With your new addition on board, it’s important that you have the right travel insurance to look after yourself and your unborn child.

What does travel insurance cover if I'm pregnant?

If you have to cancel your trip because your doctor certifies you're medically unfit to travel due to an injury or illness, you can be covered for your pre-paid, non-refundable transport and accommodation costs.

If you're traveling while pregnant, and you're suddenly ill or injured or you have an unexpected pregnancy complication (including an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage), all of our policies cover:

  • Emergency medical treatment
  • Hospitalization
  • Ambulances
  • Transport to get you home for ongoing treatment, if medically required
  • 24-hour/7-day, multi-lingual assistance teams.

Coverage for unexpected pregnancy complications depends on your Country of Residence and how many weeks’ pregnant you are while traveling.

Coverage depends on your Country of Residence and varies between plans.

What’s not covered for pregnant travelers

  • If you decide not to travel due to your pregnancy
  • Childbirth at any time
  • A pregnancy with any complications for any pregnancy prior to buying and/or extending the policy
  • Routine pregnancy check-ups, e.g. standard ultrasounds and blood tests, pregnancy tests, etc.
  • Fertility treatments at any time
  • Expenses incurred in your home country
  • Pre-existing medical conditions, which may be exacerbated in your pregnancy.

Please note: depending on your Country of Residence, your pregnancy may be considered a pre-existing medical condition. Please take the time to read your policy wording as there are limits on your coverage.

This is not a full list of what's covered and what's not covered. There are limits, conditions and exclusions that apply, so for more information check out our article on pregnancy and read your policy carefully before you buy.

It’s essential that you get in contact with our Emergency Assistance teams as soon as possible so that you can be supported from the time you fall sick or get injured until the time you get home.

So that our Emergency Assistance teams can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:

Unable to travel in first trimester

I unexpectedly became pregnant towards the end of November. I was planning on still going on the trip until my doctor diagnosed me with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. They recommend not leaving the country due to these complications in the first trimester of pregnancy.
