I had a bone density scan unknowingly pg Panic!

[ProlificYoungGentlemenBreeder]

21st feb was my scan & she asked me if I was pregnant and I bloody was! But it was the 17th that we dtd it takes 6-12 days to implant- it will be ok won't it
I only found out I was pg yesterday.
< panic>
Please help!

I do remember her saying the radiation was just like being in the sun for a couple of hours

dont worry! im sure it will be fine! :)

maybe ring them up just so they can put your kind officially at rest?

mind*

I agree - give them a call :)

Call the midwife?
Thanks for your replies.
Im trying to be rational!

the midwife probably wont know to be fair, i would ring the unit that did the bone scan.

I had an xray and cat (I think?) scan at 35 weeks pg. I bloody knew I was pg! But I had to have them - the drs were concerned about my breathing and thought I might have a clot (I didn't). I remember crying because of the effect on the baby and the specialist told me it was the same radiation as a flight to Australia. They covered up the baby with a lead apron for the xray but the scan thing was a full body one iirc. Baby is now 2.5

But call them.

Ok I'm calling them!
Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know what they said.

Right there is no one there at the moment but from what I read on their website; "The DXA scan is very safe and uses a very low dose of x-ray".
I'll call again on Monday.

Thanks for being so kind, this is why mumsnet is great.

I had a scan a while ago, before TTC, the lady asked if I could be pregnant and I said no, but she did say that the radiation is very low and probably wouldn't cause any problems but they are extra cautious. I wouldn't worry too much, but call the unit where you had the scan on Monday

im sure you'll be ok i think they are cautious and whether you have the xray depends on the risks of not having it iyswim, i went to dentist when ttc and he asked if i could be pregnant and i said i was trying so he didnt do it because it wasn't necessary, ring again Monday

congratulations :)
