Total Travel Protection is brought to you by Ancile Insurance Group Limited who have been specialising in travel insurance cover for medical conditions and older travellers since 2010.
Travel insurance cover when you are pregnant
Being pregnant is not an illness and it certainly doesn’t prevent you from travelling abroad for a holiday, but you should make sure you are properly covered by your travel insurance.
Suffering pregnancy complications abroad which result in emergency medical treatment could work out costly if you are not covered by insurance.
All travel insurance policies from Total Travel Protection will provide our standard levels of cover for you to travel when pregnant, up to 28 weeks for a single pregnancy or 24 weeks for a multiple pregnancy, so long as your airline or transport provider is happy to carry you and you are not travelling against your doctor’s advice.
From 29 weeks (25 weeks for a multiple pregnancy) there are some restrictions to cover, please see the details below.
There is no extra charge for travel insurance if you are pregnant and you don’t need to declare your pregnancy when you buy your policy.
