Although, for all of them, I thought it was a very special experience. Being able to experience pregnancy and birth myself has meant that I can empathize even better as a midwife.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My name is Evi Rooijakkers and, as of October 2025, I will be delighted to join the Vol Verwachting team.<\/p>

Pregnancy has fascinated me from an early age. It is a special process and I find it rewarding to guide (expectant) parents through it. The small-scale and accessible approach is something that appeals to me. I believe it is important to be able to devote sufficient time and attention so that you feel safe, heard and at ease. Together, we will build a strong bond, with the aim of ensuring that you can look back on this special period with fond memories.<\/p>

I look forward to meeting you. See you soon!<\/p>

Hi! My name is Zo\u00eb, and I live in Helmond with my boyfriend and our little dog. I\u2019ve been happily part of this great team since April 2026.<\/p>

I find it truly special to support expectant parents in a personal way throughout the entire process of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. It\u2019s important to me that every expectant mother and her partner feel welcome and heard, so that together we can look back on this beautiful and special time with fond memories.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you during this special time!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My name is Jade. I am a mother of two and have been working in maternal care for many years. In my role as an obstetric nurse, I have gained extensive experience in the field of obstetrics and support women and their partners during one of the most special moments of their lives. Personal attention, calmness, and trust are central to my approach.<\/p>

Since May 2025, I have also been part of the Vol Verwachting team as a practice assistant. In this role, I combine my medical knowledge with organizational and support tasks, and I serve as a trusted point of contact for expectant mothers and their partners. It\u2019s a valuable addition to my work where I can fully utilize my experience, dedication, and enthusiasm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
