I had a bad fall and the ortho is saying X-ray needed for my wrist. But im 14 weeks and tension ho rahi hai about the baby. Is it actually risky or they take precautions? pls tell.
My radiologist friend and doctor both said that abdominal x-rays should be avoided due to radiation risk to the fetus. If it's for teeth or chest, they might do it with a protective lead apron, but always consult your gynac first.
I am currently trying to conceive and even I avoid going near x-ray rooms at clinics. If you really need one, please ask your doctor if it's safe to do or if it can wait.
Oh god, please avoid x-rays during these months! Better to focus on eating healthy cravings and staying safe inside. Definitely discuss with your doctor if they can do an ultrasound instead.
I understand how stressful these decisions can be, but please protect your precious little one. Avoid any x-ray scans unless your doctor says it's absolutely safe and necessary right now.
I had a very difficult journey with PCOS before conceiving, so I became super cautious. General advice is to strictly avoid x-rays unless it is a life-saving emergency and always tell the doctor you are pregnant so they can use a lead shield.
