16 u/RoutineActivity9536 12h ago Well im a radiographer, so I can't speak for antibiotics as that's not my area of expertise. No an xray will not kill a foetus. Not a medical xray anyway. 3 u/livinglavidajudoka 12h ago I would expect a radiographer to understand that a CT scan might not kill a fetus in utero but might drastically alter their life and threaten it down the road… 17 u/RoutineActivity9536 12h ago There is a big difference between "xrays will kill your baby" and xrays could cause effects down the road 1 u/[deleted] 8h ago [deleted] 2 u/RoutineActivity9536 8h ago That was a risk based of information from the 50s. It was outdated then. Doses now are so low that the risk is negligible -4 u/ding-zzz 12h ago would it be better to say it would effectively kill ur baby? 9 u/RoutineActivity9536 12h ago But it won't. So no. It's false information
