Hi everyone,

I moved to Nairobi in January to be with my Kenyan husband and I am now expecting my first baby. I have health insurance through my employer but maternity cover is only up to 100,000ksh. I can't take out a new policy now as I am already pregnant...! Does anyone have any experience of arriving in Kenya pregnant and being able to find cover either through a Kenyan provider or from the UK?

Thanks for any advice!
