It's a standard warning but an internal issue has way more risks. I get it I was so scared during mine but you just have to. Women get them done often pregnant look it up for yourself the risks are very low and just precaution.

Yes the cat scan has way more benefit then harm. You have to go back and agree to it.

Uh.. Why on earth would you refuse a cat scan? They only do that to absolutely rule out any possible injuries. You need to go back ASAP and get it done.

Go back to hospital and at 35 weeks I needed cat scan to rule out worse issues it's worth having the scan.
