PPD Test is done for pregnant woman undergoing medical instead of Chest Xray, but you must inform the Dr. and the Xray Tech at Med Com.

Do you mean you are going for Medicals for visa and you are pregnant? They will ask you if you are pregnant before X-ray. Tell them you are. They are doing X-ray to rule out existing Tuberculosis in Lungs. There are other ways to check that in case you are pregnant.

Please do not go for X-ray In first trimester of pregnancy as it may cause congenital malformations in the baby. If X-ray is must due to unavoidable conditions, they give a protective clothing to be wrapped around your abdomen to protect baby from any exposure.

You mentioned in the QA section that she is 7weeks pregnant?

""From the third to the eighth week of pregnancy, the embryo is in the period of early embryonic development but is not affected with either birth defects, pregnancy loss, or growth retardation unless the exposure is substantially above the 20 rad (200 mSv) exposure.""

Do not go for an XRay. XRAY is not for pregnancy test. There are Pregnancy Test Kits available in the pharmacies here. Go and get one and pee on it. Thats how it works I was told.:)
