Xrays and pregnancy

Posted By Trish on March 23, 1999 at 13:50:25:







I am about 11 weeks pregnant. When I was about 3 weeks pregnant I had 2 xrays. The doctor that did the xrays didn't know or ask if I was pregnant nor did he do a pregnancy test. This doctor told me that I had 318 rads of exposure to radiation.
I got something off the internet that said over 20 rads could cause birth defects. Is this a fraction of something or did they really screw up?
I have also had alot of cramping during the pregnancy, is this normal?
