How to choose the right maternity insurance plan?

3357 moms shared how they navigated this decisionRight on time for 🤰 2nd-trimester

3 approaches by moms

Bundled Plan45% moms chose this path
Purchasing a maternity policy that converts to whole life coverage.
Suits parents who want guaranteed insurability for their baby regardless of birth conditions. You pay higher ongoing premiums but secure early critical illness coverage without medical underwriting.

Rachel M.. · First-time mom · 24 weeks pregnant
Got the AIA bundled plan because I was paranoid about baby's health. Premiums are steep but the guaranteed transfer gives me peace of mind.
Standalone Plan30% moms chose this path
Paying a single premium purely for pregnancy complications and congenital illness protection.
Suits budget-conscious moms who just want a safety net for unexpected delivery complications. You pay a single premium of a few hundred dollars and coverage ends after three years.

I just bought the NTUC standalone plan for pure protection. Didn't want to be tied down to an expensive ILP for the next twenty years.
Self-Insure15% moms chose this path
Skipping maternity insurance and relying on existing hospital plans until birth.
Suits parents who prefer to save the premium money and buy standard policies post-birth. You take on the risk of congenital conditions being excluded if issues arise during delivery.

Skipped maternity insurance entirely as my company covers delivery complications. We just bought a normal shield plan for baby right after he was discharged.

Expert guidance

Maternity plans cover pregnancy complications and congenital conditions that MediShield Life and Integrated Shield plans do not. CPF notes MediShield Life and MediSave already help with delivery and hospitalisation costs, while dedicated maternity riders or standalone plans add complication and infant cover. What matters most is matching cover to your pregnancy risk, existing policies, and budget, since maternity insurance remains optional.
