A two view chest x-ray series is not a significant dose of radiation and would most likely have no effect on the fetus. The greater the distance between you and your son at the moment of x-raying then the less exposure to radiation for you and your baby. Your exposure would be greatly reduced (90+ %) if you were wearing lead sheilding at the time. Consider that the X-ray beam is fairly directional with much of the beam's energy is directed toward the desired target - which is not you. This minor exposure will almost certainly not create a problem for the unborn child. It is vulnerable, but it is protected within you to a degree, and it is a very small target.
If it was an indirect exposer like that then chances are your baby will be fine.
I checked an article titled "Experts: Some X-ray exposure may not harm fetus"
at http://www1.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/291-05182008-1535711.HTML
It basically said that even if you yourself was being X-rayed that there was often no harm that is done, and that many patients, and even some doctors have greatly exagerated the risks of X-ray exposer. X-rays to certain areas of the body, or done in different ways, of course can be harmful to different degrees. The Trimester you are in is also an important factor. 1st trimesters are at the most risk because the fetus is still being formed and more sensitive. 2nd-(which I think is what you are in if you are 3 months) is much less risk, but there is still some. 3rd is basically the same as if you or me got too much radiation-it might cause cancer later in life but shouldn't effect the babies development. The article stated that for many kinds of X-rays, that the mother can get, there is much less of a risk than most people think. Being the fact that you yourself where not x-rayed, but was simply indirectly exposed (I imagine you mean you were in the same room when it happened?) Its a safe bet that you have nothing to worry about. Now if on the other hand by (indirect exposer) you meant you were accidently stuck in a room for 45 minutes while emergency techs were desperately trying to open the door - with an X-ray machine that had gone bonkers as it irradiated everything in sight.....well then perhaps you should worry, otherwise anything short of an experience similar to what Spock went through at the end of Wrath of Khan,(sorry about the geeky reference lol) I think you and your baby should be just fine!
No because it is terratogenic or may harm the baby.
I took few doses of ibrufen in my first weeks of pregnancy not knowing that i am pregnant i want to know dangers that my foetus may be exposed to
X rays are ionizing radiations. When the fetus is exposed to X rays, you can get the fetal malformations. X rays are better avoided in pregnancy.
If you had chickenpox as a child, there is no special care required if you are pregnant and were exposed to chickenpox.
All smoking during a pregnant is harmful and when the child is born it will be exposed to second hand smoke. I suggest quitting as soon as possible to protect your kid.
No, not at all. Pregnant women exposed to an eclipse of the moon often have werewolf children, with one big eye in the middle of their forehead, and prehensile tails.Wink.
Yes, she certainly can if exposed to a stallion enough that she goes into heat when exposed to him.
there is a chance..
Number one..You should not do drugs when you are carrying a baby..I have a granddaughter that was exposed to methadone at birth...Of course my daughter did not inform me that this was going to happen..It was not a pleasant surprise..But once she found out she was pregnant, she was honest with her doctor and she was told she could not stop taking the drug because she could do more harm to the unborn child, she had to continue use through her pregnancy.. Of course my granddaughter was exposed and had to be given methadone after she was born, my granddaughter was placed into my foster care ...Because my daughter was taking the medications without a script..2 years later I still have my granddaughter and my daughter has not gotten better...So the answer to your question is SHAME ON YOU...You should not have done the drugs or for that matter gotten pregnant to begin with....
Not all women who were exposed to DES develop problems in pregnancy
1. Insure that she is not pregnant with twins early in her pregnancy.2. Provide her with adequate nutrition during pregnancy and insure that she is not allowed to get too fat or too thin.3. Maintain her worming and vaccination schedule, insuring that she is not exposed to either during the first 90 days of pregnancy which is when organogenesis of the fetus occurs. Vaccinate 30 days prior to the expected foaling date. Many be not all breeders vaccinate for "Rhino" at 5,7 and 9 months of pregnancy.4. Insure she is not exposed to any toxic weeds during pregnancy.The good news is that most mares will foal without any complications as long as they are carrying a single baby.
No it is bad, marijuana during pregnancy would affect your baby's growth and the development of his nervous system. Studies have shown that children who were exposed to marijuana during pregnancy sometimes have problems focusing their attention and solving problems just among somethings.
