Is It Dangerous To Be Exposed To X-ray At 19 Weeks Pregnancy?
Hello Doctor, I was 19 weeks pregnant when I accidently exposed to x-ray. I took my maid to the nursing home where they advised to take an x-ray of her elbow. I was in the x-ray room at the time while x-ray was being taken. Please let me know if my baby's health is at risk?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
It is concerned a risk factor to be exposed to x-rays dhring pregnancy, and I do not understand why the x-ray technicians did not practice more safe techniques.
Do not panic, as it also depends on how much of the rays you absorbed. Discuss this with your doctor, who will be more vigilent during the upcoming ultrasound examinations.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
