X-rays
Posted: 11-26-04 17:23pm

I'm still not sure if i'm pregnant yet, and the doctor I saw when I went to the clinic sent me for some x-rays. Since I heard that they were really bad if ur preggo, I asked the woman at the x-ray place and she said that she would give me double the protection and since it was just a chest x-ray there shouldn't be much radiation to a baby if I was pregnant.... That was about 3 days ago and I still feel like I might be pregnant, so do u think it would have hurt the baby if I am?

I have heard that xrays should not be given to pregnant ppl. But I could be wrong.

I heard that too, but the woman there said that there would be minimal radiation, and the doctor did a urine test before I went that was negative....Could be wrong though, I still don't know.

Im sure there are some clinics that you can go to around you, some may do it for free.
