Pretty sure I pulled a muscle but now worried it could be blood clot

So I think I pulled a muscle. V embarrassingly I think I did it while, ahem, dtd, as it stated to hurt as I clambered off. Blush. Knew I shouldn't be doing such things at 36 weeks pregnant.

It's a burning pain, not constant but I don't have to be doing anything, in a line across my upper right thigh. I am lying down now and it hurts. But I don't feel it when walking waddling or doing most movement.

But I've suddenly started to worry it could be a blood clot. How would I know? No swelling or redness. Feel fine otherwise except for the fact I am huge and v pregnant. I have an obstetrician appt on mon so will mention it then, but do I need to be hotfooting it to a&e before then?

Ring 111 for advice or look on NHS direct website x

I had a blood clot in my leg & it was purple & very swollen. I also had flu like symptoms - achey & shivery. Hopefully you have just pulled a muscle but always best to opt for the safe option & get checked out.
Well done for dtd at 36 weeks, I can rarely be bothered at 25 weeks Grin

I dtd at 40 weeks - baby born next day Grin

It most probably is just a pulled muscle but it's best to be checked out

Have you measured the circumference of each thigh and compared them? Is the painful side larger?

It is more common to get DVT in the calf, but clots higher up can occur, though usually they will form higher up, in the pelvis.

Look at the veins in your legs and feet - do the veins in the sore leg look more visible/swollen?

Do you have a temperature/feel generally unwell?

If you answered yes to any of the above you should get medical advice asap.

There is nothing I wanted less at 25 weeks grizzer. But something has happened - hormones? - and I am now ultra horny

No redness or other symptoms here. Will wait until mon I think and mention it at my appt.
