When I was pregnant with DD#1 I had a possible broken toe and had an xray in my first trimester, they covered my belly with that protective gear and told me it will be fine.

Last night I was coming downstairs and walked farther to the right than I thought I was and was also walking quickly so I crushed my toes into the couch and one immediately swelled. (same toe I had the xray on last pregnancy) This morning It was still swollen, hurting and very bruised, it hurt to walk on it so I had to call into work and go to urgent care. I let them know I am pregnant and she referred me to a radiologist. When I went to the radiologist I waited about an hour or so before being called back. When I got back they asked if I may be pregnant and I said yes. They asked how far along and I told them I was not sure as my appointment isn't until next monday but I'm certainly in the first trimester. She then walked out and came in with another fellow who told me they will not do an xray on me because I am pregnant and in the first trimester. I don't understand, It's my foot, not my stomach or even chest area. I told him they did before when I was in my first trimester and they covered my belly with that protective stuff. He told me yes they do that but the doctor does not want to be responsible for any damage that may occur to the baby. He also said if it were my leg they'd have no problem but since it's just my toe they will not do it. I realize you can't do much about a broken toe however I would like to know whether or not I should take the next few days off of work. I was a little agitated even though I know the doctor was looking out for the baby to me it just doesn't make sense why it was ok for the same xray on the same toe with my first pregnancy and now it's not? even after being referred by the doctor who knew very well that I am pregnant and in the first trimester. Sorry for the rant, I guess my question is what would you do? assume it's not broken/fractured and just stick it out? or would you contact another radiologist who will administer an xray to determine the diagnosis?View Thread
