How The CAT Scan During Early Pregnancy Affects The Fetus?

I am seventeen years old. I had a Ct scan done. There is a possibility i may be pregnant. But if i am I concieved on the 17th of january, so I would be only two or three weeks pregnant. Is there a big percent chance that the CT SCan harmed or killed the unborn fetus?

yes. if u were only 2 to 3 week of having your last period and the pregnancy is confirmed . there is a mere chance of damage due to your xray exposure during ct. initial 2 months are very crucial for pregnancy becoz all the organs of baby are developed during this period . so if u were exposed to ct. u should go to your obstetrician for further management.
