Hi I don't know if I'm in the right place, but I need some help, I have a holiday booked and found out I was pregnant, I went to travel company and they said they can't cover me as I will be 36 weeks and I need to get my own insurance but I can't find any companys that will cover past 28 weeks,if I cancel this holiday I will loose a lot of money and if I change it it will cost me more money so stuck in a rutt! If anyone knows of any companys who will cover me up unitll 36 weeks I would much appreciate it thank you x

No company will cover you that far into your pregnancy being a travel agent there are some new rules coming out for pregnant women many airlines are now not letting pregnant women over 26weeks fly on there airlines!!
The current rules in the uk are all the main tour operators such as mytravel thomas cook etc will not let you travelon there airlines if your over 28weeks so if your travelling with one of the major tour ops you will only have to choices either to cancel the holiday or to change it over to either before or after!!
Hope this has helped
