Hi,
My fiance and I are looking for a Health Insurance plan that includes pregnancy. Most Insurance companies offer these plans but I always prefer to have opinions from those with first hand experience. Any help/advice would be wonderful,
Thanks :-)

When I was pregnant wih my second child I called every Health Insurance Company in Australia and all they say that you must have the insurance around about 12months before baby is due. You also need to ask if it covers you and the baby when your in Hospital as some companies need you to take a policy out for the child to be covered once the are born and not before birth. Ask all the questions like who's covered and what is covered, when are we covered from? those things like that..i hope that helped
