Use Lead apron: They are safe only if a lead apron is used to cover the abdomen if you are or suspect that you might be pregnant to avoid fetal alterations during development.

Safe: As long as you certain guidelines are adhered to xrays during pregnancy are safe. You should be covered with a lead apron and xrays should only be taken for diagnostic purposes only. It is alright to have treatment done while pregnant and only if absolutely necessary during the third trimester.

Safe but avoid: It is safe with lead apron but a good rule is to avoid them until you have the baby for safety and avoid complications.
