Before scans women were routinely scanned in pregnancy. Try not to worry .

I had to have a chest x-ray when I was 5 months due to breathing problems. They were very reassuring at the hospital, telling me that one off x-rays during pregnancy are now deemed to be so safe that they don't even give you those lead covers anymore.
