Sounds like the netherlands is really poor in comparison with Portugal - dutch healthcare isn't as great as some people claim from my own experience. (at least in terms of the quantity of checks they provided / advice on supplementation which is critical for the development of the child)
In Japan, there's a checkup with echo every month until the last 3 months. After that it's every 2 weeks. The father being present is extremely rare and at the same time have the epidural (no pain) is even more rare and cost 800 euro option because, you know ... will know, pain is what make you feel a mother and the epidural is a luxury
Thank you so much for sharing. It is very interesting to know how different they do things in Japan. I really appreciated that in The Netherlands the father is encouraged to be as present as possible and that woman have the option to choose pain relief without a significant financial impact.
Unfortunately the crappy wages in Portugal are making people to flee OUT of the country. And Portugal is decaying decaying decaying decaying decaying. It´s a bankrupcy place. I got out of Portugal several times. I returned back just to try on again again maybe it was my mistake. Definitively i was right. So . Nothing else to say. Good country for millionaires ( is it ? )
I'm not familiar with the statistics and if the conclusions include the differences in approaches, but I do hear that The Netherlands has a very good healthcare system in regards to pregnancy. The doctors in Portugal who were familiar with the Hospitals in The Netherlands only had positive opinions to share.
Mmmm interesting it seems as if you approach pregnancy as an illness. because what are you going to do if it's not right?? more pills? folic acid and taking good care of yourself should be enough to have a healthy child. look at countries where this is not possible at all to be monitored, many healthy children are still born there. Oh and why do you think you have to wait so lang in Portugal?? Maybe because every pregnant woman is handeld like a patient? And that why they are overworked?? Could be? I wish you a beautiful and healthy child and you a healthy happy mother! Enjoy! Your body can so much more than you think!!!
Unfortunately folic acid and taking good care of ourselves isn't enough for a lot of pregnant woman. Many of these cases can be identified and treated/controlled due to the preventative care and constant monitoring. I also think more factors can explain the service in Portugal, I would not attribute it directly to how they approach pregnancy. Maybe low wages, lack of labour, poor infrastructure etc Thank you so much for your good wishes!
In my experience, in regards to pregnancy, I really didn't feel this. I was very impressed with the fast response and at home support pregnant woman have if they think something doesn't feel right.

@@mafaldaboers How much is the epidural in the NL?
I wonder what the difference is between Germany and the Netherlands.....
It would be interesting to know and I would not be surprised if they differ significantly
@@mafaldaboers significantly you say?! I'm on a new mission to find out 🤔🧐

Very good for tourism :) And for sure it has seen better times. Hopefully it will improve in the future!
Congratulations and all the best for the upcoming time.
Thank you!
The medical statistics for pregnancy for the Netherlands are better than for Portugal. Perhaps the resulted of the so called paracetamol approach?

In NL they will help if you're dying but for all the rest you're better of with Google.
