Our care

Birth support

The birth of your child is a unique and intense moment. A midwife is the care provider par excellence for supporting a normal labour and birth.

We provide one-to-one support, with attention to the medical as well as the emotional and mental side. Within our team this is offered by midwives Laurine and Liese.

What does it involve?

Staying home as long as possible in familiar surroundings
Support during contractions (positions, breathing, relaxation)
Medical follow-up and assessment of labour
Support at a hospital birth
Assistance at a home birth

The value of continuous support

Research shows that continuous support by a midwife during labour can contribute to:

more calm, trust and emotional safety during the birth
a lower chance of medical interventions (such as an epidural or instrumental birth)
a shorter or better-experienced labour for some women
a more positive recollection of the birth experience

In addition, partners often feel better supported and able to take a more active part in the birth, without feeling “on the sidelines”.

Our view

We believe birth is not a standard process, but an intense life moment that calls for care, calm and trust. By being continuously present, we can respond to what you need at that moment: medically, emotionally and practically.

Practical

Birth support is possible on specific request and is discussed together in advance. It requires a commitment from both you and the midwife and involves an extra investment.
