Women have long searched for a pleasing birth, a birth that ends with a healthy mother and baby gazing into each other's eyes. For women in the Netherlands, such a birth is defined as one at home under the care of a midwife. Looking at the Dutch notion of maternity care, this work documents the way culture shapes the organization of health care.
