Maternity care is also covered by the RMO. This means that your guest is entitled to midwifery care and maternity assistance. When there is a (suspected) pregnancy, it is advisable to first visit the GP. The GP will then refer the pregnant woman to a midwife or, if necessary, to a gynecologist at the hospital. The midwife and/or gynecologist will provide guidance during pregnancy and childbirth. They will also inform your guest about matters such as registering for maternity assistance. The maternity nurse provides care and support to the mother and child during the first 8 to 10 days after childbirth.
