From Hotels Magazine:
Expectant mothers in Ireland are making the recession work for them by booking special deals in luxury hotels for their post-natal care, in preference to expensive stays in private maternity hospitals.
A growing number of pregnant women are avoiding the large bills associated with consultant-led private treatment by opting for free, communitybased midwifery services. Some are then using the savings to book into hotel suites within hours of giving birth, getting top-level after-care for far less than a stay in a private hospital due to the special deals on offer in the hospitality industry.
