I’m writing this post to reach out to any other mothers out there who have concerns about the welfare of their children. A few years ago, my son became quite seriously ill. His condition was extremely mysterious, yet life threatening. His heart basically stopped beating several times and no one could tell us why. The doctors did a fantastic job and he is better now, but it really got me thinking about private medical insurance. I’d never even considered it before, but after that episode, I started asking questions and looking around. What I was worried about most was the expense, but having nearly lost my son, I was more lenient in that respect and just concerned with doing everything to ensure my family would be safe in the future. What I learnt was, for a monthly premium (much lower than I thought) I could get private medical insurance and add my children on to my cover as well. Additionally, the benefits *gym discounts and 24 hr GP and Stress helpline) are completely fantastic. I ended up getting private medical insurance from Norwich Union, now called Aviva, and what I learnt was that, because I’m paying for it, I actually take a conscious interest in the health of my family and myself. Aviva give a lot of advice on health, as well as insurance. As a mother, I would highly recommend it to others.
