Birth Control

As midwives, we specialise in the female body. It is therefore logical that we also offer support with the choice, prescription and placement of contraception.

Even if you have not been a client of ours, you can come to us for contraception

Every woman's body and needs are different. So it is good to discuss with us what forms of contraception are available and which form suits you best. During the final maternity visit, we go through the various contraceptive methods, together with your wishes, expectations and any medical indications, making sure we provide clear and honest information. This allows you to make an informed choice.

You can contact us for:

  • Contraceptive advice
  • Prescribing the Minipill (Cerazette) and the Nuvaring
  • Spirals (copper-containing or with hormones) prescription and placement
  • Hormone implant (Implanon) prescription and placement

Removal of spirals and hormone implant

We can remove your IUD/contraceptive rod Implanon. Please note! After removal of these forms of contraception, you are immediately fertile again. Consider another form of contraception or, if you want to have children, start taking a multivitamin with folic acid (Folate), vitamin B12, vitamin D, vitamin C and also Omega 3 immediately.

We sell multivitamins (as well as vitamin D, Magnesium and Omega-3 separately) at the practice.
