It’s my second pregnancy, and I just informed my manager and select teammates. Other than that, word spreads fast

Congrats! I would tell your direct boss first so he or she understands when you start taking more days/time off for illness and or doctor appointments.

When did you tell work about your pregnancy?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
