Recommendation wanted: Travel insurance during pregnancy

[birnehelene]

Hello,

I will be travelling to Spain for a week in August when I will be 24-25 weeks pregnant. Does anyone have recommendations for travel insurance which includes full medical cover for premature birth etc?

Many thanks!

Got some from Direct Line when I was 28 weeks pregnant, but that was 7 years ago. Probably worth a try though...

I travelled to Florida to see my mum last year for three weeks - returning just before I hit 27 weeks. I'd had a miscarriage earlier in the year so was extra keen for specific situations to be covered should anything go wrong whilst I was out there.

So, I was advised by friends in the industry to directly ring the ABI (Association of British Insurers) who will put you through to a qualified broker. You then discuss your requirements clearly, and they then find the most suitable cover. I ended up spending more than you would with a standard insurance policy, but I was also covered for extra eventualities, which a standard policy just will not cover you for.

Have a nice holiday (and don't forget to read the teeeny tiiiny small print- it's that that you'll rely on if anything goes wrong - which I'm SURE it won't!!!)

All was well and we had a great holiday. have fun
