Not to worry: You had a shield. Modern x-rays are directed only at the area of interest. The radiation that you received was scattered and not harmful.

Should be safe...: It is good that you were wearing shielding, and even if you weren't optimally protected, your baby will be ok given this one time event. Now that you know of your pregnancy status, you can avoid any additional exposure. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and i hope your boy is doing ok.

What was the X-ray?: If plain x-ray of chest, limb or abdomen, zero problem. If ct, dose to you is not zero, but too low to have any significant risk to you, and unborn baby even less dose. Do not worry about it. Good luck!

Pregnant and Xrays: Yes, it sounds like the appropriate protections were taken.
