Hello all,

this is my very first post here, so if it is in the wrong place - just let me know!

We are moving to Lausanne next year and are in the midst of looking at everything we need to do.

With regards to health insurance - we are very much hoping that I will be pregnant on arrival in Switzerland.

As we have been told many times you must have Swiss health insurance I want to make sure that I will be covered completely even if we only apply for health insurance on arrival.

Should we take out the insurance now whilst still in our home country or will it still be okay to just apply directly on arrival?

And does any one have any preferences for HI companies with regards to maternity care?

Thank you
