Travel insurance at 32 weeks

I’m planning a short trip (only a couple hours flight) in Europe when I’ll be 32 weeks pregnant. My midwife says it’s completely fine and it’s the only time I can take off before mat leave. I’ve researched local hospitals etc just in case, but I’m struggling to find travel insurance that definitely would cover premature labour at 32 weeks, time spent staying in the country until you can fly back, the newborn, etc. It seems a lot of them consider birth from 32 weeks to be routine medical care and therefore not covered- even though that could presumably mean weeks in a NICU and having to stay in the country for about 2 months until the newborn can fly back. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Sorry, no! I posted similar a couple of months ago, to travel UK to Portugal at 32 weeks. We ended up not going abroad as all the travel insurance I could find said birth at 32 weeks was considered normal! Hope you have better luck.

Nope they usually cover up to 28 weeks and that's it. You'd have to go at your own risk.
