My vulva is swollen and the area looks darker than normal. I'm worried it could be cancer. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Hi, I am 37 years old, non-smoker, healthy, 5'2, 103 lbs, 3 months pregnant, and have factor V Leiden. 4 days ago, I experienced severe left chest pain and difficulty breathing after a morning workout and errands. The pain persisted, worsened, and returned 4 days later. I am starting Lovenox, a blood thinner, in 3 days for the rest of my pregnancy. I don't have insurance and the pregnancy visits are costly. I need an opinion before heading to the hospital—could it be just a pulled muscle?
