In March 2016, bump2babe sent a comprehensive survey to the 19 maternity hospitals/units and 2
midwifery-led units in Ireland. Responses were returned between March 2016 and May 2017. Here bump2babe
provides you with the opportunity to read the complete survey responses. In some instances, minor
modifications were made to the responses (e.g. replacing clinical terms with more user-friendly wording).
The information provided in this Guide is as was provided to us by the maternity hospitals and units but
please check with your caregiver to see if there have been any recent changes to services, polices or
practices.
Blank spaces indicate no information was provided by the maternity unit.
