Actually last week I ate a banana each day. I was slicing them for my cheerios lol. I think I've been working too hard. I'm a caregiver for an elderly man and have to help him in and out of wheelchair/to toilet etc and he weighs over 200lbs. I've spent the past 2 days in bed and the pain has gotten better.

You may just need some potassium eat a few extra bananas! ( lack of potassium can specifically cause Charlie horses in your calves, google it. Worked for me!)

Feels like good news!!

I had ultrasounds done to check for clots in both legs and my Dr is supposed to call with results. I'm assuming everything is ok since I haven't heard back from her. She examined me in her office before sending me downstairs (in hospital) for ultrasound and said it's good that my leg isn't swollen. I'm assuming the hospital wouldn't have let me go home had they found anything significant.

Any updates? I have been having the same pain and am already on lovonox injections for preventing blood clots because I have a closing disorder the doc looked at me today but was not my normal doc. She did not seem worried.

Me too! It was funny because the Doppler picked up the heart beat for a couple seconds, then stopped. She moved it a little further to the right, picked it up again then it stopped. She started laughing and said "this baby is really moving in there!"

Apparently baby wanted to play hide and seek ?

Oh I'm so happy you got to hear the ?

I haven't had this experience but I hope everything turns out ok!

Will do. We listened to baby's heartbeat so that was comforting. Taking the rest of the week off to relax.

Eek! So sorry Lindsay. Keep us updated.

My OB's office is in the hospital, so she had me go see her. She took urine then sent me to have ultrasounds done on both my legs and will call me once she gets all the results.

Hope all is ok!

Dr wants me to go to the ER and have it checked.

Oh wow. That's awful! I'm sorry you went through that. I just left a message with my OB's office. Thanks so much for the info. ?

Hi make sure it's not a clot,I got one with baby no.1 was on crutches for weeks & had to wear compression stockings & take blood thinning injections daily. Currently pregnant with baby no.3 & still have to wear compression stocking + take injections whilst pregnant, take care.

That's good to hear! Hopefully mine won't be anything serious too. ??

Hopefully it's nothing but I'm glad you're calling! My friend had this during her last pregnancy and they suspected a clot. They kept her overnight and turned out to be nothing thankfully!

I have to call my OB today anyway so I'm going to bring it up. There's no redness or swelling. I have never been checked for the clotting disorders but I did tell my OB about them when we discussed my family history. My grandpa, aunt and 1st cousin have them. My dad also died of a massive heart attack in his 40's.

Any heat or redness? Swelling? If any of those are present I would go to er. Do you have a personal hx of a clotting disorder, or just on your dad's side? I went for years not knowing about mine. Best to be safe than sorry, hope you feel better soon!

That does sound concerning for a blood clot. I wouldn't wait until your next appointment to bring it up, I would call asap. Hopefully it's nothing though!

That's what worries me. History of clotting disorders on my dad's side. Thanks for your response girl. I'll let my OB know.

My friend had this and they had to check for blood clots. And everything ended up fine. So just ask your doctor next appointment
