Natural Home Births Are Standard

Many couples worldwide prepare and choose the facility and plan to deliver their baby. In The Netherlands, this is far from the norm because the Dutch’s idea is to keep childbirth as natural and organic as possible. Unless there is a need for medical attention, it should be managed by midwives in the comfort of the home rather than physicians in a hospital setting.

In the Western world, the Netherlands stands out, with an impressive 30 percent of births occurring at home. Giving birth alone is already painful, but women in this country don’t resort to medicine to relieve pain.
