<p>The Home Office will not necessarily be aware that a woman is pregnant unless she
chooses to make this known to us and a woman may not know herself that she is pregnant
when she is detained. It may not always be appropriate for healthcare professionals
to disclose information that the patient has asked not to be disclosed.</p><p>As of
19 May 2016 there were no pregnant women detained under Immigration Act powers in
an immigration removal centre or residential short-term holding facility, subject
to these conditions.</p>
