In this conversation, we discuss the differences between a hospital and a home birth. Julianna shares her birth stories and the insights she’s gained from her two experiences. Julianna advises expats debating whether to give birth at home or in the hospital to make their decision with knowledge rather than out of fear. This episode was recorded from the Eindhoven Centraal station in collaboration with Radio 4 Brainport.
