Have you thought, when considering the timing of a pregnancy, that if there is any delay with processing visas, you could get into a time when you NEED to get back to NZ, but your partner has not yet been granted a visa to go with you? Also, in the later stages of pregnancy, airlines will not accept a pregnant woman as a passenger (the timing varies, so check with individual airlines). Do you want to risk your partner having to cope with pregnancy and birth, possibly separated from you?
Yes I've thought on this just for when we do however see each other again and if falls Pregnant before we depart to New Zealand to anything as Such, And I Assure you i would never let my partner go through Birth or pregnancy without myself Physically there there to support, Just confirming though thank you
