Have to travel by flight next week and im 6 months along. Thoda tension ho raha hai about walking through those security gates. Anyone done this while pregnant, was it fine?
Personally, I had to travel quite a bit for work while pregnant and went through metal detectors many times. My baby was born perfectly healthy. But if you feel uncomfortable, you can always ask the security female staff for a manual pat-down instead.
My saas was so worried about me passing through these security gates at the metro station! But actually, they are completely safe. I told her the doctor said it's fine, but just to make her happy, I sometimes asked for a hand search.
Since I had a loss before, I was incredibly cautious about every single thing, including security gates. They are medically safe since they don't use X-rays, but for my peace of mind, I simply requested a physical check from the lady guards. Do whatever makes you feel safe and comfortable.
Yes, they are totally safe! I passed through so many of them at malls while running to get my favorite street food cravings, haha. Don't worry about the detectors, just go enjoy your outings and good food!
Oh god, I used to panic every time I went to the mall or airport during my pregnancy! But honestly, I researched so much and even asked around—it is completely safe because they don't use harmful radiation. Try not to stress like I did, you and baby are fine.
