I had a CT scan one month before my pregnancy.

Like X-rays, CT uses the principle of radiation to irradiate the inside of the human body. Therefore, CT is a widely used medical method for examining physical diseases. Pregnant women should not do CT scans because when CT scans the female body, it will have a certain impact on the healthy development of the baby in the belly and may cause fetal malformations. But if a woman has a CT scan one month before pregnancy, will it affect the baby?

Generally speaking, CT scans of pregnant women will have certain effects on the fetus, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, which is a critical period for the development of embryonic organs. The embryo is extremely sensitive to various harmful factors. X-rays have a strong teratogenic effect on embryos within 6-12 weeks, and can cause embryonic death when the deformity is severe. If the fetus is exposed to radiation in the early stages of growth,

It can cause fetal growth retardation. Generally, this kind of examination should not be performed during pregnancy. Now that you have done it, if you want to have a child, based on the situation you described, generally one time will not have any impact, but it is not absolute.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that you go to a relevant obstetric hospital to check and confirm the development of the fetus or do regular prenatal examinations. The doctor will give you a satisfactory answer based on your situation. Don't worry too much. In any case, you must keep a good mood, which is good for you and the fetus. From the perspective of eugenics, it is generally recommended to avoid exposure to radiation as much as possible in the first 3-6 months of pregnancy, but it depends on your situation and is not absolute.

Things to note during early pregnancy

1. The first is menopause.

2. The second is breast tenderness, nipple pain and other symptoms

3. Early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting and other pregnancy reactions

4. Avoid sexual intercourse within three months of pregnancy and after seven months of pregnancy to avoid miscarriage.

5. From the time you plan to get pregnant, start taking 0.4 mg of folic acid tablets (such as Silian) orally until the end of the third month of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus.

6. You can go online, but you cannot sit for long periods of time. Work fatigue, excessive stress and long periods of sitting are the main causes of miscarriage, not computer radiation.

What happened if I got pregnant just one month after having a CT scan? I have shared some information on this issue, and also mentioned some precautions in the early stages of pregnancy in the article. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Pregnancy is a difficult process, and pregnant mothers must adjust their mood.
