I had a bad fall and the doctor at emergency mentioned a CT might be needed. I told them i could be pregnant. Now im so tense about radiation and baccha. I will ask my gynac properly but wanted to know if anyone had this situation.
I was told by my dentist to avoid even basic dental X-rays, so a CT scan sounds like something we should be very careful about. Did your doctor suggest this for some specific emergency?
Nahi yaar, pregnancy me CT scan safe nahi maana jata because of radiation. Agar doc ne bahut urgent bola hai tabhi options check karo, nahi toh scan bilkul avoid karna na.
My grandmother always said to avoid strong medical rays during these nine months. If there's an emergency, talk to your doctor clearly because they can use protective lead shields to keep the baby safe.
When I was admitted at Max Hospital, the doctors clearly explained that CT scans are only done if the benefits outweigh the risks. Please discuss this thoroughly with your hospital staff before going ahead.
Usually, doctors suggest ultrasound or MRI instead of CT scans to avoid radiation. Make sure you don't go for any scan without a written prescription and approval from your gynecologist.
Oh god, even I had to get an X-ray done last week and I was so anxious about the radiation. Has anyone else here had to undergo a CT scan during their pregnancy, and was everything okay?
