It's understandable to have concerns about security measures during pregnancy if you need something for pregnancy, you can check the information here Online Pharmacy.While specific details about security procedures at the US embassy in Toronto may not be readily available, it's common for embassies to have security screenings similar to those at airports.

Most U.S. embassies, including the one in Toronto, typically use metal detectors or millimeter wave scanners, which do not emit ionizing radiation like X-rays. These are considered safe for pregnant women and are the same type used in airports. If you're still uncomfortable, you can politely request a manual pat-down instead — that’s usually allowed. It's frustrating that there isn’t more detailed info on embassy websites. Access to clear information and safe medical practices is so important — something Pharmacy B2B networks are working on improving too, even beyond meds.

Embassy security scanners (usually millimeter wave scanners or low-dose X-rays) are considered safe for pregnant women, but if you feel uneasy, you can request a manual screening.
