Travel Insurance for Pregnancy

Expectant mothers are often presented with a unique set of considerations when it comes to purchasing travel insurance while pregnant.

Is pregnancy classed as a medical condition for travel insurance?

If you are experiencing complications with your current pregnancy, or have done with previous pregnancy, you will need to declare this when booking your policy. If you have a pre-existing medical condition that has a greater risk of causing medical complications with your pregnancy, then you will need to declare it and screen your condition(s).

Travel insurance and pregnancy: the do's and dont's

  • If you're travelling by plane, do be sure to check what your airline carrier specifies as the accepted time to travel for pregnant women. The standard will vary depending on the airline as many airlines have differing pregnancy acceptance levels. It's always best to check well in advance of booking, as you could end up being refused to board the aircraft. If this happens, we do not cover denial of boarding by your carrier, therefore rendering your insurance invalid.
  • Don't forget to visit your doctor beforehand and notify them of your travel plans. They'll be able to advise how best to travel in your condition, and also whether it's wise to travel at all.
  • Remember to return 8 weeks prior to your due date no matter how long you plan to travel for
