Going home to give birth

Hi, I have been trying to find an answer about this but haven't found another post that is very clear.

Does anyone have experience of living abroad but going back to U.K. to give birth - but without having to pay?

We still have a house in the U.K. and I am still tax resident there. I am still registered with my GP. I don't work where we live in Switzerland. I have been going back to the U.K. every 1-2 months for a week or so, so I haven't been out of the country for more than 3 months at any one time (I read this was relevant?)

I may be able to attend some antenatal appointments in the U.K. but not all of them and I will need to have some of my care over here. The timing of when the baby is due (near Xmas) means I really do need to give birth in the U.K. if possible and I would go back a month before my EDD.

Does anyone have any experience with making this work? Will the NHS be alright with it? TIA

Had either you or DH lived in UK at any time for 3 years ? If so, what documents did you need to prove it ?
Thanks for posting and glad your birth experience was good in Switzerland.
