No, baby will b ok: If you take radiographs as part of your job, then you are protected from any harmful effects by the walls and distance from the xray head. If there are other circumstances to your situation, then your obgyn needs to talk to your employer.

Hard to say: We need to know a little more about your circumstances. What type of x-rays are you taking? If you are not in the room where the images are taken there should be no problem (like a ct scanner). If you are in the room when imaging is being done you should wear an additional. "lead" apron that goes completely around your body and keep as much distance between yourself and the x-ray source.

Taking x-rays: If i were in your particular situation, i would have your obstetrician call your employer, find out more information regarding your specific job duties, x-ray equipment, safeguards and protection and possible ways to ensure that both you and your unborn child are completely safe. You, your ob\gyn and employer should be able to work something out. Get any medical restrictions in writing.
