Travel insurance while pregnant

[HelterSkelter224]

I will be 24w pregnant when I travel to Faro in September. Midwife and consultant currently more than happy for me to travel and I'm going in to my midwife the week before for blood pressure etc. I have Low Papp-A in this pregnancy and had it in my last pregnancy. It's not a diagnosis of a complication as such rather a hormonal thing that flags a very slightly higher risk of fetal growth restriction meaning I'll get more scans. Didn't affect my last pregnancy at all. I take aspirin daily to help blood flow.

My last pregnancy I went over 2 weeks overdue and ended up with very mild pre-eclampsia. No meds, no complications but I was induced mostly because I was already over 2 weeks over and "they might as well" because of the mild pre-eclampsia symptoms.

First of all do I need to declare these to travel insurers? Pregnancy isn't a pre-existing condition, and my travel insurance defines pre-existing condition as last 12 months so that rules the pre-eclampsia out from last time. Low Papp-A isn't a diagnosis of anything it's simply a hormone level.

Second, can anyone recommend a good travel insurance in case I do need to declare and need more comprehensive insurance due to these things?

Thanks!

You really should declare that you are pregnant and taking aspirin daily. Just choose a company online and give them a ring, it shouldn’t affect your premium that much but if you needed to cancel the holiday or needed medical treatment abroad they could refuse to pay if they weren’t informed that you are pregnant.

The best medical insurance you can get is a GHIC. Then the Portuguese public health system will treat you at no charge, whatever happens and with no exclusions. Get travel insurance for things like private ambulances and maybe repatriation, but the public system will do all the heavy lifting.
