Had gastric emptying scan, endoscopy, and abdominal x-ray last week found out today I'm PREGNANT! Am I at risk?


Posted by terimains

Told Dr's of possibility of pregnancy..Husband and I were trying. I got sick and had to stay in hospital for a week. The listed tests were performed and pregnany tests were negative, blood and urine at that time. What are my risks? I ate radioactive eggs for the emptying scan. Very scared for my baby!

well one never knows but if it eases your mind at all the baby doesn't get nutrition from the mother until around 6wks- since the pregnancy tests came up negative at that point then I think by the time that 6wk window comes that radioactive material would have passed from you system

Though it is always better to be safe than sorry so I'd suggest ringing up the physican and ask him if there are any significant risks that you should be aware of
