Is anyone has any idea about topic... I am 29 weeks pg.. I got a letter of appointment from radiology x-ray department for abdominal and pelvic scan (to check about liver swelling exist or not).
But I heard from many people, mums and aunties .. that if you go to hospital then avoid x-ray room itself like it is a GHOST.. be far far awaaaay.. as much as you can .. as it deforms or distorts mental nerves.. brain and DNA or other things in baby... and sometimes even can be life risk for baby..
I googled a bit about it... it says they dont do high frequency x-ray on pregnant women... but what about the exposure I could get from other patient's scan radiation which will be going on near by...
I am scared very much... but doctor said that they need to find out that my liver has swelling or not.. before due date...... (to access any possibility of hepatitis)..
I am not sure now what to do... I dont want to avoid the test still want to avoid radiation ........... really confused
