Hi,
can anyone recommend which hospital is better for maternity? I’m super confused and need help! Thanks

Appreciate you may not be thinking along these lines but I had mine in Homerton which turned out to be a godsend as they needed to be in the NICU. Homerton has the highest level NICU which meant no need for transfer etc- obviously I wouldn’t wish a NICU stay on anyone but it’s not something that midwifes seem to talk about prior to birth. I pretty much flipped a coin between Homerton and Whipps and it genuinely saved my babies lives. Hope your pregnancy and birth goes well!! Xxx

Thanks so much. This is really useful. I found some reviews saying it was very busy - is that the case? This is my first

I've heard good reviews about Homerton but I've given birth twice in Queens and will be birthing my 3rd soon there again. I've had decent experiences there and it's location is convenient than driving far to another hospital.
