In brief: Yes
Early stages of pregenancy in general doctors avoid x-rays , will order only indicated, radiation exposure is very minimum, if ordered will cover with lead shields, exposing only part that need to be x-rayed.

In brief: They can
shield the pelvis but it will obscure part of the abdomen.
