The bones don't calcify until after 45 days so an x-ray at this point is too soon. Are you sure your vet isn't recommending an ultrasound? You can do an ultrasound at this stage to verify pregnancy and possibly count puppies, but ultrasound is not very reliable for counting puppies. You should x-ray around day 58 to get an idea of how many puppies there are.
