Living abroad wan't to deliver my baby in UK

[jenni11]

Hi
I need help and advice please on how to go about this as I am so loss over the whole thing. Here's the situation.

I am from uk (british citizen with a british passport but i was not born there). I am currently married with someone not from UK. We have been married for 6 months now and been living with him (in his home country) all this time. I am now 11 weeks pregnant and I'll like to have my baby there in UK. Personally i don't mind at all having him/her here but after reading online the disadvantages of mum having a different passport from her son/daughter i'll just prefer having her there.

My question - will it not be a problem with the law if go back now been outside UK more than 3 months? If it will be possible i want to go back on my 13 week register my pregnancy, gp, and everything and come back to stay with my husband untill i am about 26, 30 weeks..is that possible and won't be any problems with the law?

Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

I can't take credit for giving you any links! I was just being nosy really!. I get that you feel British and it would be very odd to think that your child would be unable to live in UK if you are entitled to.

Hi jenni11 Like I said in my earlier post I did go back to the UK to have my baby in December. I flew at 34wks and it was fine, but the flights weren't all that long (although I was on my own with my 4yo and 2yo!). I did need to show a doctors certificate so bear that in mind - I would probably get one if you are visibly pregnant when you fly. Also re booking in, I happened to be in the UK when I was 12 wks so I booked in then, had a scan etc and told the midwives that I'd be out of the country until I was 34 wks. They were totally fine with that and just said to contact them as soon as I got back. Hope it all goes well for you.

just to add to the thread, some GPs and hospitals will ask how long you have been resident and others don't. It probably depends on how familiar they are with newly arrived patients and their awareness of NHS rules. SO don't assume you won't be asked.

Also, in terms of entitlement to things like child benefit, tax credits, unemployment benefits etc etc, you also have to wait a long time (can't remember how many months) before you are entitles, regardless of your nationality and the number of years you have paid UK tax and NI. You may not need any ot=f those but you never know how difficult and how long it can take to get a job back in the UK. It also doesn't matter whether you have children to feed We found this out the hard way on our return to the UK when it took us longer than expected to get work. So plan ahead for that too and be sure you can rely on your parents to help if need be, OP.

excuse the typos

Hi, it's my first time posting on here i would like some advice please hope some be able to help, I am due in January 2018 me and my husband are both British citizen's, at the moment i am in pakistan as my mum is here and wanted her to be with me when my first born arrives .
Now once baby is born after few weeks I want to go home back to London but my baby will not have passport do I have to apply for British passport at British embassy here(pakistan) if so how long would it take also is it best to get temporary passport and apply for proper passport once I'm back??
Sorry for long post I hope someone can help.many thank in advance.

OP I get your concern and yes I would go back to the U.K. if you want your DC to have British citizenship. Just be very aware that while you can use the NHS you will need to pay for your treatment as you are not currently a British resident. The cost isn't prohibitively expensive for either a vaginal or c section delivery. Just call your local GP and hospital you intend to deliver at to ask them for the costs.

I'm also British via descent as I was born in a commonwealth country with parents living in the UK and I identify as British. I'm beyond pissed off with the current rules because it does discriminate against those caught up in the tail end of colonialism.

Oops didn't fully read your post about intending your return to be permanent. If it is permanent then you qualify for free NHS. Just be aware that you will need to prove your return is permanent so you mighty want to get your DHs visa application in before you return to the UK.

If you are not working I would look to return before 30 weeks if it's a flight longer than 6 hours. After that it's all a bit uncomfortable.

OP's baby is now 7 so it's a bit late for the advice.

whoever reanimated this zombie needs to start their own thread.
