A member asked:
How can you safely have a pelvis x-ray without an lead apron on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely safe: X-rays are usually avoided during pregnancy because there's a small chance the radiation may harm the developing baby. But if the x-ray is necessary, it will be done in the safest way possible.
