About the Event

Amsterdam doula & matrescence coach Ilena Standring presents a comprehensive roadmap to guide you through what you can expect during pregnancy, birth and beyond here in the Netherlands.

We will address together the myths and urban legends about home birth, pain medication, postpartum Mary Poppins (kraamzorg!), midwifery care, birth hotels, hospitals with power showers and/or birth pools, how many days you have to choose a name for your baby.....and much more in between!

  • Do you know the difference between "1st and 2nd line care"?
  • Do you worry about the availability of an epidural?
  • Are you concerned that nobody has seen your cervix yet?
  • Wondering how it will feel to jump into an Uber with a baby thats a few hours old?
  • Let's walk through it together, step by step.
