Have to change plans (during pregnancy)

not-a-number

I dont have a lot of knowledge on health insurance plans. So any advice is much appreciated.

Background:
2 Adults
Huntington Beach - CA
Currently on Anthem Select Gold PPO B.

Employer now requires us to reenrol with new plan options. (I dont know if we can keep our current)

  • Anthem Gold PPO 30/750/20% (3KGH)
  • Anthem Platinum HMO 10
  • Anthem Gold HMO 25
  • Anthem Gold PPO 20/30%
  • Kaiser Gold HMO 0/30 + Child Dental
  • Kaiser Plantinum 90 HMO 0/15 + Child Dental

We are expecting a child at the beginning of next year.

Questions:
  1. What would be the best option out of the above during and after pregnancy?
  2. The Platinum has the lowest max out of pocket and is the highest monthly payment. (does this mean its good or is it limited in care?)
  3. We plan to travel out of state soon for a month. Is it bad to be HMO?
  4. I understand HMO means it must be within network but does that mean you dont get the best care and best options if the baby needed special care?
Thanks for the help
