Cees was born at home.
Home birth is a lot more common in the Netherlands than it is in the States.
Here in the States every one seems to assume that of course you will give birth in the hospital. Actually with Cees, I wanted to give birth in the hospital. When I just got pregnant, I thought about it and decided I wanted my first kid in the hospital, and then I would reconsider with subsequent kids. I felt that would be the best decision for me, and would be safer for the baby. But then the months went by and I started reading and thinking more about it.
