Meet Regina Curran - the Irish midwife to the stars

Suzanne Harrington meets the Irish midwife working at London’s exclusive five-star maternity hospital.

Want to celebrate your new arrival with Bollinger and oysters, providing the £995 epidural has worked for you, and your newborn is elsewhere in your deluxe suite being cared for by a nurse when you’re getting your hair done?

While most of us will have heard of the Portland — the private hospital in London dedicated to the care of (wealthy) women and children, where a suite can cost over two grand a night — not many of us have ever been there.
