I need some advice: I lost a baby on the NHS, which provided appalling, almost non-existent care throughout my pregnancy, which resulted in a premature birth and neonatal death of my baby.
I want to go private with future pregnancies since I’ve lost all trust in NHS mat services and know I will need specialist consultant oversight/treatment throughout the pregnancy, much of which will be preventative, so not what the NHS normally does: waiting until a problem happens and trying to fix it after things went wrong.
I can’t afford paying thousands for private consultants and am now wondering whether I can take out private health insurance that would cover such maternity care.
I’ve tried looking up quotes but they all only included acute medical treatments in the case of illness, not covering a pre-existing condition such as an incompetent cervix that needs to be measured weekly, or a preventative cervical stitch.
If anyone has taken out such an insurance or knows more about this I’d be most grateful.
