There are no coverages that are specific to pregnancy, but there are certain coverages that might be impacted if you’re pregnant. Having the right coverage and understanding how you’re covered is important. Look for a plan that has the coverage and benefit limits your travel needs. Popular plan features include:

• Medical expense coverage (be sure to understand how pregnancy may impact this benefit)
• Trip cancellation/trip interruption coverage
• Missed flight connection assistance
• Trip exchange – coverage for difference in cost or fees associated with changing your vacation to new travel dates 
• Baggage coverage 
• Rental vehicle damage coverage (optional add-on coverage)
• Cancel For Any Reason (optional add-on coverage available with certain plans)

Travel insurance plans are not usually a requirement for traveling, though it can be very beneficial for travelers. Depending on the travel insurance plan, pregnancy may impact coverage in different ways. For example, a normal pregnancy or childbirth may be a covered reason to cancel your trip if you purchased your travel insurance plan before the pregnancy. On the other hand, medical expense coverage does not provide coverage for normal pregnancy or childbirth. In the event that you have unexpected complications while traveling there may be coverage available. 

Another important thing to consider with your travel insurance plan is 24/7 emergency travel assistance. You have enough to worry about, let Travel Guard help with certain details. Travel Guard’s specially trained representatives can help with things like rebooking flights, finding English speaking doctors, providing translation assistance and assisting with prescription replacement.
