Chest x ray 6 month old

Help me not feel so guilty about taking my baby for a chest x ray and the radiation exposure. I cried for 30 min because I just freaked myself out. He’s had a cough for over a month and yesterday just had meds for croup. I felt like it got worst today

The radiation exposure from an x-ray is pretty minimal all things considered. In an adult, a chest x-ray is the equivalent to 10 days of the background radiation we're exposed to every day, to put it in perspective

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭

Anemia

So my results from the glucose test were good (that’s positive) but It looks like I have anemia. Someone in the same situation? Waiting to see what my doctor says, but any tips would be appreciated.

Prenatal/postnatal

How long are we supposed to take this for after birth? It’s been 3 months.
