xrayed before finding out i was pregnant - worried sick.

jassyjojo

Help. After trying for a few months I found out I was pregnant today. I am worried sick as I had a bad car accident a few weeks ago (week 3) and had to be xrayed from neck to pelvis. I did yell the hospital I may be pregnant but they did a blood test and told me 100% that I wasn't. On this basis I had a further neck xray and facet joint injections in week 4. I am petrified I have harmed my baby and am extremely angry with the hospital. Does anyone know what I should do?

Have you had an ultrasound yet?

Talk to your OB. They will be able yo determine if anything happened. Implantation may not have occurred with the 1st xrays. Don't stress until there's something to stress about. >-

I had dental work when I was 3wks or so and didn't know. I told my ob and he said since it was so early it'll be ok. But to be sure talk to your doc about it.

Only just did a test today. My period was 6 days late, and even though the hospital said I wasn't, well I just wondered ... so no ultrasound yet. Biggest worry is they xrayed my pelvis, but I only conceived 6 days earlier. I'm also worried bout neck xray and Steroid injections in week 4! O worry worry lol. See, I'm 39 next month, and we thought we had little chance because of my age. It could be my last chance. Thanks so much all. Xx

I say everything is fine. But whenever you do have a ultrasound, and see for sure your baby is okay, it will ease a lot of your stressing.
Congratulations!

It hasnt sunk in. Months of disappointment ... yet this month I was told I wasn't before having to wait for my period. Not telling daddy till I do ten more tests tomorrow. Would love some nice ideas of how to tell him. He will be so shocked as he was with me when the doc said I wasn't! He thinks I missed my period because of the stress of the accident.
