Pregnancy - group health insurance switch to another insurance company?

I've now 5 month pregnant and I'm covered by my husband's company's health insurance, Cigna, for pregnancy. Now his company want to switch to another group health insurance company next month and I want to know if my pregnance still covered by the new insurance company? Or can I request to extend insurance coverage from Cigna until my baby is born to guarantee my pregnancy is covered?

You will be covered. There are federal regulations (HIPAA) which require a insurance co. to impose no pre exisitng condition limitations when a firm changes to a different company.
