Hi,

My husband is working for a govt department on a Post-graduate work permit. I have applied for SOWP, last year on June 2021 and now have received the request for medical. He is in India working from India and I am 8 weeks pregnant now. Therefore wanted to check if I can do x-ray with or without the shield. I have heard that x-ray without a shield can be harmful to the baby.
2nd) telling the medical officer about my situation and even after doing the x-ray, will there be a problem that my application will be put on hold or denied this SOWP visa because of my situation ?. My first SOWP application was already rejected.

3) Assuming that everything went fine and I got the visa. How costly it is to have baby there as I don't know if I will have any health card or insurance by that time. My husband has his health card and he has Sunlife insurance but not sure if they will cover any or all the medical bills for me?
