Anyone had a chest CT when pregnant

[Family4Christ]

I had to have a chest CT to rule out an embolism today. They wrapped me like a burrito with the lead covers and all, but I had to have iodine contrast.

So, have any of you had a chest CT and your baby was ok?

I just had one two weeks ago and this made me feel it was safe enough to proceed: http://hps.org/publicinformation/ate...nexposure.html

I wouldn't worry about it. They wrapped you up, and by now your baby is pretty well formed. I had an xray just before confirming I was pregnant (of my abdomen) and my midwife assures me that the chances of it having any ill effects are pretty low. Of course I still haven't gone to the dentist for a tooth ache because I'm being a little paranoid about getting any extra radiation after that.
