After seven months I finally got to write about something I experienced with my second child – a home birth. A home birth is a wonderful experience and a great option for many mothers-to-be. The birth of my first son, who was born in a hospital, was a good experience for our family. However, it ...
Scandinavian countries are famous for being welfare states but I when we moved to Denmark and were about to have Maciej I wasn’t aware that the support of the state for families with children also spreads out to the private sector.
