Q: X-rays And Ct Scans While Pregnant

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital cause I was having trouble breathing. They performed a ct scan and x rays. I found out later that the radiation can scatter and a small amount of radiation can get to the baby even though they put a shield on my stomach, will this hurt my baby?

If the doctors new you were pregnant and took the precautions they had too then I think you'll be fine but if they did not know you need to tell someone asap.
