This can be done using the so called ‘klossen You can also use beer crates or a (safe) design of your own. Klossen you can rent at Vegro

If it is not possible to raise your own bed to this height, then you can raise another (single/spare) bed in the house to this height to be used during the birth and/or kraambed (week after the birth).

Make sure you have a bed ready at this height from 37 weeks pregnancy. This must always be done, also when you are planning to give birth in the hospital!
