X-rays early in pregnancy?

If a bitch was "accidentally" bred and she's turning 2 in 3 weeks can she be x-rayed for hips/elbows while early on in a pregnancy? Would it be better to do x-rays right after pups are born?

absolutely not!

No, and No. Do not do them now and you need to wait until well after the bitch has weaned her litter - like 3 months after whelping - to do the x-rays as the hips are lax at whelping.
