Is Exposure To CT Scan Radiation During Pregnancy Harmful?
Hi, I had a chest CT scan on Dec 23, 2015. Then, my period came on Dec 29, 2015. Now, I am pregnant. Is it safe to be pregnant in the first period cycle right after chest CT scan? Somebody said it is in high risk and should not keep it. They also said that I should wait for three month before try it. I am very upset.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Do not worry.
You had done before the fertilization of egg or before the conceive.
Generally CT scan of abdomen and pelvic affect the fertilized egg and produce anomalies in child.
But you had done CT chest and also before implantation or fertilization of eggs.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
