Yup baby will be perfectly fine. I broke my ankle at 26 weeks. They told me that it's so low away from my tummy that baby will be fine. They did shield me to but you  did to. Tylonal not the extra strength just regular worked fine for me, I also kept it elevated with a big bag of frozen peas on it for the swelling.  I'll admit being in a cast and on crutches was not easy but I already had a budha belly to lol. You'll be fine :-) good luck mama

You need to let the person who is doing your xrays know that you are pregnant.

Just call your dr and ask for a different pain medication. You can take extra strength tylenol in the mean time.

It's not likely.  There is some scattered radiation, but it just isn't that likely unless you're exposed for a great length of time.  Did they put a vest n you anyway?  I had 2 different x-rays done around 10 weeks (because I'm clumsy) and another a couple weeks later at the orthodontist.  I'm now 39 weeks with what appears to be a healthy baby.
