Maternity Insurance

Hi, I wanted to buy the maternity insurance so I have approach my agent. Prior to that, I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and have make known to my agent on the claims regarding the cysts surgery. So during the session with my agent, she insist I declared that I have ovarian cysts (even my gynae told me this have nothing to do with my pregnancy and my kind of cysts are unlikely to cause complication during delivery). So to apply for this maternity insurance, I need to submit together with my diagnostic report of my ovarian cysts. To make matter worst, my agent was unsure whether I can be insured under maternity insurance. Today, my agent inform me that the company requires me to further furnish, 1) Harmony Test/Oscar Test and 2) week 20 detailed report (I have to bear all the cost). I am so furious! I mean what has my ovarian cysts have to do with the abnormalities of my baby?! I am so angry and decided to withdraw my application. Any mummies with ovarian cysts but managed to get insured under maternity insurance? What maternity insurance (other than GE) do you recommend?

i know how frustrating this can be. agent keep telling me their past records clients weren't charged for getting their gynaes to fill in any questionnaire or whatsoever. but mine do. anyhow, I submitted for AIA and was rejected due to a slight increase in fibroid size. previous size and current size is already made known to the underwriter but the underwriter insisted I get my gynae to fill in questionnaire as a form of acknowledgement or whatever. paid $100++ for it and got rejected. though mentioned they'll fully reimburse me with the original hardcopy of invoice from gynae for the charge, to date haven't had any reimbursement yet. point to note that: my gynae even indicated clearly on the questionnaire that this fibroid will not be of any impact or cause any complications to my pregnancy. infact, will either shrink or disappear after delivery. I am now pending prudential's approval. however if still rejected, we will not proceed with others and just wait for after baby's delivery. our priority was focusing on life + CI for bb. not much at all about maternity side. and AIA/prudential has this bundle that we need not undergo underwriting once BB is born and the policy can be transferred.
