Travel insurance

[Artesia]

Am going away to France later this week, and realised I should probably get specific travel insurance to make sure it covers pregnancy related conditions. Will do some Google research, but wondered if anyone else had looked into this, and had any recommendations? Thanks!

I went to France at 14 weeks pregnant (now 34) and did travel insurance with Virgin. Checked through their policy documents and didn't need to declare pregnancy or anything as they don't consider pregnancy an illness so any related problems would be covered for you. Just make sure you check the t&cs of any policy you consider and take your green notes and eu health insurance card (New e111 card) incase you do end up needing medical care, then you won't need to pay. Happy hols.

I was under the impression that you did need specific pregnancy travel insurance as your (potentially) premature baby needs to be covered too.

I was also under the impression that only one company actually offered this. And their name escapes me. But it began with r...

I may be wrong about any of this.

I had Columbus standard insurance and it covered pg complications until 30 something weeks

I also had to claim on it (found it was twins so only good until 24 weeks and had to canx flights) and they paid out.

Fab- thanks all for your help, and happy hols!

I used Debenhams which was specifically for pregnant people x
