Maternal Health - Accommodation

Will the Home Office move me from my accommodation whilst I am pregnant?

Expand
Wherever possible, pregnant women should only be moved once, whilst they are pregnant, unless they specifically request relocation or have specific accommodation needs.

Relocation in the late stages of pregnancy should only be undertaken either at the request of the applicant or her treating medical practitioners. If such a request is made, it must be made in writing.

Late stages of pregnancy will be defined as normally running from six weeks before the Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD), i.e., at least 34 weeks pregnant, and until a clinician has signed off on the postnatal checks. The latter will usually be around six weeks after birth unless there have been complications.

If there is a plan to move you during your late stages of pregnancy, then contact your accommodation provider and Migrant Help.
