belly an abdominal cat scan

[Chrissymomto3]

I'm livid this Damn hospital didn't listen to me telling them that I might be pregnant they checked my pee it came back negative I told them wait for the blood test to come back and they didn't wait they took me to do my cat scan then they are going to tell me after the scan Oh your pregnant the blood test can back positive. Ya think!!! So now me being 2 weeks pregnant I've been exposed to radiation from the Damn cat scan. ... im freaking out should I be worried??

Ur fine... ladys can work at nuclear plants prego.. u can be exposed to so much radiation before it hurts anything...

Your welcome. If you think bad then bad things are going to happen. So i would not worry cuz whatever happens happens. I was worried too when i had to get the xrays but no matter if there is to have sonething happen to the baby just love him/her with all your heart.

Thank you for the reassurance I only started freaking because the doctor was all dooms day or you could miscarriage or the baby could have issues because of our being so early in my pregnancy with the radiation etc etc but I'm glad that everything should be ok

[crazybeautifulgal1621]

You should be fine. Baby should be fine too. Just over worried and that happens when you find out or think your pregnant. Mom instinct kicks in. I broke my should last summer when i was pregnant with my son and i had to get xrayed 3 different times to find out exactly where the break was and to make sure my arm didnt move the broken bone out of place and my son is fine and healthy thriving 14month old

Nope no consent form they figured that since the pee test was negative that I wasn't which I know it's Betty early but I just knew that's why I stressed for them to check via my blood

My ob actually had me do a cat scan with one of my pregnancies due to complications, my baby was ok

You are OK. I just had to have a CAT scan and it took 3 doctors to calm me down and explain the amount of radiation needed to cause a problem is equivalent to a minimum of 5 scans. Although if you told them to wait then there is a problem. Did they make you sign a consent form?
