Angiogram
Hi, i have recently discovered that i am 5 near 6 weeks pregnant and have to get an angiogram on tuesday. Is this safe? Will it effect the baby?
Yes there is a possibility that harm will come to your baby. To suggest such a procedure while so early in pregnancy must be because they feel you are at great risk with your heart. I would ask about the risks, and I assume they KNOW you are pregnant? In most cases angiography will be refused if you are pregnant. I believe the chemicals used pass through the placenta, which means they will enter your child and possibly cause deformities.
