Aw hun, it's good you've gone back to be checked out again. From your previous posts, do you think it may be stress related? Perhaps you have got run down as you've been going through a bit if a crappy time and your body is beginning to react? I hope you feel better soon and they look after you at the hospital x

Don't worry about the X-ray - they will give you a lead apron for your tum, baby is almost cooked anyway, and even without these things the amount of radiation a foetus gets from a CXR is small.

It's far more important to make sure you don't have pneumonia and if you do, treat it - the effects of you being unwell and not treated correctly on your bubba will be way in excess of an XRay.

If it makes you feel better - my last job before I had my LO was in a specialist branch of cardiology called electrophysiology. We often needed to put pacemakers or defibs into patients out if hours. This requires XRay screening. I was assured by everyone from Profs to the Imaging superintendent that there was bugger all risk to me or Flump - they even ordered me a lead 'dress' apron, so I didn't have to have the weight of a lead skirt across my pregnant tum!

Chest xray clear thinks crackles are due to asthma. .. still having nebulisers headache is worse codrydamol only helping for3-4 hours. .. Dr rekons it may be due to asthma but if still bad tmw then will see more senior dr. .. on a positive note baby is moving around like mad that's the main thing :)

Ask if the med reg is going to review you... I'm amazed they haven't asked for 'medics' in put! When ever I've 'Med Reg'ed' i usually end up being asked to review a couple of obs patients...
