Well, I am going to be contraversial and say it's a boy!

We decided to go for our third child after applying for the visa, but before the meds were requested, and the pregnancy put the process on hold for a few months. I don't regret it in the least, I was more concerned about the age gap than delaying the visa. I did struggle to get my BMI to overweight rather than obese so quickly after the birth, but on the plus side I managed to avoid the breast exam as the Dr was obviously terrified that he might get squirted with milk!

Hi - same here - it will be our third and we are not getting any younger!!!! i am trying to establish whether or not it is feesible to frontload meds and then get on with the job in hand!! ideally giving birth in Oz - visa being granted in the meantime!! sounds simple doesnt it

Hiya,

we found out I was pregnant after we had submitted our application. We didn't use an agent, and after waiting for about 12 weeks I wrote to our case officer and informed him of the change in our circumstances. He got back to us very quickly and said they were ready to issue our PR and what did we want him to do? He gave us the options.....either have the baby in the UK and then have to go through the hassle of another application for the baby....or have the baby in Oz. We chose the latter and flew when I was 32 weeks pregnant. A lot of airlines won't carry you after 28 weeks. I think Singapore Airlines are about the best as they will carry you to 33 weeks....but beware, you need a visa (or soemthing like that) if you won't to stop over and you are pregnant. We didn't bother.

Rooksie

Thanks for that - i assume then that you had already had your meds and THEN became pregnant?

banjo

it all happened so quickly! Our little Aussie was a surprise package so we're not 100% on the dates, but I do remember thinking 'I'm pregnant' :scared: about a week after going for the meds.

I flew to Oz at 28-29 weeks pregnant no problem. Some airlines will let you fly up to 36 weeks pregnant as slong as you are healthy, have a Dr letter and have had an uncomplicated pregnancy. You just have to watch the insurance. You are insured if YOU get sick, but not for anything related to the baby (if that makes sense). E.g. I ended up in hospital in Singapore with something nasty but it was my illness not the baby's, so I was insured (Austravel - fab).
