Its the general visit visa that we applied for, as you need to be a UKcitizen or ILR for family visit visa.
I guess the fact I explained about my father and grandmother did the trick and looks like the visa officer was also sympathetic towards pregnancy...
The docs i submitted are
Invitation/cover letter signed by myself and husband
Photocopies of passport and BRP (both of us)
Employer letter and 6 month payslips (both myself and husband)
6 months Bank statements
Tenancy agreement + Council tax letter addressed to both of us
Maternity MATB1 form (photocopy)
From my mother
Application form
Passport
6 months Bank statement
Travel insurance from ICICI
Photocopy of Affidavit (originally got this when applying for passport two months ago) to prove she is married to father (as they dont have a marriage certificate)
I think the take home message is, if you are honest and explain your situation clearly in the cover letter, they will provide the visa without any issue. I have seen many saying in forums that you shouldn't mention about pregnancy etc, but in my case that's the main reason for my mum's visit. I clearly mentioned that I am taking maternity leave and asked my HR manager to mention the same in their letter.

Was that a Family Visit Visa you applied for?
More surprising thing is they issued when you did not keep any supporting from your parents side. Hope they considered that your father is not traveling and they are definite that she will return because she need take care of your father..
Can you confirm what documents you sent, if you dont mind please
