Our hearts and prayers go out to those who were affected by this horrible act of terrorism on our country. My name is Kirsten and I gave birth to my first child Wouter on september 6th 2000.
First stage is managed by hospital midwives.
All belgian hospitals have high intervention rates, and the women I talked to before getting pregnant were often unhappy with their treatment. So I decided that this would not happen to me if I ever got pregnant. Then, on december 28th 1999 it happened, I saw 2 little lines appear on the test stick. He ofcourse was rather shocked as he never imagined me giving birth anywhere but in hospital. We went to our first antenatal visit when I was about 8 weeks along.
