    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.

    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)

    The medical statistics for pregnancy for the Netherlands are better than for Portugal. Perhaps the resulted of the so called paracetamol approach?

      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.

      It would be interesting to know and I would not be surprised if they differ significantly

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

      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.

    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 ? )
