Until the first of jan zurich insurance were offering a policy for pregnant women up to 14 weeks who have not had a scan and their doctor is willing to sign that they have not had a scan. I am asking if anyone knows of a company that offers a similar policy seeing as they do not do it anymore.
sisa and marcus hearn were acting as agents for zurich
tamba do not know of anyone.
Could anyone who knows useful info please provide it

I'm not surprised they no longer offer it. It's so open to abuse. How would a doctor know whether they'd had a private scan or not?

Sorry to not be able to help, but like others have already said, I think the horse has bolted. Why didn't you think about this before your wife fell pregnant again?

And besides, surely with 4 children (2 of those twins) already you already have everything you could possibly need for the result of this pregnancy, twins or not.

I don't think there is anyone here who knows, no matter how many times you ask.

I can see why they have withdrawn the policy, it's so easy and inexpensive nowdays to get a private scan, it's wide open to abuse.

Except for the night nurse they think they'll need.

They should have thought of that sooner then.

I expect the tax credits for 6 children under 7 must be quite generous.

As I asked previously how much would you expect to get paid out?? And what did you believe the costs to be?
Surely what you would spend on insuring would be better put to the children or child when it or they arrive??
I think a policy like this is quite absurd

Just to let you know we had a scan today and found we have triplets!

This insurance was sold till the begining of this month and for a preimium of 500-1000 pounds we could have got a return of 10'000 pounds....but we missed it
