Why life insurance is important to expectant moms

By Chirag Pancholi of Jenny Life, Inc.

Expectant, post-partum, stay-at-home and part-time working mothers need life insurance every bit as much or more than their spouses. Life insurance is about providing financial protection to your kids/parents/spouse, should you die.

Often, people think about life insurance only in terms of replacing lost income, but if you are a caregiver to your family, that has real financial value that should be protected.

When thinking about life insurance, here are 5 questions to ask yourself:

  • What would my spouse need to pay for? Would a part-time nanny, after school care, or more babysitting be needed for help with doctor’s appointments, home managing, household tasks?
  • Is there debt that would be a burden to my children or spouse?
  • What about income? Would life insurance help replace lost income for my dependents?
  • Caring for my parents… can life insurance help with that?
  • How much is the right amount? And, will it cost a lot to get coverage?
