Mri's And X-rays

I just remembered yesterday, that I had an
mri and several x-rays on my ankle during
my first trimester. And I was wondering
if anyone knew what the effects of this on
my baby can or will be?

Did the radiologist know you were pregnant
at the time? I dont have an answer at the
moment, but i'll look it up in my books!

Your not supposed to have x-rays anymore.
You should look at www.Babycenter.Com
and in the search hit x rays or something,
but I do know you shouldnt have any cuz
its not good for the baby

No, I didnt even know. If i'd known I
wouldnt have had this done. I even
signed something saying I wasnt pregnant.
(i had my period my first month so I had
no idea)

Yeah I had a dental xray after conception
but before I found out. They used to xray
the baby all the time to check up on it
like in the 60s. Its not good for the
baby, but I don't think 1 on your ankle
will be a problem!

Yeah, i'm not worried so much about the
x-rays. Mostly about the mri, I cant
find anywhere anything about that so I
guess i'm gonna have to rely on my doc
next week.
By the way, i'm having an ultrasound on
the 19th so maybe i'll know the gender.
=d I hope so, and i'm praying for a girl.

Ok, heres what I found...The most critical
period is from implantation to 6 weeks
after conception. Do you remember when
you had it? I think in most situations
now they put those lead aprons on all
girls at least, and that offers
protection. Also, mri dont involve
radiation and in most cases they arent
harmful to pregnant women. I really think
you will be fine, but ask your doc if you
are worried. He would be able to tell you
more. Try not to stress out about it, its
not your fault, you didnt know you were
pregnant!

Lol - yay for us! Is it just me or does
it seem shorter when you think... Only 19
weeks or whatever instead of 4 months. 4
months seems like forever!
