X-rays at 8 weeks pregnant?
I am terrified because I had a toothache and a previous dental appointment and they did x-rays. I had previously called the OBGYN to ask them if it was okay to get dental x-rays. They said yes, no problem at all. But now I read that it should have been avoided, and I am terrified that it may have harmed the baby. They did a panaromic and about 10-12 others. At least they were digital x-rays, and supposedly used 50-90% less radiation than regular film x-rays. I know I can't change it--I was stupid not to know more for myself before I went, but am still worried and wondering why the doctor's office said go ahead and do it. We told the dentist they were pregnant and they said okay as long as the doctor said so (later they told us they don't usually do x-rays in the first trimester-after the fact!)
Help! I am worried sick! They did use the double shield on the abdomen.
