Blood clots 37 weeks pregnant advice pls

Does anyone have any experience with blood clots in pregnancy? I have Phlebitis in my right thigh. So scared one doctor left me without any meds 2 days ago and told me to wait a week and see if it got any better. I'm now going back to the hospital as I have 4 lumps and one has got larger and lots more painful. On the NHS website it says if they are above the knee they are more serious as they can develop into DVT. Petrified now! Has anyone had this before? Thanks

Is that thrombophlebitis (?) if it is that, I had this when ds was 3 weeks old.

I got it again when I had laser varicose vein removal when he was about 2.

Both times it was the same leg.

I think 1 of the times I got some sexy stockings to wear but they didn’t say it was serious and I didn’t need any blood thinners or anything.

They did do a scan after my varicose veins surgery to see if it was a dvt but it was clear x

@danni0509 thanks for your reply! Yes this is it! Were yours located in the thigh? I am worried as it says online if its above the knee it can lead to DVT if not treated and I am so worried.

Just in triage now so waiting to see what they say x

Mine was right where the knee bends so not thigh but not far if you see what I mean.

How did you get on? X
