My doctor has suggested an MRI for a certain issue, but I'm also pregnant. I'm worried about the baby. Is it safe to undergo an MRI scan while you are pregnant?
Honestly, you must ask your radiologist and gynac clearly about this. When I had a health scare, my hospital doctor explained that MRI is generally safe as it doesn't use radiation, but they take special precautions during pregnancy.
Oh god, pregnancy is so complicated! Yes, it can be done, but please don't take any decision without asking your doctor. I would probably fall asleep inside the MRI machine now with how tired I am, haha.
My mother-in-law was very scared when the doctor suggested a scan, but my gynac explained that MRIs are safe because there are no harmful X-rays. Trust your doctor's advice on this, they know what is best for you.
I am in my second trimester and my doctor mentioned an MRI might be needed for my back issue. I am feeling so anxious about how it affects the baby. Has anyone else had an MRI done while pregnant?
