I was in a similar situation like you - I submitted my PR application when my spouse was in her 7th month of pregnancy. I added my new born baby when application was at IP1 stage. Currently I am waiting for the final decision ( I am in IP2).
1) Our Gynaecologist gave a go ahead to do the X Ray after first tri semester - We did the X Ray during the 7th month of pregnancy and the hospital told us that its 100% safe and they also used proper protection to cover the womb.
2) Once the baby is born - you can add him/her to the application at any time before landing. If you land in canada and then baby is born then he/she is a citizen

Let me know if you have more questions.

Hello - Great ! What if we initially are planning to travel without the new born , I mean once the baby is born we just want CIC to add the additional details and later once we settled there we can take our child ?

You will have to enter Canada within the year of medicals expiry. Now if you enter without your child, then you will have to do child sponsorship process separately once you have become PR- It takes around an year. That means you guys will have to live separately. Also tourist visa will be almost impossible for child as parents will be PR

Yes, you are good to go for medicals just now as she is way over her 1st trimester. The hospital/clinic will make her wear an abdomen lead apron for baby's protection and generally, the x-ray dose is very less so don't worry.

All the best!
