How it roughly goes.

Step by step, from first contact to a warm goodbye.

From first contact to a warm goodbye.

No strict schedule — a course that shapes itself to what's needed.

First contact

We get to know each other

Most families find me through word of mouth — a midwife, a friend, family. Sometimes through this website. However you find me: a quick call or message is always enough.

Around week 30 – 34

At your home

I come over for a relaxed intake. We talk about your wishes, anything specific, and how you imagine the postpartum week. Often we take a look at the baby's room together — for fun, not to check whether you're missing anything. Wondering what to have ready? See my birth & baby checklist.

At the birth

The first hours

Once labour starts, I'm reachable. For a home birth or short-stay clinic birth I assist alongside the midwife. Afterwards I come by for the first feeding, a check-up and a calm transition back home.

Day 1 – 3

The first days

The first days are about rest, recovery, and getting to know your child. I come by daily for around six hours. We find the rhythm together — no rushing, no strict rules.

Day 4 – 6

The rhythm that emerges

The rhythm slowly becomes clearer. Baby is learning to sleep and feed, mother is feeling stronger. We practise together what you'll soon do on your own — without pressure.

Day 8

Goodbye

The family stands more firmly on its own. Last tips, remaining questions, and a warm farewell. On day eight I say goodbye.

After the kraamweek

A call is always welcome

The week is over, but if you still have a question — about feeding, sleep, or how things are going — I'm still here.

Good to know.

When can I apply?

The earlier the better — ideally around week 12. That gives me room to plan the hours well.

What if I want a home birth?

Yes, absolutely. I happily assist alongside the midwife, both during and after the birth.

What if there are already children?

Older brothers and sisters belong fully too. There's rest, attention and room for them as well.
