Sorry if this has been done before, but I'd appreciate advice re my situation: finances bit tight so trying to save money. Not pregnant at the mo but TTC. Need to renew health insurance within a month so options are:

-Renew with Daman regional will cost 17000.
-Renew but downgrade to Daman UAE cost 12500 but poor selection of Hosp/ clinic for ob/gyn I feel
-New policy with Adnic, cost 13000, good selection of Hosp and apparently no waiting period for maternity. Can someone pls confirm this, eg if I fall pregnant 1 month into the policy there won't be any problems?
- DH is thinking to save money, not have any health cover, pay for appointments and give birth in UK( no attacks please it's for ease of passport issues for future LO as DH born outside of UK)

We have 1 toddler who does get I'll every 2 months as well. So I'm thinking we need some sort of cover...Adnic or can you advise other companies with no/short maternity weighting period.
Thanks in advance

I went wwith ADNIC as needed health insruance at 34 weeks. There is NO waiting period. Do a search on ADNIC and it will give you all the information. Just gave birth last week and pretty much, all major hospitals and clinics in Dubai are covered.

No attacks at all :) but just be careful if you do go down the UK route - I had maternity care there over the summer and they were quite clear that I had to pay for all my appointments and would have had to pay for delivery if I'd ended up staying. I was probably too honest, though. Worth bearing in mind ;).
