Giving birth in UK
I've been reading a few old posts and just wanted to clarify a few things.
I currently live in Saudi Arabia (that forum is way too quiet) and pregnant. Was considering giving birth here as the hospital we go to is very good and I like my doctor but seeing as there is a huge delay on passports for newborns here and because of citizenship issues I think going back to Scotland is best. Am I correct in thinking:
1. I won't be charged for birth because I have lived abroad for less than 5 years.
2. Should I go to the doctor's while I'm back in Scotland for summer and explain my situation or wait until I go back for birth (November time)
Has anyone had any recent experience of this (particularly in Scotland) and is it okay just to show up and explain my situation? We do have insurance and it's not about trying to cheat the system, if we have to pay we have to pay and I'm sure our insurance would cover part of it. I just don't know what to expect. Thanks!
