Chest x-ray at 22w pregnant

I have a medical exam coming up and they require me to do a chest x-ray. I will be 22w pregnant at the time of exam and the clinic assured me that protection will be given. Is it safe enough for the baby? Have any moms done an x-ray while they're pregnant? I'm so worried that it could affect my first baby. Tia #firstbaby #pleasehelp #1stimemom

Since u are feeling worried, will it be possible to not proceed with the X-ray at this stage? Can postpone the X-ray to after confinement? Especially if there is no urgency for this medical examination. Another way is to speak to your Gynae and seek advice on whether such protection offered by your doctor is sufficient. I am very risk adverse so I would avoid going for the X-ray altogether until I deliver - that’s my personal view.
