37) My birth story : Reflecting on Expectations vs. Reality with Emma

At the beginning of the year, Maren shared her personal birth story, showing that sometimes things don't go as planned—and that's okay. Birth stories are unique, and while they may not always fit the picture we imagined, they help us connect, grow, and reflect. Today, we welcome Emma, an ADHD coach and advocate for women, to share her birth story. Emma's experience may be different from what many of us in Amsterdam expect—where home births are often promoted and even encouraged by insurance packages—but her story is an important reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to bringing a baby into the world.

Emma discusses how cultural expectations, past experiences, and personal preferences led her to choose a clinical, sterilized environment over a home birth. She also reflects on her journey and how her perspective has evolved, giving us all an opportunity to think about what we truly need to feel safe and supported during labor. This episode is a powerful example of how each story, no matter how different, can help us navigate motherhood with compassion and understanding.
