How Can Pain And Soreness Of Calf During Pregnancy Be Explained?

I woke up Sunday morning to a pain in my left calf and stayed sore all day while I was at work. It is now tuesday and it just got worse and I called my doctor and they said it could be just a leg cramp, but I m afraid it s a blood clot, it hurts when I walk on it. I m 29 weeks pregnant, should I go to the ER?
