As soon as childbirth, the Kraamzorg system is put into place. Care is given to the mother and her baby.
This intimacy at home allows a building of confidence and a gradual adaptation within the home and with the other members who compose it.

My story
My name is Nathalie, a French lady living in Amsterdam since 1989. Love brought me to the Netherlands and in 1994 my son was born, Michel.
My original profession is costume designer for theater, before I started my education in maternity care in 2003.
I endured my pregnancy with trust. That this is part of my nature was to my advantage. I trusted the people tending to me and was overjoyed I got to give birth at home. Breastfeeding was also a discovery and it went by naturally, lots of waking up at night with a hungry baby who needed a lot of attention, catching up on sleep during the day and seeing my child develop. It made bonding together very valuable.
My childbirth at home was a special experience. That is when I witnessed how complete the Dutch health care system is surrounding childbirth. The ability and loving care of the midwives and maternity nurses inspired me especially. I decided to also choose this profession.
