As long as your tummy was covered and any compitent technichian would do this, then your ok. I had 6 foot x-rays probably about a week after conception and had no idea I was pregnant. My doc said as long as the belly is covered your fine. He said the main problems that could occur is implantation problems if anything.. my baby implanted fine. The rays pass through you and dont move to other parts of your body. I was terrified that something would be wrong with the baby. all ultrasounds show a healthy baby boy. I would not worry. If you have what to expect when your expecting they have a section in about x-rays. I would not worry.
