I have a flight next week and im 5 months along. those scanners at the airport always make me a little anxious now. anyone travelled while pregnant, did u walk through them normally?
I flew a lot for work while pregnant and went through scanners with no issue, they are considered safe. But honestly if you prefer, just tell them you are pregnant and they do a manual check, quick and no stress.
I worried about this exact thing before a flight! Looked it up and the airport scanners are low level and considered safe for pregnancy. Still, I asked for the hand check just for my own peace of mind, and they were totally fine with it.
Airport security scanners are fine, I travelled through several while pregnant. They are low energy and considered safe. If you feel uneasy just request a manual check, totally allowed.
If you mean the airport walk through scanners, they are generally considered safe in pregnancy. But if it ever worries you, you can simply ask staff for a hand pat down instead, they allow that. For any medical scan though, always confirm with your doctor first.
