I have 1 friend who flew at 32 weeks, 6 days after she got her visa and another who had her and the babys meds done when bub was 2 days old. By that stage it will just be a minor blip, ok you pay for 2 lots of meds, but sometimes you just have to live for the moment.

Re: Pregnancy & Immigration ....?????
Jac,
Is there something you want to tell me???? ROFL
Seriously though, we went through all the same worries, etc with the Vs the visa...... we got great advice though....
Basically, we just submit our visa appl as normal, and then when I have the baby I just inform the case officer and send a certified copy of the bubs birth certificate & when we have it, a certified copy of bubs passport detail page..... the CO then should add on the bubs to the appl.
In regards to XRays when pregnant, the advice we got was that 99.9% of hospitals will refuse you an x-ray but some may offer you a "lead-sheilded xray".... BEWARE as in Booklet 6 it states that DIMIA don't particularly see them as the "norm" so tend not to accept them............ we were advised that if our meds were requested but bubs still hadn't been born that we should inform our CO & they would "suspend" our application until after the happy event. Another point to consider, that we have been told, is that it isn't advisable to have your Meds until after your 6wk check following the birth of the baby... I was concerned as it looks like I am having another c-section with this baby & I wondered how that would sit with the panel doctor doing the medicals. I have been advised not to worry about that so long as I tell the doctor when we arrive; apparantly c-sects are not a negative point on the medical. (good news ;o))
PM me if you want to chat about this or travelling to Australia with a tiny baby as we have done that too....
Love ya,
Claire

Re: Pregnancy & Immigration ....?????
Your medicals will be delayed until the birth of your child.
Hospitals refuse to X-ray the chest during pregnancy.
Either do the medicals before trying or expect to wait...
My missus fell pregnant during the wait for the yellow envelope and our meds were delayed as a result.
We now have a baby boy called Zak who is just the most adorable child on this planet**
**along with his big bro' Lucas of course
