In the Netherlands, you can (in most cases) choose whether to give birth at home, in the birth center, on an outpatient basis, or in a hospital. Your choice may be influenced by the course of your pregnancy and delivery. Together we will discuss where you want to give birth. Your wishes and situation determine the final decision.

Think in advance about where you want to give birth
Thinking about where you want to give birth before giving birth is good. The choice of delivery place depends on your preference and situation. It is important that you feel comfortable and that you can relax as much as possible. We may advise giving birth in a hospital for medical reasons.

You may have thought about it so well in advance, but it can still open differently at the time itself. Sometimes you have to go to the hospital for medical reasons (this happens in almost half of the births of a first child), or you actually want to go to the hospital but still feel comfortable at home.
