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

I shall skip the xray part. I went once for chest xray and they asked me if I'm pregnant and tell me if yes i was not allowed to take cause it can harm the baby. That point of time I'm not. I don't want to take any risk too. Best to consult your gynae again for a better advise and peace of mind ❤️
