xrays?!

[mamatobe815]

Any pregnant moms have xrays done while pregnant? Had a dental appt today and they put one lead vest on me and took 7 digital xrays. Ive read dental xrays have very little radiation and much less if they are digital, but im a super paranoid FTM. Google never helps ease anxiety

Thank you so much Ladies. I over stress everything. I just want my baby to be okay!! I am 21 weeks and 6 days so im passed the first trimester recommendation. I went on google like i knew i shouldnt have  and seen so many negative things began to freak out. Wanted to ask moms first hand about their own experiences!

If anyone else wants to mention their experience please feel free!

I had a dental xray done when I was a few months pregnant with my first. He's 9 years old now and as perfect as perfect can be! So I wouldn't sweat it. There's always a risk in anything you do while pregnant, but the risk associated with an xray is low. I work in nuclear power, so I know about 'real' radiation :) Gamma is the stuff you don't want around your baby.

I had xrays done with the vest on at 15 weeks so i could get a tooth pulled im currently 32 weeks and the baby is doing amazing and she is healthy

I did dental x ray twice since being pregnant and a cat scan done but they put extra vests on me and my baby seem to be fine and growing well with no problems!!I don't think you have any problems to worry about!!
