Q: Exposure to X-rays after conception

Hello,
I’m very worried because my wife had several xrays done a few days after we conceived. Of course at that time we did not know that. After though, calculating it seems the x-rays where done about 6-8 days after conception. She has felt some pain but no bleeding. The x-rays where in the abdominal region. She had to drink a fluid while they took several x-rays. The tests lasted about 45 min. The intensity according to the hospital was 115. We are worried about birth defects and other risks such as cancer later in life. Do you know of any analysis or tests that can verify the effects at this stage of the pregnancy or do we have to wait?
