Travel insurance when you're pregnant

What's usually covered

Many plans cover unexpected pregnancy complications, often up to a set week of pregnancy. Normal pregnancy, routine checkups and childbirth are usually not covered.

Questions to ask

• Up to which week of pregnancy are complications covered?
• Is the newborn covered if born early abroad?
• Can you cancel if your doctor advises against travel?

Airline rules

Airlines set their own limits on flying late in pregnancy, and may ask for a doctor's letter. Check with your airline and doctor before booking.
