You may not claim for any treatment related to maternity which you have received during the waiting period. Normal maternity insurance policies will typicall include benefits for the coverage of; * Pre-Natal Treatments * Normal delivery * Complications of delivery * Post-Natal Treatments. A more comprehensive maternity insurance plan may also include coverage for benefits including; * IVF Treatments * New born child care * Congenital birth defect treatment.
