Question
Did I harm the fetus when I fell and injured my arm at 3 weeks pregnant?
Answer
Based on the patient’s condition, X-ray exams during pregnancy may have an impact on the fetus, but not all situations will lead to deformities. It is recommended to undergo a screening exam at 5-6 months of pregnancy to determine the health of the fetus. If deformities are found, consider undergoing a surgical termination of pregnancy.
