Museum metal detector - pls help

hi ladies, hope y'all are doing good.

hubby n I are on vacation in Florence, Italy. At the Academia Gallery museum I walked through the metal detector completely forgetting that these scanners can be harmful to pregnant women. I'm 16 weeks today.

It's our wedding anniversary and I'm so scared I screwed up. my next scan is only at 20 weeks.

how bad is what I did? Could I have harmed my baby? any advice / own experiences please???

Thanks ragschubby ... I hope you are right, cuz I've not been able to take care of myself how I otherwise do back home in London.

I heard that airport metal detectors are safe, but museum ones are different ...
