Jonathan's story
It’s unfortunate that as a partner, you don’t often get the chance to tell your side of the birth story. Understandably, the woman’s experience is paramount but for me the birth was certainly the most extraordinary experience of my life, intense, emotional, difficult, exhilarating, beautiful and life-affirming. And it is usually those positive adjectives that cut short my story when I tell it to other people. They smile wryly and interrupt to ask if Marianne found it so positive. I feel chastened and shut up. But perhaps the partner’s story is valid also.

Beate's story
Instead we opted for a local curry place, the old traditional curry method!
Stephanie’s story
When I fell pregnant with my first child I found out that I would benefit from the Midwife in the Community (one-to-one) Scheme. I liked the idea of a personal service and felt very lucky when I had my first appointment with Marijn. It was a great start to the adventure and made me feel confident about the future. Throughout the pregnancy I had regular visits during which all examinations and necessary tests were performed, always accompanied with full and extensive information. Marijn had the time and presence to explain things and was always available on the phone if I needed more details (I used to come up with questions after the appointments!)
