Pregnant UK citizen- fiance visa

I'm a UK citizen living abroad with my Filipino fiancé and I'm 5 months pregnant. I plan to fly home to have the baby in the UK and stay after it is born (where we are living is a developing country with poor healthcare and I don't want to give birth or take care of my new born child here). What are the chances of my fiancé getting a visa to come with me? I'm pretty sure I could find a job that pays over the £18,600 threshold eventually but as a single mother (for as long as my fiancé is not able to come to the UK) with a new born baby it is not going to be easy. Is our only option for me to find a job that pays that much or is there another route we can take? Is there anyway that having a child in the UK would help him get a visa? Any advice would be appreciated.

Any savings?

If not zero chance really. bit of a catch 23.

UK child won't help.

Not enough savings for what is required. The new immigration rules are ridiculous. They must be separating so many families.

I don't think returning Brits who are resident overseas automatically have immediate free access to the NHS when they return to the UK. So you might be asked to pay for the medical costs of delivering your baby.

I think this is being reviewed but don't think it has been changed as yet. And of course depends on the hospital implementing it I suppose.

Sorry its not good news but worth knowing about it I think

I read that only applies if you have been away 5 years. Is that true? Ive only been away 1 year and a half.

I had a quick look and certainly Citizens advice refers to being away from the UK for 5 years. Think they are pretty reliable, so looks like you will be fine, sorry to have caused concern and wish you well with your baby!
