Chest x-ray at 22w pregnant

I have a medical exam coming up and they require me to do a chest x-ray. I will be 22w pregnant at the time of exam and the clinic assured me that protection will be given. Is it safe enough for the baby? Have any moms done an x-ray while they're pregnant? I'm so worried that it could affect my first baby. Tia #firstbaby #pleasehelp #1stimemom

If it’s me, I would err at the side of caution and avoid any X ray. Having said that, there shouldn’t be any side effects so long protection is given. In the earlier days my mother has to take xray of my elder brother to check on his fetal progress during pregnancy. Because they didn’t have ultrasound technology then. My brother is still alive and kicking today (40 years old)
