Passed medical...

[T and M 1]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help and advice and support. I just posted to the medical thread, but I thought I would say something here, given the exciting nature of our medical. When the medical approached, Milena was a couple of weeks late. This has happened before, so we did not think much of it, but I did read about the risks associated with x-rays, etc, just in case. When we filled out the forms, we of course wrote that it was possible that she was pregnant and that she was two weeks late. This meant that no MMR vaccination was possible and that we had to fill out a release form for the x-ray. We went to our GP later that morning and received a pregnancy test, POSITIVE, the Polio vaccine, and a letter confirming that she is pregnant. This was faxed to Bentwick Mansions this morning and it appears that all is on track for the embassy to receive our medical approval on Monday, just in time for our appointment next Friday!

We couldn't be happier. As I mentioned in the earlier post, this process, which was quite painful, appears to be nearing a very very exciting conclusion!

All the best to all of you. And once again, THANKS!

Congratulations!!!

Have you thought about names yet?

We were thinking Visa would be appropriate. Or maybe Bentnick.

Thanks for all your kind words. We had some names picked out, but now that this thing is real we are reevaluating!

Wow, the best medical ever...though I would have been concerned if Nicky found out he was pregnant after his

Supposedly the only thing more exciting one could find out is that their potential spouse isn't what they claimed. In the medical thread there is news that the doctors find a dozen or so imposters every year. The drop-the-pants test is meant to find that one out. Milena didn't mention that part of her test, but I'm assuming it protocal was followed.

To be clear, we had to go our GP to have the pregnancy test....Bentwick doesn't do pregnancy tests. And by the way, I don't recommend this method of taking the medical, as it could have led to a serious delay had we not been lucky with a really really kind GP and nurses.
