Pregnancy and family combined limit
Some insurers put antenatal and postnatal services, such as pregnancy nutrition and postnatal pelvic floor physio, in one pregnancy or family health limit. This is Extras only; giving birth in hospital depends on your Hospital cover. Names and what's included differ by insurer, so check your policy.
- Several services share one yearly limit
- Names and what's included vary by insurer

How to make it go further
Antenatal classes, lactation consultants and postnatal pelvic floor physio may all come out of this limit. You'll likely use several services around pregnancy, so plan ahead and watch the waiting periods.
