hi all been having some left leg pains mostly calf the last week but in different spots no swelling i’m worried about a dvt im 25 weeks pregnant i have not injured my foot as i’ve been resting alot due to pregnancy complications earlier on.

ive been up the a n e. they said d dimer is worthless in pregnancy but they were able to do a quick ultra sound on leg no clots seen but reading through forums they can be missed aspecialy as this was a quick ultrasound it took 5 mins i heard if your referred for a proper ultrasound of the leg it takes a long time
whay can i do now or request i really want to duke this out as i know its dangerouse thankyou all

If you’re still having symptoms and don’t feel reassured then speak to your consultant (are you a high risk pregnancy due to complications)
a scan is normally good at showing up clots visibly
