Planning for a baby involves preparing for healthcare expenses alongside other family needs. Maternity cover can help with eligible costs related to pregnancy, delivery, and newborn care. However, many health insurance policies come with a waiting period before these benefits become available. Understanding your options can help you identify suitable coverage and plan ahead.
