What happens to the baby of a pregnant woman who gets an x-ray w/o knowing she is pregnant? What if no lead protection is used?

You receive more radiation from the sun then with normal x- rays, 1 or 2 x-rays pose no threat just don't a habit of them.But no lead apron was used, I work in the medical field and routinely take x-rays, a lead apron is always used, even if the abdominal area is getting x-rayed a thyroid shield is used.Did you have x-rays in the hospital or doctors office and what part of the body was x-rayed?
