Travel insurance while pregnant (22 weeks)

What about the insurance you buy with your tickets? If you're flying Air NZ?

Air New Zealand uses QBE, here is some informative found:

Super helpful, thanks everyone!!

We'll get on to calling around these as I'd like to get it sorted as soon as we can.

Just an update that we now have me insured through Columbus Direct, who cover up to 30 weeks. You do need to pay for their 'Pregnancy Exclusion' to the policy though.

We initially purchased through 1-Cover - only to find (when reading the fine print) that they didn't cover me for childbirth, antenatal and essentially anything relating to a worst case scenario for pregnancy - despite verbally stating this would be covered on the phone. Annoying, but thankfully got a refund.

Southern Cross, QBE and any of the main insurance providers didn't cover childbirth etc for the period in which we're travelling (24 to 25.5 weeks and travelling to the US).

I would definitely recommend starting the process of looking for insurance as early as possible, and reading the full terms and conditions of the policy. We also found there are also exclusions by some providers if you have a pregnancy with multiples or have used fertility treatments to get pregnant, which would add extra complexities if that's your situation.

To be on the safe side, we've got a letter from our OB confirming that I'm safe to travel - and we'll be taking a copy of all our OB records (scans etc) along with us.

Hope that helps!
