ECB15.1 What happens on arrival in the UK? wrote:Information about what happens on arrival in the UK can be found at UK Border Agency.

Under certain circumstances the Immigration Officer (IO) has authority to cancel an entry clearance and refuse entry to the traveller. (Paragraph 321 of the Rules).
Is pregnancy is a reason for refusal?

In first place, what is duration of pregnancy?
I guess, every flight operator has some policy after certain weeks of pregnancy ( around 9th month)..
You won't be allowed to fly in first place..

A bit earlier than the 9th month, usually!

But it's an airline, not an immigration, issue.

Thanks for reply.
She is 3 months pregnant.
I heard in London they do medical test and then after that I am worried for refusal for EC due to her pregnancy.
Could you help?

EC cannot be refused / cancelled because of pregnancy.
