Just to add that as so many people have switched to public , you are 99% gauranteed to get a private bed now if you booked one. Semi Private only cost €1200 nowadays & Private €2300 so it's much more affordable.
Just a slight correction: depending on which maternity hospital you choose the scans are included in the price you pay to the consultant, this is different for different hospitals but in the Rotunda Private Clinic all scans are free.
