Hi. I am beginning to wonder if I may be pregnant, although the HPT said negative yesterday. On the 26th of Dec I was hospitalized and needed two x-rays of my lungs. I am wondering if anyone knows the effects or possible damages that can be done by having an x-ray if a woman is pregnant as early as 4 weeks. (If I am, I would have conceived on Dec. 1st, 2007) I cannot get into see my doctor until Jan. 7th, 2008.


Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. :confused:



Happy New Year to all!

x-rays are dangerous to the baby but it would not be a guaranteed miscarriage either. When women get x-rays they typically but those heavy blanket things over you to protect your ovarys because x-rays are dangerous to them too. If you are pregnant the baby should be fine especially that early because if they were not owrried about your avaries being damaged the baby shouldn't be harmed either.
