I gave birth to my son 2 weeks ago, it was a traumatic 3 hour labour after having my waters broken with my baby in distress the whole time, the tracer not working properly and then it all ended in forceps delivery with episiotomy and a labial tear. I lost almost 2 litres of blood. He was luckily absolutely fine and is a happy and healthy baby.
I wore compression stockings for 3 days in hospital and then a couple of days out, have been taking iron tablets as prescribed. Today I woke up with a dull ache in one of my shins, it feels exactly like a bruise except there is no bruising to be seen. Should I be worried about DVT?
