You didnt know you were pregnant and had a mamgram and ultrsound when you were two three weeks pregnant how bad are the risks?

Answer 1

The risk to the fetus is probably low from the mammogram however I would talk to you doctor about your concerns. I don't think one mammogram during your pregnancy is going to pose a great danger to your unborn baby. "There is nothing to show that ultrasound is in any way harmful to the human fetus if the test is done when medically indicated by people who know what they are doing," Jacques S. Abramowicz, MD, tells WebMD. "But exposures should be kept to the lowest levels needed to achieve the medical aims." Optimally mammograms and ultrasounds should be done after the baby is born. Both mammograms and ultrasound during pregnancy do carry some risks however they would be considered small. Speak to your doctor about your concerns. Every patient and situation is different so it is best you be evaluated by a professional.
