Can pregnant woman have xray done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Emergency, yes: In an auto accident or suspected non-abdominal injury, x-rays can be done. Ask for a lead abdominal shield and notify the treating entity that you are pregnant. The same is true for dental x-rays. Ohterwise, avoid x-rays especially in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy to avoid developmental fetal problems.
