**The bond between a mother and her baby can be strong, even at the early stages of a pregnancy. But approximately 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. How do people move on after losing a baby? Tiffany tells us about this difficult time in her life.**
In 2016, Tiffany was living in Osaka for work and her husband was in Tokyo. They saw each other every weekend for a year and a half.
At the time, Tiffany did not have private medical cover but her husband included her under his private health insurance with Allianz as he wanted her to have extra protection.They discovered they were pregnant with their first child and were very excited.
Six weeks into the pregnancy, Tiffany told her employer that she would be going back to Tokyo as she didn't want to go through pregnancy alone. A week later, she started to bleed. She was referred to a hospital in Osaka where she was told that she was miscarrying. Tiffany explained: “I was in denial and I think I hoped my doctors were wrong”. Two weeks later, the doctor recommended surgery as she was concerned about Tiffany’s blood loss.
Her husband contacted us to organise Treatment Guarantee while they got ready to go to the hospital. Tiffany was impressed by the service and level of care received, and has kept her International Health Insurance with us ever since. Even when her husband moved job, they stayed with Allianz.
A year and a half later, their first son was born, and is also protected by Allianz Care.
Tiffany is now a happy mother, living in London.
