Is The Pain In Calf Due To Blood Clot During Pregnancy?

I am pregnant (1 day past due date) and have had a few blood clot scares, most recently a week ago and I had a ultrasound done but there was no clot. Now in the other leg, whenever I sit and quickly bring my leg up to the couch, I get a pain in my calf. Could this be a blood clot? There isn t a lot of pain any other time, just some achiness, every now and then

Hi,
From history it seems that this problem might not be due to clot but might be having some muscular pain while stretching legs.
Due to lack of physical exercises this is common problem.
Take some Iron, calcium and multivitamin supplements.
Take enough milk as well.
Ok and take care.
