Trust in God and stay positive, dear. If the doctor has prescribed it, it must be for your well-being, and they know what is safe for the baby. Take a deep breath, keep chanting, and everything will be perfectly fine.
MRIs don't have harmful radiation like X-rays, but doctors only suggest them if it's really necessary. Don't go for it on your own. Talk to your gynac clearly, and if they recommend it, ask them to suggest a safe, reliable lab.
I had to get an MRI in my second trimester for a back issue and I felt so terrified for my baby. But my gynac assured me it doesn't use radiation, so I went ahead. It turned out totally safe, but please check with your doctor before booking anything.
When my doctor suggested an MRI, my mother-in-law got really scared about the baby's safety. But we talked to the gynac together, and she explained it's safe and doesn't use harmful rays. Definitely consult your doctor to clear any doubts.
It is generally considered safe because there is no radiation involved. However, always let the MRI technician and your gynac know that you are pregnant. They will take all safety precautions, so don't worry too much!
I'm currently 5 months pregnant and my doctor said they avoid MRIs in the first trimester unless absolutely urgent. Are you having some specific pain that needs checking? Do let us know what your doctor recommends.
Yes, MRIs are safe because they use magnetic fields, not radiation. But you should never get one done without your gynac's written reference and approval. Just consult your doctor first and they will guide you properly.
