Body scans at airports while pregnant

I’m travelling tomorrow and I know I’ll have to go through a body scanner. But I don’t feel comfortable doing that specially in my very early pregnancy. When I was 8 months pregnant with my first I asked to opt out but they kinda refused and said it’s safe and that I will get more radiation from the plane.
What are your thoughts? Did you go through them or asked to opt out?
