Moving to a new state at 31 weeks pregnant..

Age: 29 (turning 30 early july) Right now I am 28 weeks pregnant. I have private health insurance where I currently live right now but I will be moving at 31 weeks to Washington state. I am really worried that I won’t be able to see a doctor in time due to health insurance possibly not beginning right away.

I’ve called midwives already there and they will accept me as a new patient but I will need my insurance switched to a Washington plan. I’ve also called the marketplace there and they didn’t really help much.. maybe I didn’t ask the right questions.

I’m trying to word this properly but here I go..

I guess my question here is: When moving to a new state and applying for health insurance while pregnant, will the plan & coverage begin right away? I plan to pay for private insurance.

Thank you for the help, everyone. I am so unbelievably afraid I am going to be out of luck once I get there.
