Xrays
Can you get Xrays whilst pregnant? I’ve tripped down the stairs, about 5 steps and hurt my ankle badly, would they be able to xray it or would I be waiting in A&E for no reason

Yes, you can, as long as it isn't of your belly, which would expose your baby. Your baby is especially at risk in the first few weeks of pregnancy. X-rays of your limbs, teeth, head, and chest tend to be safe enough, though. They do not expose your baby to direct radiation
They tend to put a cover over your bump when they’re xraying you from what I’ve been told. It can cause some issues having the xray however if you go to a&e they’ll be able to give you better advice. You’re best to get checked regardless x
