From what i have read most travel insurance companies fully cover pregnant women up to their 28th -30th week of preganancy but always best to have a doctors letter to say your fit to travel.

I went to Cuba at 16 weeks pregnant. I just got the usual travel insurance from Boots as pregnancy is not seen as am 'illness' that you need to declare. I mentioned it to my midwife and did not need a letter of 'fitness to travel' just my green pregnancy notes just in case.
