Can you hurt your unborn child if you did Radiography since you are a Vet tech?
Southerncharm21
Employers of radiographers may let employees decide if they want to declare pregnancies. Overexposure may lead to:
• malformation of the fetus
• leukemia and other childhood cancers
• possible gene mutations
Standards organizations say that a fetus shouldn't be exposed to more than 5 rad or .5 rem during a pregnancy. According to an article by a radiation oncology administrator, "In most cases, radiation workers can continue their present job with no change in duties and still meet the dose limit for the embryo/fetus."
He goes on to state that "no significant risk is likely at doses below established occupational dose limits." The amount of radiation a female radiographer is exposed to regularly at work (the occupational dose) is likely safe, but knowing the risks and discussing them with an employer is important.

Can getting a Steroid injection hurt an unborn child?
It can indeed hurt the unborn child. Most pregnant women do not smoke nor do they drink much alcholol during pregnancy. This enables the unborn child to get healthy and strong, and makes the change of giving birth to an unhealthy child significantly smaller. The same goes for steroids -- it would be un-advisable to use them during pregnancy. In fact, I would not recommend anyone to use them at all.
