    Elevated d dimer levels in pregnancy w/ chest pain
    Hey ladies, forgive the group message it just saves time :)... Can you say a prayer and have those you know pray too. Ive been having chest pain and went in and my D Dimer levels (blood clot indicators) are high. 4× the normal. They had me do a CT which is not good during pregnancy but vital. No clot was seen in the chest but doesn't mean they aren't anywhere else. I'm worried and pray that the radiation doesn't affect the baby. Also I have no clothes. My stuff doesn't fit and I lost my storage so I literally have nothing. What I did have my cousin made me keep on the side of her house and is completely ruined by the raine. I need maternity stuff in a bad way.Plus living here w my cousin is becoming difficult. I want to move SO badly. For my sake and my health and sanity as well as for our relationship. I need a better job and a car. I know its a lot but I'm doing all I can and need all the help I can get :-) thank you so much!

    Sorry this was not the question I meant to ask. It copied an email I had. Trying to figure out how to delete.

    d-dimer level at 1200. 12 weeks pregnant w chest pain
    I have been having chest pain in middle of my chest that radiates to my back as well as my shoulder. Shortness of breath as well when walking. I went in to ER and my d dimer was over 1200. Normal I was told was 300. I'm 34 and this is my 5th pregnancy, 4th child. The doctor had me do a CT scan of my chest and no clot was found. Chest pain still is bothersome :/. Has anyone else had this issue? I see my ob next week but I'm worried.
