Yes it’s fine. They will take necessary precautions and cover ur abdomen area with a lead shield. But ofc, u can always discuss with ur dr if the chest x-ray is rly necessary or if can wait till u give birth. Also, there’s more radiation when you take airplane compared to the chest xray itself and most people are okay to travel while pregnant and aren’t worried about the radiation hahahaha

Thank you for answering. Unfortunately I won’t be able to delay the X-ray :( I didn’t know that taking airplane has more radiation than chest X-ray?! Good to know. Knowing that it will be fine really put me at ease, but I’ve also seen people saying they got rejected for scan cause they are pregnant 😩
