Yes.When pregnant X-raying the belly is something they only do in severe cases if you have been in a accident etc because of the radiation.
Same reason as why pregnant women are ultrasounded - to check on the progress of the pregnancy, and the health of the fetus.
"Ultrasound scans are routinely offered during pregnancy. You can expect an ultrasound around 18 to 20 weeks in pregnancy. It helps your healthcare provider check on your baby’s health and development. Need more information about your pregnancy, visit Benecare Maternity Hospital to learn more about pregnancy care.

ultrasound is used for scanning e.g. pregnant womens to check if the feotus is growing in better health
Physicians order an ultrasound scan to listen for a fetal heartbeat, determine a woman's precise due date and check for twins, among other uses.
NEVER a CT scan. In fact, if you are pregnant do everything you can to prevent exposure to xrays. 3-dimentional isn't a machine. Some ultrasound machines are capable of giving a 3-dimentional image and ultrasounds are used to check on the progress of the futus during pregnancy, it is not used in a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test is taked with blood or urine.
At around 45 days of pregnancy you can get x-rays to determine if 1) the female is pregnant and 2) how many puppies she has in there. This is very accurate (95%) and much better than getting an ultrasound because you can count their skulls and spines as they are now calcified.
Some women don't feel the baby move until month 4, 5, or 6 of the pregnancy. If you're concerned, check with your doctor. He can do an ultrasound to check on the baby.
Yes, you do. An ectopic pregnancy is just like a "regular" pregnancy for the first few weeks. Everything feels the same. An ultrasound is done early in a pregnancy to check things out, and if a pregnancy is ectopic, a good ultrasound technician will be able to spot it. There is no other non-invasive way to discover an ectopic pregnancy, and because of the risks posed by an ectopic pregnancy, it is critical to discover it early - if in fact there is one. Ectopic pregnancies are invariably life-threatening events, and prenatal care is important for that and many other reasons.
Most pregnant women get an ultrasound at the second trimester of pregnancy where the young fetus is most visible but it is possible to get an early ultrasound in case there may be any complications in early pregnancy.
It would be better to check with your doctor!
As an Ultrasound Technician, you are in the middle of what can be life changing situations with people. For example, if you are doing a routine pregnancy check up, and you see signs of irregularities or problems with the progress of the fetus, you've got to be very careful how you deal with the situation. The people you are dealing with are counting on you to guide them through these life changing situations. They need your complete professionalism and above all, they need your compassion and understanding. Read more on the below website.
It is very necessary since you will be on your second trimester and you need a regular check on the baby's heartbeat rate, growth, movement and health.
