Meanwhile, Maxime is still in shock, she says. “It was so intense. I haven’t slept in two days. I still have pain in my neck and shoulders. But luckily all is well with the baby. That is the most important thing.” Maxime says she is 35 weeks pregnant with her first child.
Saturday afternoon around 3.30 pm in Habbekrats, a women’s clothing store at 320 Ootmarsumsestraat in Almelo, the ground literally sank under her feet. Suddenly, in the back of the shop, Maxime went through the tile floor. A moment she can’t remember. “I only remember seeing a nice cardigan hanging. Then it went black before my eyes.”
