No 1, no airline is going to allow a heavily pregnant woman to fly with them

Of the countries you've named, only one the US grants citizenship by birth alone but it won't get you citizenship in the US - you would have to wait until the child was an adult, had lived in the US for a period & then petitioned for you to join him/her in the US.

In the UK & Australia, the child would have to take your nationality.

If you were to give birth abroad, you would be landed with massive hospital bills to pay for your medical treatment - people have been stopped at Immigration before trying to exit a country without paying their medical bills.

The country that issues a passport will have to decide if the baby merits that. If you're born in the USA, you can have an American passport. Some countries may not have the same view.

The concomitant issues are- Will you be allowed to fly if you're visibly pregnant? Will you be allowed to remain in the US (or UK or Australia) long enough to have your baby? I can't answer these questions.

Good luck!

If you are a Saudi Arabian citizen and had a child in the:
US the child would be a US citizen and could NOT be a Saudi Arabian citizen as Saudi Arabia does not allow dual citizenship in most cases and none for children.
If born in the UK or AU the child would be a Saudi Arabian citizen. Neither country ives citizenship based solely on being born there (Jus Soli)
Your citizenship and passport wouldn't change in any case.

This of course is assuming the father is a Saudi Arabian citizen.

It would be possible for the child to have dual citizenship, yes. However, this can be extremely difficult, depending on the country.

Your child has a birthright to citizenship in its parents' country of citizenship. You would need to register the birth with your consulate and obtain a passport for your baby from your country.

Parents derive NO citizenship or immigration benefits from their child.

A few countries allow citizenship based on birth within the country, but since you cannot remain in that country, you still have to get baby a passport from your country and take it home.

If you are from Saudi Arabia, you want to ensure your baby does NOT have a US passport. Too dangerous. There are other places now where it is a bad, even dangerous, idea to have a US passport. Take at look at the Mumbai bombings, where the muslims took all the US & British passport holders hostage.

Actually, if you are pregnant, you are going to have a great deal of difficulty getting into one of these countries. You will be turned away at the border/immigration and forced to return to your own country at your expense.

The person who said that the child takes the parents nationality that is by far from true. If the child was born in the UK and REGISTERED in the UK then the child is British. But that doesn't mean you can get a passport. Besides, airlines won't let you fly if say you were due in a week or 2 because there is no guarantee you will return to your own country. This is an illegal way of staying in a country. Have your baby at home, stop gunning for everyone Else's legitimate rights.

Would it get you a passport ? NO.
If the child was born in the US he would automatically be a US citizen but you would have to apply for the child passport.
If born in the UK ? he would be a saudi arabian citizen.
Saudi Arabia does NOT allow dual citizenship.
Birth in Australia does not give citizenship.

In the US Canada and Mexico Yes. In Australia and the UK No as at least one parent has to be permanently resident (settled, landed, the terminology varies) in the country which often takes five years or more. Each country has a different set of rules. But in US, Mexico and Canada it is automatic based on place of birth.

Saudi law may not permit dual nationality but those three countries do allow it, and the Saudis cannot make the child lose its citizenship, at least, not under US Law.
