Birthing Experience

 

The birthing experience that has touch my heart was the enjoyment of my three children being born and the birth of my two grandson. The birth of my first grandson is the most memorable because I was two hours away when my step daughter went into labor. I drove 90 mph to get to the hospital, When I got to labor and delivery I was able to watch the birth of my first grandchild. I watch as the his head crown until his feet came out.  I stayed until it was time for him to go the nursery. I chose this experience because I was able to participate in a lot of areas of his child development.  I watch him grow up with a speech impairment and grow to where he has a 3.2 grade average.  Reading to him nightly help his brain develop and providing him with a stable home live help his growth and social development.  

In the Netherlands when you find out that you are pregnant you have many choices in the way you would like for your baby to be deliver from hospital or home birth.  With the Kraamzorg type of deliver you will have to chose a midwife to help with delivery.  The midwife will see you on monthly visit to check the baby heart rate and growth.  At 12 weeks the mother will need to register and be assigned a postnatal nurse.  The nurse will help care for your other children and your health needs.  The midwife will help with delivery of the new baby and decide if you can have the child at home or in the hospital.
