DVT During Pregnancy?
ladies, I'm 29w4d and Today after my OBGYN appt. I noticed my calf was aching. It hasn't stopped and is localized to a small area in my calf.
years ago my mom had a DVT so I know the warning signs. This pain hasn't gone away or gotten better w/pain med's like IBprofen or Tylenol. (I took it a couple hrs ago and no help yet) so I'm gonna take a trip to my local ER to get checked out.
I have localized pain and tenderness in my calf, my legs are always swollen so I don't know if it's more swollen or anything, and I can't tell if it's excessively hot or cold beacause as you know Pregnant women run warmer than most.
better safe than sorry. I'll update in a few hrs when I get home.

msgorgeous~ I can't wait either!
And to all: Well, I got to the hospital about 10pm my time (pst?) and had my bracelet on at about 10:40. The doctor said he didn't think it was a DVT after looking at my leg but agreed it was better safe than sorry and ordered a doppler on my leg.
It took 2 hrs for the tech to get there, and the tech did say that pregnant women have a much higher risk for DVT's.
then abotu 15 min. for the scan then another 1 1/2 hr for the doc to review it. Once I'd waited about 1/2 hr for the doc. to review it I figured that it was alright since they hadn't come in with bad news.
The doppler was CLEAR and the doc. diagnosed me with a pulled muscle in my calf and gave me care instructions for it. I guess I must have stepped the wrong way yesterday.
If I'd have gotten home by 1 the I'd have gone to work at 7am today, but I didn't get home until about 4:45AM! It takes about 25min. to drive home, so I came home and crashed! But I'm glad all is ok. I wish I'd have asked the tech to do a U/S of TJ... (he might've) but I didn't as i'm scheduled for a 3D U/S on FRIDAY(next friday) I'm just very happy all is good.
