IS IT SAFE TO GET AN X-RAY DURING PREGNANCY?

Yes, it's often safe, but level of safety depends on the type of X-ray u need & how much radiation u're going to be exposed to

Most diagnostic X-rays don't expose the fetus to high enough levels of radiation to cause a problem

Exposure >10 rads is significant,but generally a diagnostic x-ray exposure amount is very less.(Eg - dental xray-0.01 millirad

But its safe to avoid unnecessary exposure.
