Denmy;
Please don't abort bb!
I went thru the same thing as u when i was preggers with rory. Went for my pre-employment checkup (inclusive of chest x-ray) less than a week before conception. I also stupidly and unknowingly took a short course of antibiotics (doxycycline) in my 8th-9th week because i was breaking out badly due to the pregnancy hormones - i didn't know i was pregnant until the 15th week! how stupid can i be?!? Till this day still want to kick myself.
According to reference books, Doxycycline can cause bones deformation and dentation problem (yellowing of teeth especially). My gynae, Dr Lisa Chin, sent me to Professor Anandakumar at Camdem Medical Centre for detailed ultrasound scan and 2nd opinion. Prof Ananda was so jovial, fatherly and reassuring. He told me there's virtually no risk from the X-rays and from his scans, rory was developing fine. and that i shouldn't worry about the doxycycline because there's nothing a good dentist cannot do. Moreover, doxycycline these days are alot less 'damaging' than they used to be. Rory has 3 teeth now, and they're all pearly white
I remember waiting for my turn at the professor's clinic...was praying so hard for my baby's wellbeing and could feel myself shake from the anxiousness because I feared I would have to abort my baby.
I hope u feel more reassured
If you're worried, you might want to ask ur gynae to refer u to Prof. Anandakumar.
All the best,
Cass
