Xray for pregnant cat?

I have a pregnant cat due in about 2.5-3 weeks. I was considering getting an xray done to see how many kittens she has. She's a first time mom, I have no clue who the dad is (she was a stray that went into heat and got outside). Is there any reason to have an xray done so I know how many to expect so when she goes into labor, I will know if problems occur and when the last baby is delivered?

The reason for the xray is to know how many kittens she has so if there are problems with one of them, you will know it. If you know she has 5 kittens, but only delivers 4 of them and hasn't delivered the 5th one in a few hours, there is probably a problem and without knowing the 5th kitten is in there, you could potentially kill your cat.
