I’m currently suspected and being treated for pulmonary embolisms (clots in the lung). Has anyone else and how did u deal with them wanting to do X-ray, CT scans and VQ scans. I’m 11 weeks pregnant and so far I’ve refused a CT scan as they told me there is higher risk to baby Depending cancer due for their cells not completely finished forming
They then came back and said I can go for a VQ scan which is safer in pregnancy. Now upon reading up on it it’s saying I need to breath in radiation and it’s actually worse for Baby than CT but lower risk for me developing breast cancer due to breast being more sensitive in pregnancy
Has anyone else been in this situation and how did u get through it?
I’ve had 3 loses before this pregnancy so so worried about doing best for this baby
