Unexpected Visit

Well, we had a little bit of a scare today. I have been having extreme pain in my right calf for the past several days, only to find that it was worse with each day. Today was kind of the last day I could handle it...I wasn't sleeping well with it, and having constant pain with walking or even sitting.

So I called my OB's office to only find that they wanted to see me immediately to evaluate for a blood clot. I was surprised to find that with pregnancy, you are naturally 10% higher risk for getting a blood clot in a leg related to pregnancy hormones.

So my physician evaluated me & felt that my exam was positive. So she ordered an ultrasound - which was NEGATIVE!! Praise the Lord!! I was very nercous as a blood clot in pregnancy would be quite dangerous and would require me to be on bedrest. Which I think we all know how I would handle being told I can't do anything...but lay around:) But thankfully, we don't even have to worry about that!! She is just going to increase my supplements & recheck me in 2 weeks when I have my ultrasound:)-

So thanks to all for your prayers!! They were answered & in a very short time!!

P.S. Baby's heartbeat is great and still moving like crazy!! So he/she is quite comfy regardless of the unexpected activity!! :)-
