Hi,
Anybody here who's wife is pregnant and pursue medical? My wife is 1 month pregnant and we are still waiting for our MR maybe it will come this february. We are planning to give her birth in canada, my obstacle now is her medical if she's allowed or is there any protective procedure especially during her xray?
Please advise. Thanks
There is a shield that they provide for abdomen specially to perform x-ray for pregnant women, when i went for medical out of curiosity i asked all the queries in Bangalore fortis hospital they said they don't expose for long (as we all know) and moreover the intensity of the rays is very very low but still they do provide the cover or shield for abdomen area for pregnant ladies.
Check with doctors whether X-ray can be done on your wife get all suggestion from friends family specially any doctors in the family and take ur call on the issue after which you finish it upfront in the hospital and keep it available for the local Visa Office.
When i went for medicals they asked for the form which was sent by NDVO and then started the process and uploaded the results with reference to that cause once they enter the UCI they get the details and these available with all e-medical enabled hospitals.
You can drop an email to Visa Office at the same time get the medicals done in parallel and do ask the hospital to have the provision to upload the results once you get the MR request.
hope this helps and i would request any experienced forum member who has been through this kind situation to comment or provide feedback/suggestions .
Thanks and all the best...
FYI: The family sponsorship has the facility of doing the medicals well in advance and can send along with the application itself.
