Hi... I'm 7 weeks pg and thinking about options, my doctor said I need to choose which hospital to see my midwife and give birth. This would be my first child hoping all goes well (1 previous MC earlier this year which happened while I was in another county so went to the local hospital there)
In my area (east Central London) I believe the options are Homerton or Royal London, she also mentioned a new birthing centre in the Isle of Dogs called Barkantine. I'm wondering if any ladies can share their experiences in any of these or if you have any advice on choosing? It seems a bit of a minefield to me I'm not even sure of the process, do I need to choose before my 12 week scan? Is the birthing centre just somewhere I would literally go to give birth or would I have other appointments there?
Thank you in advance
