Your baby is almost a newborn at this point. If there is a good medical reason, x-rays at this point in pregnancy are really no different than doing a x-ray on a newborn baby. In fact, we used to do pelvimetry studies on pregnant women. It was used to make sure the baby's head would fit through the pelvic outlet.
If you are not having pain, I would question the doctor. If you had damaged your pelvis, you would know it by now!

No because they use radiation and that is not good for the baby, thats why whenever you go for an x-ray they ask if there is a chance you could be pregnant or are you pregnant.
They usually wont do it if it's not an emergency, but i could be wrong i would just let them know before they do it you want to be 100% sure it's not going to hurt the baby!

The 2nd answer is correct. If you are in severe pain it is better to get the X-Ray to find out what is going on. 1-2 X-Rays are not going to hurt the baby.

No it is not recommended. But if its necessary, make sure you let the x-ray tech know that you are pregnant.

No, not unless there is absolutely no way in avoiding it. Studies have shown that exposure to x-ray puts the baby at a higher risk of developing leukemia.

Yes, as long as you're not going in for X-rays every month or so. If it's needed once, you can do it.

No. I don't think you're supposed to get any x-rays while pregnant.
