[Stacey88]

I am so nervous and scared! I had an MRI done on May 4th for my back. And they ask those questions are you pregnant and I answered no cause I seriously didn't know or think I was.I had my last period April 14th so I was like no I am not. Well today I took a pregnant test and I am!!! Which today is May 14th. So I should be starting my period today but the past week I have felt different.So I decieded to take a test. So Now I am scared to death that the MRI could have hurt my unborn baby!!! I don't know what to do. I feel like throwing up! Please help!!!!

everything i have found while looking it up for you does not show any risks to pregnant women/fetus, as MRI's do not emit radiation.....but you should still ask your dr, as he'll be able to make sure....however, webmd, and several university hospitals are on record stating there have been to teratogens(sp?), introduced to the fetus during an MRI because there was no presence of radiation during an mri.....

congrats on your pregnancy!

I think it is probably fine.  I would just make an appt. with your doctor as soon as you can and see what he/she says about it.  It was so very early then.  So, I really believe that it will be okay.
