travel insurance while pregnant?

Can anyone help please?

I need to find a travel insurance company that will cover me when I am 30wks pregnant. So far the ones I have contacted cut-off their policies for pg women at 28wks. Do you know a company that will insure me?

It's a short-haul flight within Europe.

I have a fit-to fly letter and documentation from my doctor.

Thanks x

    Is the country you're flying to free under the E111?

    Yes it is covered under the European Health Insurance Card scheme that replaced the E111, but I still need travel insurance for the trip on top of that.

    Thanks for the Thomas Cook tip.

    Have you tried Marks & Spencer My wife was in just the same situation last year with a doctors note etc. M&S were the only company we could find that went to 30 weeks

    Best check they have not changed their terms before you buy,

    Hope this helps

    Guys, try essential travel insurance. Just gone with them and its the cheapest I found
