Declaring pregnancy
The purpose of travel insurance is to provide cover for unforeseen events, including unforeseen bodily injury or illness. However, none of our travel insurance policies consider pregnancy and/or normal childbirth to be either an unforeseen event or illness.
Consequently, you will not be able to declare pregnancy and/or pregnancy related conditions in our screening process; such as pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and toxaemia
We will nevertheless cover pregnancy and/or pregnancy related conditions up to a specified number of weeks for both single or multiple pregnancies.
If you’re pregnant – or have a pregnancy related complication – cover for Cancellation, Curtailment and Medical Emergency Expenses will be provided if:
On the return date of your trip, you are no more than 36 weeks and 6 days into a single pregnancy or 32 weeks 6 days into a multiple pregnancy.
Your doctor and midwife are aware of your travel plans and you are not travelling against medical advice.
You have complied with all requirements of any transport providers.
You have declared any other pre-existing medical conditions that you have.
However, no cover is available for children who are born overseas during your trip.
