During pregnancy, the mother provides the baby with all the nutrients needed for optimal growth and development. These nutrients create the foundation for his or her health in later life. A sufficient supply of the proper nutrients is also beneficial for the health of the mother, such that the pregnancy and delivery go well and that the recovery after childbirth is fast. A healthy diet before, during and after pregnancy plays a crucial role in both your health and that of your baby. The midwives at Mundo consider a healthy diet to be very important and therefore offer their clients the possibility of consulting the dietitian.
During your intake appointment, your current diet, medical history, lifestyle, health issues, goals and possibilities will be looked at in detail. Next you will receive personal nutritional advice that corresponds to your lifestyle: on what you can improve, on what to eat and not to eat and on dietary supplements. You will always get a summary of this advice on paper or by e-mail as well as an example of a daily menu that is adapted to your needs. During follow-up consultations, the dietitian will elaborate on the nutritional advice and determine if changes are necessary. Together we will evaluate your experiences and the dietitian will advise you on how to continue by yourself in the future.
The Dutch basic health insurance covers three hours of nutritional advice. Please note that the costs will be subtracted from the deductible. Supplementary insurances might cover extra consultations. Please consult your insurance policy’s terms and conditions or get in touch with your health insurance company for clarification. The costs that are covered by the basic or supplementary insurance will be settled directly with your insurance company. Please be aware that the billed time consists of direct time (the amount of time that an appointment lasts) and indirect time (calculating and working out the nutritional advice, administration and reporting).
In principle, you do not need a referral to consult the dietitian. However, CZ, Delta Lloyd, OHRA and de Friesland do require a referral for the reimbursements of the costs of the consultations. You can ask your GP for a referral.
