457 Visa - Do we need to notify of pregnancy?
Our 457 visa is now about 3.5 months in the making, and we've just been asked to do medicals - so I think we're close now.
We've recently found out my wife is pregnant.
Is this something we should have notified about?
I seem to recall a question on the application about whether we were planning to have a child - which we weren't, but of course these things happen
Are we likely to get ourselves in hot water over this, or assuming it's a normal pregnancy (it is, as have the last 2), should it be a non-issue?

I believe the medical involves an x-Ray. So, it maybe unwise.

The x-ray isn't really the concern here (I've already spoken to the clinic and know what the options are).
I was more asking if a pregnancy is something DIBP would have wanted us to notify them about.

Thanks Dorothy
Now we just need to hope we get the outcome we need ref the xray!
(they told us they'll either set the requirement aside, or they'll make us wait until after the birth - which means no visa until after then)
We're from the UK (and born here), so we're low risk - and were only being asked to have them because we spent 18 months living in a high-TB area. But it's a 'wait and see what the computer says on the day' game.
