what happens when you have an ex-ray taken and you think you're pregnant?

Answer 1

If you think you're pregnant before you go in for the x-ray you need to let the x-ray tech. know. If you had the x-ray first and then have suspicions that you might be pregnant and might have been during your x-ray you need to let your doctor know right away.

Answer 2

You should not have an x-ray if you think you're pregnant. It could cause your child to be deformed. The x-ray people usually ask you anyway, but if they don't you should tell them, and they'll find some other way of treating you.

Answer 3

nothing.I had to have x-rays done on my knee while I was pregnant and my doctor told me that I would have to have multiple X-rays done every day of my pregnancy.For it to harm my baby.He said the radiation levels that are involved in x-rays aren't high enough to cause harm.And that theres never been a case when a baby has been born with any form of an deformity that was caused by an x-ray.My baby was born 3 months ago.She completely healthy and has no problems at all.

Answer 4

The chances that your baby will come out with a deformity due to x-rays are very small. The doses used in common diagnostic x-rays are no where near high enough to cause birth defects. Five rads is believed to be the minimum exposure compatible with significant fetal risks. The estimated exposure of x-rays include:
Dental: less that 0.02 rads Hip film -0.02 rads
Chest x-rays (two views): 0.02-0.07 rads Mammogram -0.02 rads
Abdominal view: 0.10 rads CT scan head/chest -1 rad
IVP: less than 1 rad CT scan pelvimetry -0.25 rads
