<x-tad-smaller>Absolutely! I know I love to be with my family, but throw in great meals, a spa bath and a midwife to help in an environment where I would do nothing but rest and care for bub, not home where the washing is piling up and the other kids are getting bored. Hmm, why not a luxury midwifery led post natal unit? Surely the health funds would pay for that? B&B with a kids club and a midwife on call, sounds like a lovely babymoon.</x-tad-smaller>

I could be on the wrong track here..... but perhaps at the bottom of all this is some women's desire (maybe subconsciously) for something special (the 5 star hotel) to acknowledge what an amazing person she is to be a mother and to have birthed a baby. Unlike some other cultures, our society as a whole doesn't seem to value mothers very highly. "What does she do? Oh she just had kids......" Even women themselves often identify themselves as 'just a mum' or 'just a housewife'.
Maybe if women were acknowledged and celebrated in other ways for the wonderful work they do in birthing and mothering and provided with excellent support, staying in a 5 star hotel wouldn't be so appealing.
Cheers

<x-tad-smaller>The woman who best markets midwifery is Caroline Flint in the UK. We should copy her marketing strategies. MM</x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-smaller>Kelly says..If we want women to accept and value the midwife then it needs to be marketed better, it needs to be trendy and jazzed up! Not just a choice being two sides of the fence with opposing views as it is now. And they want to know what it will do for THEM and what THEY will get out of it. At the moment there are very many women who do not see birth as something that needs to be in the home or is safe in home – that’s just a fact which we have to work on.</x-tad-smaller>
