Village Vibes: Planning a Second Home Birth in the Netherlands: Helen’s Story

What happens to your birth plan when there is already a little one at home? In this installment of our Village Vibes series, we’re joined by Helen, a mom of two from England living in the Netherlands, to share the raw and real story of her second home birth.

Helen takes a warm, honest, and direct look at the logistical and emotional puzzle of birthing at home while managing the needs of her firstborn. We discuss the transition from the "ideal" birth plan to the reality of labor, the unique strength required to stay present, and how she navigated the Dutch maternity system as an international parent. Whether you are currently pregnant with your second or weighing the pros and cons of a home birth, Helen’s journey offers a roadmap for resilience and a reminder that every birth story is a vital piece of our collective village. Have a story of your own? Reach out—we’d love to feature you.
