Because London is a perfect destination before having a baby

Are you pregnant and would you like to treat yourself to a last relaxing weekend before giving birth? London is perfect

For months, the press did nothing but talk about Meghan Markle and her pregnancy: from the (very expensive) baby shower to her appearance, everything was a waste of bellies, predictions and gestures analyzed under the microscope. But you know why she is London, where Prince Harry's wife lives, the best pre-baby destination?

“Baby-meons” – a neologism has even been coined to indicate the period leading up to the birth of a child. And her "baby-meons", Meghan Markle, spent almost all of them in London. The English capital seems perfect for the weeks before childbirth, to the point that the prestigious Visit Britain website has listed all the reasons. Starting with places to have fun: There are many alcohol-free bars in London., starting with the Redemption Bars in Shoreditch, Covent Garden and Notting Hill: their apple-flavored piña colada promises to be superlative. Or Shoredict's Nightjar: three of her "mom's cocktails", among which the Seedgroni Sbagliato triumphs.

But in London there are also many opportunities for “future mothers” to stay in shape: there are Yoga classes for Pregnant Women to relieve pain, improve circulation and prepare mind and body for future life as a mother. And there are the Spa treatments dedicated to those who wait: If you choose to stay at the Connaught Hotel you can undergo leg and back massages to relax your pregnancy-weary body, while the Mandarin Oriental offers a full body scrub, called the Refine and Comfort Wrap, which uses nail polish and a clay mask for the benefit of stretch marks.

Finally, during a weekend in London during pregnancy, it is possible to treat yourself to a whole day of pampering at the Berkeley: the Mother-to-be package is designed for mothers in the second and third trimester and promises to leave the hotel completely regenerated and beautiful!

But, relaxation aside, in London there are various activities that even a tourist mother in the last months of pregnancy can do. For example, A few stairs are enough to reach the View from the Sharp, where the highest bar in the city is located and from where you can enjoy an impressive view (perhaps while eating ice cream, or some delicious cakes).

Or you can treat yourself to a cruise to see the city from the river: during the Thames River Lunch Cruise in London, encouraged by a three-course lunch, enjoy aper 90 minute cruise and you will pass Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe and the Tate Modern.

So, if you want to treat yourself to a weekend alone or as a couple, London is the perfect destination in Europe.
