Pregnancy shouldn't be a reason to stop your next adventure. But with a new addition on board, travel insurance may help you look after yourself and bub-to-be if you're suddenly injured or have unexpected complications with your pregnancy while travelling. 

What travel insurance will cover during pregnancy

If you're travelling and have a pregnancy complication due to an accidental bodily injury or unexpected illness on your trip (outside the period between 12 weeks before AND 12 weeks after your due date), our policies may cover:

  • Emergency medical treatment.
  • Hospitalisation.
  • Ambulances.
  • Transport to get you back to Ireland for ongoing treatment (if medically required).

What we won’t cover

We won’t cover a number of circumstances including, but not limited to:

  • Having a pre-existing medical condition that results in complications.
  • Normal costs or losses associated with pregnancy or childbirth. This includes medical care such as your antenatal check-ups and scans, costs associated with giving birth, and care for a newborn baby.
  • Doing anything illegal.
  • Travelling against the advice of a medically qualified doctor.
  • Drugs or alcohol-related injuries or illnesses.
  • Deliberate self-harm or wilful exposure to exceptional risk.

How to get assistance if you're sick or injured while pregnant

You’ll first need to contact your private medical insurance (PMI) provider (if applicable) and follow their emergency medical procedures and their claims procedures. Cover available under this travel insurance policy is in excess of any cover provided by your PMI. Also, provide us with details of your PMI provider to help us co-ordinate your care. Where your PMI provider does not cover you, contact our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team before incurring medical costs. You must let us know how you are going and keep in contact with our EA team until you no longer require treatment or assistance.

The policy isn’t designed to cover everything so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Policy Wording for full details, so there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered get in touch.

How to get assistance if you're sick or injured while pregnant. 

It’s essential that you get in contact with our 24/7 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 they can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:

  • Your policy number
  • A contact number for where you are now
  • The nature of your problem
  • Your location

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.
