You can apply for private health insurance (PKV) while pregnant, and pregnancy itself does not prevent coverage. Medical exams are usually not required, unless you have not been insured in the previous 12 months or you have existing health conditions. Once the private health insurance policy is confirmed, no waiting periods apply, so pregnancy-related checkups can be used as planned.
