Where will Kate give birth?Daily Mail
The palace has confirmed that Kate will give birth to her second child at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London. This is the same place where she and William joyfully welcomed Prince George into their lives almost two years ago. Prince William and Prince Harry were also born in the wing.

The Duchess has been staying at her new country home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall, but plans to return to their London home Kensington Palace.

If she happens to go into labor before her return to London, contingency plans have been put in place at other hospitals – Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge and the Royal Berkshire, which is close to Kate’s parents.

The Lindo Wing opened in 1937, and was extensively refurbished in 2012, just in time for George's arrival.
Hello! Magazine
The maternity unit in the Lindo Wing consists of 16 rooms: five for labor and 11 for postnatal care. Although the rooms clearly have the requirements of any modern hospital, the wing in general has the facilities of a top-tier hotel.

Who will deliver Baby Cambridge #2?People.com/Express Newspapers/AP; Toby Melville/PA/AP; Inset:Mark Cuthbert/UK Press/Getty
A top medical team has been put in place to welcome William and Kate's second child into the world. The royal doctors heading up the elite squad include Alan Farthing and Guy Thorpe-Beeston. They are very familiar to the royal couple as they were present for Prince George's birth almost two years ago.
The rest of the team may include neonatologist Sunit Godambe, an anesthetist and a team of midwives. Last time, Kate reportedly had a team of four midwives helping her, led by Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent, professor of midwifery at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

On a side note, Marcus Setchell, who led the team last time, won't be there. He retired shortly after the birth of Prince George.

This time around, the press and public are banned from the street outside UNTIL the Duchess has been admitted to the hospital.

The palace said it will confirm when the Duchess has been admitted to the hospital for labor via email and Twitter.
