About a week and a half ago I had an abdominal CT scan. My doc called me today to tell me I was pregnant. I believe I'm approximately 2-5 weeks. Making me anywhere between 1/2 week to 3.5 weeks pregnant during the scan. Will my baby be okay?

I'm sure the baby will be fine, make sure you let your OB know when you go in for your first appointment.
I did a little research and it seems that the lowest dose to an unborn child documented as causing biological effects is approximately 6,000 mrad.
Abdominal CT's are around 3,000, so you should be fine.

I really do not believe the CT Scan puts off the same radiation that X-rays do. Congrats, your baby and you both should be fine.

ask your gyno. i am not really sure. all i know is that radiologists always ask a patient if they are pregnant before a scan. so ask your gyno if your baby will be ok. btw, next time before you get a CT, you should take a pregnancy test, especially since you are sexually active and have a partner (this is for your next child though).

Probably. I was 8 weeks along and I had one. My "baby" is 3 and she is perfectly fine.
