Yes, X-rays are generally safe in pregnancy. If your doctor finds you need X-rays for a medical problem or injury, it's okay to have them. It's better for your baby that you be healthy.
Do all types of X-rays have the same amount of radiation?No. Different types of X-rays have different amounts of radiation. Medical x-rays use very small amounts of radiation. If you're in needs of an X-ray so your doctor can properly treat you, you should have the X-ray.
I found out I'm pregnant after I had an X-ray. What should I do now?You don't really need to do anything. The risk to your baby from radiation is so small that most doctors would treat your pregnancy just like any other pregnancy. If you're really worried about your baby's risk, a radiation physicist can figure out exactly how much radiation your baby has been exposed to. Usually, an unborn baby shouldn't be exposed to more than 5 rad. Because most x-rays cause much less radiation than this, talk with your doctor to see if it will even help to find out the exact number of rads your baby was exposed to.
If I have an X-ray, will my baby be born with a deformity?Medical X-rays don't increase the number of babies born with deformities or birth defects. Even with no X-ray exposure, 4 to 6 percent of babies are born with some type of deformity. And most of these deformities are minor, like skin tags or an extra finger or toe.
