PLACE OF RESIDENCE AND PLACE OF DELIVERY
Among the 97,718 pregnant women, 12.7% lived in Brussels, 54.6% in Flanders and
32.3% in Wallonia.
Pregnant women delivered most frequently in the region where they were living.
However, table 13 shows that in Brussels there were 32% more deliveries than
pregnant women. In Flanders and Wallonia there were respectively 64,9% and 73,3% of
the pregnant women living there who deliver in the region of residence. Then, we can
extrapolate that the additional number of women delivering in Brussels live mainly in
the adjacent Vlaams or Wallon Brabant provinces which are very close to Brussels.
