A few years ago I saw I a video clip about a woman giving birth, laughing and beaming with happiness… without experiencing any pain! I decided “this is how I want to give birth”.

Our first experience was giving birth to our son, in January 2007. He was born at the hospital. I had a very fast, easy labour. Especially for a first child.

In June 2008 we had our first homebirth, and again I went through labour without any pain! My labour was quick and easy; after two hours’ time, our daughter was born. At this moment, we’re expecting our third baby. This time (around Christmas) we will make a video clip of the childbirth, so that everyone can see what we mean by giving birth without labour pain. My experience makes me wish to share this wonderful way of giving birth with other women! I started my own company Painless Birth (in Dutch: Wonderbaar which means wonderful, but also, literally: wonder: miracle baar: labour).
