When she is further along, about a week before delivery you can have her x-rayed if you feel it necessary.
Thanks, I guess I just thought that knowing if she was or not early would help me to get ready for everything. (I am a total nerd about reading and learning stuff) I will wait until it's time for the x-ray. (that IS important to me because I will know when she is done delivering)
