[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that our agency has au pairs sign a contract that ends their participation in the program if they get pregnant. They are expected to return home immediately if they become pregnant. My understanding is that the au pair agency doesn't want responsibility if there are pregnancy complications or bed rest. Au pairs have to leave the country if they can no longer perform their au pair duties (i.e., childcare) and the same complications that would stop them from working could also stop them from safely flying home. So if they had serious pregnancy complications, they would be in a foreign country with little to no support network, no financial means to fund US bed rest or a hospital stay, no place to live, and no visa. And overstaying their visa is a big no no. It's just a bad situation. If an au pair does have the support of an American father, there are other visa options, but those are outside of the scope of the au pair program.[/quote]
