Hello ma'am and welcome.
Yes, there do exist chances. Although your fetus is barely in the developmental stage, the effects of radiation this early have shown to have var various effects on the fetus. Please report to an obstetrician/gynecologist at the earliest.
Your doctor will most probably monitor your fetus until the 20 th week, and based on the growth and development report the status and leave the decision to you.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
