Do I need to call the midwife?

I've got a pain in my back of my right leg, around and under the calf. It started earlier today randomly and has gotten steadily worse - currently about a six on the pain scale, worse when standing. There is no redness or swelling, but I worry about deep vein thrombosis, which my aunt got. What, if anything, should I do? I am one of life's worriers, so apologies if it is a silly question.

Yup give them a call or 111 ☺

Definitely worth a call to 111! Never be too careful

There's no harm in getting it checked, I would give 111 a call. It's probably nothing but when you're pregnant your risk of DVT is raised so better safe than sorry

Oh, don't know if it's relevant but I'm 26 weeks along.

Thanks, guys. I called 111 and they said to go to the walk in centre later tonight.
