Respect for the individual needs of each patient
Our mission is to be by your side, supporting you and your baby throughout the unique journey of motherhood. From the very first months of your pregnancy to the precious moments after birth, we do everything possible to provide attentive, personalized, and safe care.
We understand that every pregnancy and every birth are different, and we are committed to respecting your choices and listening to your needs, while answering all your questions with care and compassion.
A multidisciplinary approach
Thanks to our expertise and our intra- and inter-hospital collaborations, we are able to tailor our care to your specific needs, whether you are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, complications arise, or you require enhanced medical monitoring.
Together, we create a safe and supportive birth environment, where every member of the team works collaboratively to ensure your comfort and that of your baby.
This allows you to move forward with peace of mind at every stage, feeling confident and fully supported, so you can experience this exceptional moment in the best possible conditions.

Giving birth in motion with epidural: a new childbirth experience at H.U.B.!
Since 2026, expectant mothers have been able to give birth vaginally at H.U.B. with a walking epidural. This innovation provides effective pain relief while allowing mothers to remain mobile during labour. Mobility supports the natural progression of childbirth and improves maternal comfort, while maintaining a high level of safety for both mother and baby.

Our brand-new maternity ward
Visiting hours at the maternity ward of Erasmus Hospital – H.U.B.
To ensure maximum rest for the newborn and their parents, we recommend prioritizing visits once you have returned home.
However, visits are allowed under the following conditions, with a maximum of four people in the room at the same time:
The maternity ward is located on the 2nd floor, route 328.
Co-parent of the newborn (or a designated support person in the absence of the co-parent): 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Please note that additional fees will be charged for the co-parent.
Newborn’s family members (siblings, grandparents, uncles/aunts): from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, 7 days a week.
A clinic accredited since 2008
Erasme Hospital promotes an obstetric approach that is as minimally invasive as possible. This is reflected in the 2024 rates of episiotomies (2.9%), cesarean deliveries (16.4%), and instrumental deliveries (8.3%), which are among the lowest in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. In fact, half of all births take place without medical intervention. Respect for the mother–child bond is at the heart of our approach, including in the case of cesarean delivery. The Obstetrics Clinic has held the “Baby-Friendly Hospital” (BFHI) label since 2008.

Le Cocon – Your birth suite
Within the Obstetrics Clinic, Le Cocon offers a prenatal care program with a specially designed birth space managed by our midwives. It allows expectant mothers to experience a natural birth in a reassuring environment similar to that of home.
This concept, known as a “birth lodge,” is the first of its kind in Belgium to be integrated within a hospital. In this space, which is both safe and free from medical intervention (except in the case of complications), women can experience their pregnancy differently and give birth naturally.
