Is it safe to take chest xray during pregnanacy ?

Generally: It is generally best to avoid x-ray radiation exposure during pregnancy as a precaution. However, sometimes there is no good alternative, and exposure from a chest X-ray is low (comparable to flying from NY to LA) and your belly can also be shielded.
