Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this it could be totally normal but it's my 1st pregnancy so I'm just not sure!

Basically I've had pains in my legs all day similar to intense growing pains and swelling. I work in an office so they must I walk is to and from the bus so I know it's not too much activity!
I've notice gradually throughout the day the pain is just in my left leg, especially in my knee and it flares up painfully every 10-15 mins or so. My left leg is a little more swollen too.
It could just be normal and I'm getting worried over nothing but just thought I would ask. I hope no one minds.

Also I'm 28 weeks pregnant if that means anything 😅

I think that swelling on one side only should be checked in case of DVT. You need to call someone.

Leg swelling is a sign of DVT so it’s worth getting it checked out, especially if the swelling is constant and the pain doesn’t come and go.

If it gets any worse or the pain is still there tomorrow I'll get it checked out 😕 The pain is constant in my left leg especially around my knee area, because I'm worried I feel like I'm imagining that my left leg is more swollen too!

@FakeTurtle if you've got a tape measure then measure round both calves to check. That's what GP did with me when they were concerned my calf pain could be DVT.

The pain has gone in my left leg today and instead it's in my left arm. Starting to think I'm just imagining things hahaa
