[|AI|]  Hi Deena, first thing you need to do is confirm your pregnancy with urinary pregnancy test kit which is available over the counter on the pharmacy. Both x-rays and painkillers could be harmful in pregnancy, so you need to confirm the test before going for the same. In case if it is positive, and you still want to continue it there investigation like MRI and little blood test like CBC, ESR, Sr calcium, Sr it d, to rule out significant causes of back which could affect you in the pregnancy. If your pregnancy test is negative then you can go through all investigations as advice by your orthopedic doctor before planning a pregnancy
