Is mri safe in pregnancy?
My gynaecologist mentioned I might need an MRI if a certain issue persists, but I'm pregnant and worried. I've heard different things about it. Is MRI generally considered safe during pregnancy for both mother and baby?

Yes, it is safe because it doesn't use X-ray radiation. Doctors avoid using contrast dyes during pregnancy, so just make sure the hospital staff knows you are pregnant before the scan.

Yes, it is considered safe since there's no harmful radiation. Just try to stay relaxed during the scan, and keep up with your daily walks if your doctor says it's okay.

It is generally safe as it uses magnetic fields rather than harsh rays. Practice deep, calm breathing if you feel anxious inside the machine, and always consult your doctor first.

MRI is safe since it uses magnetic resonance instead of radiation. Just log the appointment and discuss it with your OB-GYN to make sure all parameters are clear.
