KJK88 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hi! We're in the process of completing our 186 visa. I'm also 4 months pregnant, and very curious to find out if anyone has had the chest X-ray while pregnant, and had to have the medical done? Everywhere I read it recommends you not to have one while pregnant. BUt if you do, it requires a lead vest. Any advice would be great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It is a very personal decision, you should talk to your doctor about it. I have only ever read posts from people who waited, but am sure there are some that used the lead shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I know of one person who had the Xrays whilst pregnant and then spent the rest of her pregnancy in high anxiety in case she had caused damage to her baby. Personally I wouldn't take the risk. Your choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'd not X-ray during pregnancy. I'd wait till baby arrived then doi the full medical and X-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
