Entering the UK whilst pregnant?
Is it possible to be refused entry at UK passport control, if I am visiting the UK for 3 weeks to celebrate our wedding (to my UK husband)?
I worry that they will think I am attempting to move there to stay and make use of the NHS for giving birth but this is not the case. We live and work in Russia, so what if I take proof of work, return tickets, doctor's bills, etc., would it be sufficient evidence of my intent to return home?
Best Answer
As long as your passport and any visa/documentation is in order I see no reason to worry. I think you will find the passport control people to be courteous and professional. Your husband is British (by the sound of it?) so there should be no problem. You would be very unlikely to be stopped due to your pregnancy, pregnant women are treated with respect in the UK. If you have a return ticket there will be no reason to treat you suspiciously.

Answer 2
I've travelled while 6 and 8 months pregnant and I was never stopped for this reason. You should have nothing to worry about, but it's great that you prepared additional documents to prove your intentions to give birth in your home country, and not the UK.
