Re: I have a conditional green card expiring whilst I’m in uk
The fact that the OP is worried about losing her US status leads one to believe she has no Re-entry permit,
She is probably using the NHS for maternity services as she is living with her mother in the UK - she probably did not cancel her GP registration when she left - just picked it up again.

Which are?!?!?!
Honestly - how you expect the forum is improve by just saying 'they're wrong, but I won't say how' is beyond me and has been for a few years at this point.
If you had your way all the US section of BE would be is a single line:
'Consult an experienced immigration attorney. Furthermore deponent sayeth not'

You may want to take a look at publications from Nolo Press, a long time DIY advocate. Their books often have warnings on various scenarios that it is time to get a lawyer. OP is in such a situation.

Unfortunately, her situation is not cut and dried and at the very least, she in the UK or her husband in the US should consult with an experienced immigration attorney in regards to filing the I-751 in their situation.

Re: I have a conditional green card expiring whilst I’m in uk
In practice, she being a UK citizen and back living with Mum, she would only have had to go to her local GP, say she was pregnant and she would have received NHS services. Doubt whether any other questions would have been asked.
It happens all the time - UK citizens leave the UK, return, and are seen as eligible for NHS services - whether or not it is their intention to remain permanently.
As far as the OP is concerned, she merely returned to the UK, had her baby there and now wants to return to the US

Re: I have a conditional green card expiring whilst I’m in uk
If she doesn't have one, then she can apply at the US Embassy for a returning resident document. The crux of the situation is that she had to have registered as a resident of the UK in order to use the NHS. Will this be seen in the light as a necessary step because of her pregnancy or as proof that she had relinquished US residency?
Unfortunately, her situation is not cut and dried and at the very least, she in the UK or her husband in the US should consult with an experienced immigration attorney in regards to filing the I-751 in their situation.

Agreed. Get an attorney fast. And not just a cheapo first person on Google one. You're not in state of mind to diy this.
