Your maternity period
Information
Our new maternity care centre at Máxima Medisch Centrum in Veldhoven is now open.
We warmly welcome you to one of our eight beautiful, homely rooms, offering a calm and carefree start for you and your baby.
The birth of your baby is one of the most special moments in your life: intense, beautiful and filled with new emotions and experiences. While your body recovers and you begin getting to know one another, it can be comforting to spend the first few days in a peaceful and safe environment.
Our maternity rooms provide exactly that sense of calm. Your recovery is our priority, supported by experienced maternity nurses, with professional care close at hand and plenty of space to adjust to your new family life.
Suitable after every birth
Whether you have given birth at home, as an outpatient, or in hospital, staying in one of our maternity rooms is always possible. A maternity room offers a gentle transition to life back at home, with support, guidance and personal attention exactly when you need it most.
Here, you can recover together, adjust to your new routine, and build confidence before starting everyday family life at home.
A peaceful transition home
No matter where you gave birth, at home or in hospital, a maternity room is the ideal bridge to your own home. It gives you the opportunity to recover and settle into family life with expert support nearby.
You will have the time and space to learn how to care for your baby, ask questions and relax together.
It is a soft landing: a place where you can bond, cuddle, and grow in confidence before returning home.
