Can a child be kept after having a chest X-ray before pregnancy?

Patient's question:

On March 13th of this year, I had a medication abortion. On June 12th, I had a chest X-ray during a pre-employment physical. On June 13th, I had my last menstrual period. On July 15th, I found out I was pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, the aforementioned drugs have a strong teratogenic effect on the fetus and can cause certain impacts on the fetus. From the perspective of eugenics and child-rearing, it is not suitable to become pregnant. If you want to retain the fetus, it is recommended to undergo prenatal health checks and regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, the patient should pay attention to self-care. For induced abortion patients, self-care measures include a balanced diet, avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
