Yes, it is classified as pre-existing. While you manage the financial planning, ensure you maintain a highly nutritious vegetarian diet rich in iron and calcium to keep yourself healthy throughout.
In my case, when I applied for a new policy during my second month, the company clearly stated that my pregnancy was a pre-existing condition and excluded it. That was my experience, so we had to manage the costs ourselves.
While we were busy treating my pregnant wife to street food cravings, we found out insurance wouldn't cover the delivery because we bought it late. It was counted as pre-existing, so we had to pay the bills ourselves.
My sister went through this recently. Because she got the policy after getting pregnant, the insurer rejected the maternity claim saying it was pre-existing. Buy insurance before you plan a family, guys.

Don't get discouraged, dear. While retail plans consider it pre-existing, corporate group insurance policies usually cover maternity from day one. Do check if your office insurance has this benefit.
