RE: can anyone offer any suggestions?
When I was 22 weeks preg, they did a chest xray on me. Had the lead apron on (heavy!!!), and my baby is fine. No deformities at all. They thought I had something wrong with my heartturned out to be symptoms of anaemia. Goes to show.

Dear Jo IF this is truly a requirement of the immigration department (and I guess to reduce the spread of TB it probably is) a chest XR can be conducted without too much risk to the fetus if the mother wears a lead apron over her abdomen. This preventsradiation penetration. XRays are very specific and the radiation field is narrowedto an area. A chest XR at 24 weeks (6 months) with a lead apron over the abdomen will protect the developing fetus, enable to mother to have her Chest XR and therefore, travel on to OZ for the birth of her infant Alesa Alesa KoziolClinical Midwifery EducatorMelbourne - Original Message - From: Jo Dean Bainbridge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 9:02 PM Subject: can anyone offer any suggestions? Hi wonderful listers, we received this via the CARES web site and thought some one might know what these people could dosounds like red tape! (personally I wonder why thy want to come to cs capital?! Sorry, long day and feeling vindictive!) cheers Jo Hi Ladies I do not know if you can help me but I am a New Zealander living in Asia and we want to come to Adelaide for the birth of our first child. My partner is presently 6 months pregnant. The problem we face is a "Catch 22" situation with the Australian Immigration Dept visa requirements. If my partner is to stay for more than 3 months, and we were thinking of coming down 2 months before the birth and staying for 2-3 months after, she is required to have a chest X Ray as a pre condition of a visa. As a pregnant woman 0f course she cannot be X rayed. We are at our wits end trying to find a way around this.could you help us in any way, have you heard of other people from overseas coming to Australia to give birth. I would be really grateful if you could help us in any way with this problem.
