Hi
Thank you for your question.
My name is ***** ***** I will do my best to help you
I am afraid that you have no rights whatsoever until the baby is born - so if she wishes to leave the country then there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
However once the child is born then the baby has the right to contact with both parents and the courts will enforce this if necessary
I hope that this is of assistance - please ask if you need further details
