Prenatal radiation exposure
Radiation exposure to an embryo or foetus while it is still in its mother’s womb. At certain stages of the pregnancy, the foetus is particularly sensitive to radiation and the health consequences could be severe above 5 rads, especially to brain function. For more information, see cdc’s fact sheet, “possible health effects of radiation exposure on unborn babies,” at http://emergency.cdc.gov/radiation/prenatal.asp.
