Left leg pain

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have woken up in the middle of the night with an achey left leg and tried fidgeting to relieve the pain but couldn't.

Dr google now has me worried it could be a blood clot but I can walk on it fine and apart from slight swelling in one spot there's nothing else visibly or physically (not red or hot) wrong with my leg. I got up and went to the bathroom and after having bare feet on cold tiles my leg is kind of numb but still aching around knee area.

Pretty sure it's nothing but don't want to leave if it is something or go all worry worry and waste everyone's time at the hospital and look like a hypochondriac.

Anyone else experience the same around 33 week?

Thank you

If it doesn't wear off after sleeping on it get it checked straight away as they are symptoms of a clot, but it could just be from sleeping on it and extra blood flow due to the pregnancy. Some people do get clots in pregnancy.

@Notaboutthebass I will thanks. I think it might have faded so will just see if it goes throughout the day.

Aching, numbness and slight swelling sounds as though it needs to be checked today.
