Planning a Family

Have a look at your diet, exercise and stress levels, and see if you need to make any changes to give your baby a good start in life. Doctors recommended to take Folic Acid before and during your pregnancy (especially during conception) so find out about the importance of Folate in your diet. If you drink and smoke, consider giving up before getting pregnant. If you’re on medication or have any health concerns, have a chat to your doctor to put your mind at rest and help you have a healthy pregnancy.

Tell them about any pre-conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension and epilepsy which may be aggravated by pregnancy, or may introduce additional aspects of the pregnancy that should be managed.
If you don’t have health insurance, the time to take out pregnancy cover is before you get pregnant.

With HCF, you’ll need to plan ahead and take out cover 12 months before the baby is born. Our Top Plus Cover also provides benefits for assisted conception, such as IVF. Trust me they have helped me during my conception until I gave birth to my wonderful angel without giving me headache.
