I went to Femme because of all the positive reviews and my friend recommended them having been there a year before me. I’m not sure what changed in the past year, but my experience was less than ideal. From the beginning, both my partner and I left each meeting feeling very overwhelmed and heads spinning with information. We gave feedback at this time but there still wasn’t improvement. Each time we saw the midwives we felt it was a negative experience with a lot of fear about what could go wrong and little warmth or empathy. I should also say that we have had a completely healthy pregnancy. One time one of the ultrasound technicians asked us in our 2nd trimester if I had a kidney in the front (I don’t) and we realized they must not look at our files before we come in. She also didn’t remember us from the first two times we had seen her. It’s funny looking back on it now but also shows how messy they were. Both my partner and I kept giving them more chances, but we were so dissatisfied with their lack of internal communication and, what seems to be a low morale among the team, that we switched midwives very late in the third trimester as we didn’t feel comfortable having them at our birth. I would not recommend them at this point.

First of all, I would like to point out that we did not use the service until the end since we had already planned to deliver the baby in my home country, so my opinion is based on the experience up until week 33 of pregnancy. We had a very positive experience with the whole team. This was my first pregnancy and they made it to feel special from the beginning. I think it is worth paying the amount they ask for as you get a very good service. Any time I had a question or concern, the team took it serious and helped us out with anything we asked for. I really like that they are very expat welcome, which means that they were very polite to understand concerns that might arose due to different health care system comparing to other countries. Also, the way they explained everything, every step, always taking into account the lack of knowledge that expats could have in this field. I love the way they approach the patients and the patience in every check. Also their disposal at any time. You can really feel that any of them have vocation to their jobs. I strongly recommend them, especially if you are an expat or you feel you need extra checks for your pregnancy as the Health Care System, in my opinion, has a lack in many of the checks and tests during the pregnancy.
I had a wonderful time with the team at femme. They were very receptive and understanding to my needs as a mother to be.
Giving birth abroad can be scary. Femme-Amsterdam took great care of me and the little one during my pregnancy. Very attentive and supportive, they answered all my questions and concern until the birth of my baby boy and even after! I would definitely recommend them. See you soon, team!
As I first time mother I didn't know what to expect from the midwives but I was positively surprised of the personal treat and follow up I had from Femme Amsterdam. I've had the best service possible and my experience was really positive, our midwives were always responsive and I was able to get advice from the Lactation consultant in record time. Totally recommend these lovely ladies!
