Pregnant, Living in The Middle East and Requiring Travel Insurance

[Kittykatmoll]

Is anyone aware of an insurance company who can meet my requirements?

I'm pregnant, British and live in The Middle East. I've got a holiday to Egypt coming up and also a trip to the UK. Despite searching the Internet for hours I've been unable to find travel insurance that will cover me. If I still lived in the UK it seems that I'd have no problem finding travel insurance to cover a pregnant woman, but, although we still have our house over there, I'm not going to risk defrauding an insurance company by fibbing.

I've completed all of my research regarding airlines' requirements for expectant mothers, including the paperwork, health status, pregnancy term etc. I need/don't need in order to fly. I'm also fully appraised on what I can and cannot receive from the NHS as regards being an expatriate.

I've contacted a local insurance broker out here a couple of times and await a reply.

If anyone can suggest an insurance company, that would be great.

Thank you

I live in uk but got insurance at 34 weeks from a company specialising in old and terminally ill people! Will look up name, hold on...

It was goodtogoinsurance.com

Thank you so much 1978. I'm off to look that one up right now.

They only insure UK residents but thank you very much for the suggestion.

I'm aware this is an old thread but does anybody have any new answers for this? I'm in exactly the same position as kittykatmoll.

TIA.

Hi Smithy,
I went on holiday late in my pregnancy and from ringing around I found the Post Office were one of the only ones that didn't have a clause exempting very pregnant women (i.e. they covered you until full term).
Might have changed now with the privatisation, of course, but worth looking up! I called their number and explicitly said how many weeks I was and what if I needed to be airlifted away from my small holiday island etc. and they said they make no discrimination for stages of pregnancy.

Oops didn't see the bit about not having a UK address. If I were you I would call the British Consulate in the country you are in and ask what they'd recommend.

I used worldnomads to insure when living out of UK, but not sure if they cover for pregnancy so maybe not much help!

Have you tried asking on the Living Overseas forum? Someone might know more there.
