Hello,
We are expecting our first child and were hoping someone can recommend a hospital that they have recently had a baby in? I have heard a few horror stories and are struggling to pick one!
All advice is welcome
Many thanks

I was very happy with the Whittington. They were the closest hospital for me to get to, which was very important to me, more important than going to the swish UCLH.
The midwives were great, offering community based appointments (ie, somewhere closer to home than the hospital).
And when it came to birthing, they were great. I opted for the birthing centre, which was lovely, but due to complications I had to be rushed up to the mat ward, but they were really efficient, and quickly helped a safe delivery. The ward afterwards was noisy, but that’s to be expected. I had hoped to stay in the birthing centre as they have private rooms, but it wasn’t to be!
I've worked in a lot of London hospitals, including all the ones mentioned, and what it comes down to is the mws that you have on the day. Postnatal wards aren't great in any of them really. Most now allow the partner to stay over.
It's not obligatory. But I agree, everyone gets more rest when everyone is home.
