Patient's question:
On September 30th, a clean-up was conducted. On October 6th, during a health check-up, a chest X-ray and a urine test (to check how pregnancy occurred) were performed. The results were negative. On October 28th, in the morning, a pregnancy test showed a positive result. Will this affect the child?Doctor's answer:
During the pre-pregnancy stage before delivery or after delivery if you get pregnant again, this period is not recommended for imaging studies such as X-ray chest examinations. When you have a chest X-ray, it may be that you have not yet conceived or have just conceived. At this time, the interference of harmful factors on the embryo should be all or none. If there is an effect, it may lead to a miscarriage. If there is no interference, the embryo will self-repair to become a normal fetus. It is recommended that you carefully observe and take folic acid orally to prevent neural tube defects until the fetus is three months pregnant.
