There is no evidence that immigration officers care about pregnancy when
a new PR arrives. And even if they did, there is no legal basis on
which they could cancel a PR visa on the basis of an *unborn* child.

A child *born* with health problems before validation would be a
different story.

From an Australian visa point of view, it's best to have the child born
in Australia. The child will be an Australian citizen automatically.

Otherwise you will need to sponsor for a Dependent Child migration visa
later on - new form, new fee, medical for baby etc.
