<blockquote rel="imketket">Hi batchmates, nagpamedical na kami ni hubby, pero may konting problem. I am 4 weeks pregnant and my OB has advised not to undergo X-Ray. Hindi ako nakapag pa-xray pero the doctor told me na yung medical result ko will be put on hold kase hindi pa kumpleto dahil sa X-ray. Marerelease lang nila yung result once na nakapag xray na ko.. Panu yun??? Kung after delivery na ako pwede magpa-xray ibig ba sabihin naka-hold yung application namin ni hubby till my delivery? Pa-advise naman po.. ang hirap kasi kausap nung doktor na nagcheck sa kin, hindi nya inexplain ng mabuti..tapos parang nagmamadali pa.. Hindi naman namin inaasahan ni hubby na mappreggy ako. :p
We had our medical at Nationwide Makati.
Thank you in advance sa mga sasagot. 🙂</blockquote>

Pregnant visa applicants and the chest x-ray requirement
The department does not recommend that a pregnant visa applicant undergoes a chest x-ray. This is because there is a risk that a chest x-ray could harm the unborn child. It is
recommended that a pregnant visa applicant defers her chest x-ray, and therefore the decision on her visa application, until after the child’s birth.
A pregnant visa applicant should firstly contact the department to discuss her options, including the possible deferral of her visa application. If you decide to defer the chest x-ray until after the child’s birth .A pregnant visa applicant should advise the department if she
decides to defer her chest x-ray until after the child’s birth. If you are prepared to undergo a chest x-ray while pregnant .If a pregnant visa applicant is prepared to undergo a chest
x-ray, it is recommended that she consults with her doctor before arranging her appointment for a chest x-ray and that special precautions are taken (eg. using a protective lead shield and waiting until at least the second trimester). A pregnant visa applicant must sign the declaration on page 4 before undergoing a chest x-ray. Undergoing a chest x-ray does not guarantee the grant of a visa. The result of the chest x-ray must be found to be normal. Where a chest x-ray shows abnormalities, the visa applicant may be asked to undergo more specific tests and a course of treatment.
