cat scan and xray while pregnant

I got in a car accident and when I went to the hospital they gave me a chest x-ray and a head and neck cat scan I was just wondering have anyone had any xrays done during their pregnancy? I'm scared that my baby is going to come out with something wrong With it. please give me some advise so that I can stop worrying So much.

My dentist wouldn't give me x rays on my mouth because I was pregnant ... so not sure how safe it would be for other parts of your body

No x-ray or catscan. But im scheduled for an MRI on the 12th of this month. Im 20 wks and the dr. Knows im pregnant. She said it was safe. And that they'll cover my baby with like a led vest. But im still unsure. :/

I had x-rays done while I was pregnant  and  it was  safe. As long as it wasn't on your belly, you're  fine.
