31) Celebrating Cesarean Awareness: Your Options and Agency in the Netherlands with Dr Deurloo

In honor of Cesarean Awareness Month, we’re peeling back the curtain on surgical births in the Netherlands. Join Eva and Maren as they sit down with Dr. Deurloo, a renowned OBGYN at Utrecht’s Diakonessenhuis, to discuss a more human-centered approach to C-sections.

Dr. Deurloo is a leading voice in "mother-assisted cesareans," a practice where the birthing parent plays an active, physical role in the delivery. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at how the Dutch medical system prioritizes maternal agency, even in the operating theater. From the initial decision-making process to the specifics of postpartum recovery and skin-to-skin contact, this episode demystifies the procedure. Whether you are planning a C-section or simply want to be prepared for every birth path, Dr. Deurloo’s insights will empower you to view a cesarean not just as a medical event, but as a profound birth experience.
