Pain in calf - pregnant

Need to start by saying I’ve had bad leg cramps all through this pregnancy and have quite bad anaemia which is being sorted by an iron infusion next week
Two nights ago I woke up with the weirdest horrible pain in my leg, almost like cramp; but just for a few seconds
Since then I’ve had a pain deep in my calf. I tried to just walk it off yesterday but when I woke up today my leg is aching. The pain seems to be radiating from my calf but my knee and ankle are hurting too. The skin isn’t red and it isn’t swollen but feels bruised. Is this likely to be the leftovers from cramp or side effect of anaemia? Or do I need to be more concerned?

Could be a DVT. Ring 101 today or get a doctor's appointment asap tomorrow.

Hi OP you definitely need to seek appropriate medical advice. It could be a dvt (blood clot) you have an increased risk in pregnancy. Get checked out today.
