nausea after xray!

Im just about 32 weeks and went to dentist today, they took xray of my mouth.  They double shielded me, then once in room she wanted to take couple more, so she triple shielded me. I had 10 fill ins , not in too much pain, fell asleep on couch, once I woke up my husband was making grilled cheese, I'm not sure if it was the smell that made me nauseous or if I should be worried.

I know xrays aren't any good to get while pregnant and I'm def paranoid about it now, even though it was only of my head and they shielded me like crazy, I took 3 Tums last night and the acid reflux and nausea went away, must of been what I ate for dinner. I feel great now, my thoughts are the only things worrying me now. Hope I didn't make a bad decision

I had an abdominal xray while under general aneasthetic during surgery at 21wks pregnant. My drs weighed up the risks and benefits and took every precaution and I had absolutely no problems, gave birth to a healthy baby 2wks ago. I'm sure its not the xray but you're dr will be able to reassure you if you are concerned.

Have pretty bad heartburn every day, feel like it may just be the acid reflux.  Going to try some tums,see if maybe it subsides, if not I'll be calling first thing in morning.

Probably not from the x-rays,  and more from what they used to numb your mouth. But like I tell everyone who is worried on here,  your best bet for a calm mind is to call your dr. And ask
