Does anyone know where I can get holiday insurance from, we are going to lanzarote in June and I turn 32 weeks whilst there, all the ones I've looked at online dont actually ask if your pregnant so have any of you ladies any ideas? :)

I used M&S when I was about 28 weeks, might be worth trying them. You may need a fit to fly letter for the airline, they vary quite a bit and some won't let you fly without one at 32 weeks.

Sorry can't help, but giving this a bump for any more suggestions as am also going to be going away at 32 weeks. My current insurance company was a bit vague about covering pregnancy, so I'd like something in writing that says I'll be covered.

My insurance company told me it was sexual discrimination not to cover me, and as long as the doctor said it was OK then I was covered. They didn't even need to be informed about it as a pre-existing condition. I agree that you might need a fit to fly letter for the airline.

We phoned our bank as they provide our travel insurance in the package. They told us it would be sexist not to insure me while pregnant! So we were all covered for our trip.

Hi, I used Ravenhall specialist pregnant traveller insurance company last year (32 week pregnant) when several other insurance companies turned me down because I was 32wk. It was pretty good value, too and they have a phone line: www.ravenhallgroup.co.uk/traveller-pregnant-traveller.php.

Great thread - DH and I are already booked in for a holiday and I will turn 32 weeks while there. We will probably drive down (slowly, with an overnight stop!) rather than fly to be on the safe side but hadn't thought about insurance. I will see whether my Insure and Go annual policy covers it but as it runs out before the holiday I can cancel and go with Ravenhall or similar if necessary. Thank you for making me think of this!

Definitely make sure that you have a fit to fly note if you're flying. I was asked for one even for internal flights.
