Cat scans while pregnant? Help

Question

In the emergency room and they think I have blood clots in my lungs. Possibly getting a cat scan. I'm five weeks and really afraid for my baby. Has anyone else had one during pregnancy and was your baby ok?

Answer

I have no idea about that.  But, praying for you and your bun!  Hope everything is okay!  Keep us posted!

Answer

I'm fine now!! I never did get a chest catscan my levels were ok. I did however end up getting a head scan done for a concussion. I tend to get sick and/or hurt a lot.

Answer

I had a recent clot scar myself.  I have lupus and went to ER with chest pain.  All tests came back normal besides d-dimer at 0.6 (cutoff 0.5).  My OB reassured that pregnancy alone can raise that level.  What were the suspicions for PE?  How are you feeling now?

Answer

I had a head catscan today as they wanted to check my brain because I hit my head and have a concussion. They triple shielded my belly. This scared me. Anyone else have this and have a healthy child. I'm only 7 weeks.

Answer

Do they know your pregnant? I'm sure they wouldn't do something that would hurt the baby or at least not talk to about what could happen.

Answer

I had one on my head a few days ago they put a double layer lead apron over my belly and said there was no risk but I'm still worried xx
