I am aware they have some odd medical limitations in FI. ISTR you have to be G2 or G1 even to go there. I don't know whether the same applies to those finding themselves with child.

I also remember when I was down there a few years ago that one of the locals had an ectopic pregnancy that was dealt with in the local hospital. She was was then sent to Chile to a 'proper' hospital, but not surprisingly their facilities were worse than those on the Islands!

anotherthing is spot on. The MOD was damned either way.

I have to say that in every instance I have come across, pregnant members of my Service have been given every consideration, irrespective of rank.
