X-rays And Ct Scans While Pregnant Posted: 12-30-03 16:03pm
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.
