In this folder we give you practical tips, because you are (almost) leaving our hospital. We appreciate it if you leave the suite between 9.30 and 10.00 AM on the day of your discharge due to the flow of families from the delivery suites.
Prescriptions
If you need a prescription before discharge, it will be sent to the pharmacy. You can pick it up before you leave at the outpatient pharmacy on the ground floor or (upon request) at your own pharmacy
Maternity Care
Please do contact your maternity care organization after the birth, so a maternity nurse can come to your home on the day of discharge. You will receive documents for the maternity nurse with all the important information concerning your pregnancy and birth.
Maternity bed
During the maternity period a midwife or general practitioner (GP) will visit your home. The documents for the midwife and GP with all the important information concerning your pregnancy, birth and post-partum period will be sent digitally. We will inform your midwife of your discharge.
Civil status declaration
The birth of your child must be registered within three days of the birth date. The day of birth itself is not counted. If the last day of the three-day period falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is extended by one day. You may register the birth if you are one of the parents or if you were present at the birth. In the municipality of Delft, you can make an appointment for the registration via the website 'www.gemeentedelft.info' or by calling 140 15. The registration can be done online if both parents have Dutch nationality and a DigiD. For the registration, you will need your identification documents, marriage certificate, or recognition papers. If you grant the hospital permission to send your details to the municipality, you will not receive a birth certificate from the hospital.
Consultation Office
Make a birth notification as soon as possible via the website www.jgzzhw.nl. Once the notification is received, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment for the heel prick and hearing screening. These should be done between the 4th and 7th day after birth, so it is important that the notification is submitted by day 3. If you have any questions or issues earlier, you can call the contact office at: 088 - 054 9999.
Follow-up
If you gave birth in our hospital on medical grounds, you will receive a check-up appointment for six weeks after delivery with the obstetrician/gynecologist. The appointment will be sent to your home address.
If this is not necessary, you will have a check-up with your own midwife who supervised your maternity bed.
Follow-up check at the pediatrician
If the pediatrician has examined your child after the birth, the pediatrician will determine whether and when your baby will return for follow-up. This appointment will then be sent to your home. Do not forget to have a patient card made of your child before the appointment. The parents’ proof of identity is required to register the baby.
Health insurance
Notify your insurance company of the birth. Then your child will be co-insured.
Information after epidural analgesia
If you experience any of the following symptoms after the epidural analgesia: renewed loss of muscle strength, difficulty urinating or incontinence of defecation, severe back pain, severe headache (which weakened when you lie flat), fever, neck stiffness or inflammation of the puncture site. Please contact your midwife.
