Hello
I will be moving shortly with my husband to London (tier 1 visa)
I would like to know if the fact I am pregnant (week 16) will have any effect on my rights in NHS etc...
Thanks for your help

My wife moved to the UK when she was pregnant too ( as my dependant, me being on a work permit). It will not have any effect on your rights. You can get NHS care just as any UK citizen would. Just be sure to register with the local surgery as soon as you come in. The NHS is very good for pregnancies, so do not worry.

Her question is relevant as she is asking if her moving on a Tier 1 dependent visa will have any effects on her right to treatment in NHS. Plus why are you poking your nose into topics that have no relevance to you. Read your signature again.
Yup is free

Hi sushdmehta,
Don't worry, your still cover by NHS.
My wife come to UK pregnant (week 24), and I am Work Permit holder. She still cover by NHS.
But, please register with doctor as soon as you arrival and have some of the pregnant record from your doctor in your country will help the doctor in UK follow-up your case easily
