Xray before you knew?

Question

They day before I found out i was pregnant my daughter needed two chest xrays. My husband and i had been trying to conceive for months so i honestly believed I couldn't get pregnant. I helped hold my daughters arms but I was also wearing a lead apron. I tried to look it up but I'm not finding anything!! I'm freaking out I just want my baby to be okay 😭

Answer

You wore lead so you were protected. A few days prior to finding out I was pregnant with my son I had and MRI and X-ray of my knee. Baby was fine. I wouldn’t worry

Answer

You're fine. You were out of the direct beam and wearing an apron. You would get more exposure walking around outside than you got in that room. I had prolonged radiation exposure during a steroid epidural 2 days before I found out I was pregnant and everything is fine.

Answer

X-rays are sooo minimal with the amount of radiation now and you were wearing a lead apron so you will be ok. It’s really only an issue if they can’t cover you in lead and have to do an X-ray of your abdomen while you are in the first trimester.

Answer

You're okay! I got xrays done while I was pregnant for dental reasons. they just had me wear a lead apron and told me it was perfectly safe even without the apron, it was just for additional precaution.

Answer

X-rays these days are digital, which means you get more radiation walking outside then from the machine.

Answer

You wore a lead apron. You're okay. Honestly with today's technology, it's mostly digital and there are less and less things to worry about when it comes to the x-rays. I'm sure that you will be okay. I know it's scary, especially when you can't find any answers! You should be just fine ♥️
